Computer slowness getting you down? or, maybe you’re just getting tired of Macs. FullMag fired a T8 anti-tank gun at it and see what the destruction looks like. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it in slow motion is taking it to another level of curiosity, see the destruction here.
A 90mm Canon would take a nice picture.
Frank Cannon would crush it with his Lincoln Continental.
If they had installed a Linux distro on that machine, they could have had a personal computer.
The 100mm fixed macro lens by Canon was my favorite lens when I was a Canon user.

Or by just sitting on it....
Sort of an expensive way to disassemble a computer...
He would have to be shot in arm at least once, punch it and then sit on it.
That sequence was a typical scene in a Cannon episode - A Quinn Martin Production.
Yes, but it’s the fastest since Apple doesn’t like screws.
Footage taken by a maker of swords shows the round being unable to penetrate the Apple product.
It only made a 90mm hole in it. Who’s to say it doesn’t still work otherwise?

Yup, that was the template for every show, but it was still some good watchin’. Good thing he never tangled with anybody who had taken a basic shooting class.
But a good way to relieve stress! Long ago before retiring, I managed a team of techs who took care of I.T. equipment including gear in the police department. A cop called us to take a "defective" PC off his hands. Bullet hole through the center of the screen. Said his gun went off accidentally while trying to get the laptop computer to work right. Uh-huh. We replaced it. Police were so pissed off at problems using computers that there was no action taken against the cop, just a bunch of knowing smiles.
Most of the baddies in those old shows were pretty lousy gunmen and almost all seemed to have 38 snub nose revolvers.
The Untouchables sometimes used Thompsons but that was an earlier time.
Sounds like my last job. We had a sales rep who while very effective, was just a plain nasty guy. We had a standing rule that there would be no repercussions for hanging up on him.
I proved it true. A few minutes after a particularly difficult phone call with him, I entered the office manager’s office and told her I needed a new telephone.
“Why? she asked.
“Mine, um...broke? I replied
“How did it break?
“I, um...punched it and it broke in half.”
She asked “Who were you talking to?”
“Bob”
“OK”
The next day I had a new phone and nothing was ever said.
If memory serves, “M Squad” had some serious firepower now & then, too.

Sort of a hoot to see them shooting that about 15 miles shout of me. I know that place well.
Never saw that one.
