A CHAMPION pea shooter was aiming for glory again yesterday after creating a state of the art "weapon" - complete with laser sight.

George Hollis, 59, has won the World Peashooting Championships four times.

Today he takes on 150 rivals from across the globe who will use tripods and lightweight carbon tubes to hit a dartboard-sized putty target from 12ft.

But electrical engineer George plans to blow them away with his assassin-style pea shooter that would make Dennis the Menace drool.

It even has a laser sight and grip and shoulder rest for stability.

But despite all that, George, taking part in the contest at Witcham Cambs, still admits: "When it comes down to it it's about peas and

It's funny that I just caught one of the gun shows this week...I think, Best Defense, Survival, and they were recommending that a blow gun is a pretty good addition to any bug out or hunkering down preparation (for small game, etc.).

I believe I recall though, that blowguns, like many other things that are fun, are illegal in MA.

This. For folks who enjoy target shooting, they have to build stuff like this.

Trust me they'll ban it in the UK soon. Mind you, this new gov't might not....

That's the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. Those idiots across the pond should revolt....again.
