Fires at a rate of 300 rounds a minute I think. Bigger version of the pic here (hamiltonandtroup.files.wordpress.com) |

| 782314 | 2009-06-15 07:35:00 | That wiki link says it has a 20 round drum magazine. Christ I never knew someone had invented an fully automatic shottie Be good for duck shooting and riot control. Best avatar I have seen. |

| 782317 | 2009-06-15 08:47:00 | The name should stay as we already have a team NZ in the sailing would be stupid to rename all of the sporting teams Team NZ would be confusing but cheap on advertising I suppose. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 782318 | 2009-06-15 09:32:00 | I think that if we want our New Zealand Rugby team to improve long term, 2 things need to happen. We need to drop the name All Blacks And they need to sing the National Anthem (properly) We must be the only country in the world obsessed with giving our national teams names. (black caps, silver ferns, white socks etc etc) When new players join our rugby team they say they have wanted to be an All Black since they were 5 years old. They don't say I have wanted to play for New Zealand. This means they have no real allegiance to New Zealand. What is the Italian soccer team called - Italy ! What is the top English soccer team called - Manchester United. So I think the current New Zealand ruby tea, has very little pride in New Zealand and more pride in a name or a Jersey (or their pay cheque) Before the last world cup, we boasted out Team B can beat any other teams. apparently, that's a myth. Look on the positive side. we use to win try matches and lose at the semi-finals of the World cup or quarter-finals. Now we lose our first try match against France. Could it mean that we may have hope in the next world cup??? Could our luck be changing!!! |

| 782319 | 2009-06-15 09:59:00 | Although our side has lost its edge from the previous glorys of winning the world cup and winning all 3 matches against england i think they should still be called the all blacks. I think however we need better players or we have to train up all our players to a All Black Level, not a all black 'fill in' level |

| 782320 | 2009-06-15 14:58:00 | I believe Rugby Union began to lose its way when it went professional, with players on season contracts, and talented new blood with even less chance of being included. When players receive 6 figure remuneration for playing, they are no longer "sportsmen" they are paid entertainers and a brand name - with all the negative aspects of that status, and along the way the spirit of sportsmanship gets sidelined. Whether we like to admit it or not, Rugby is now primarily about money. |
