It has happened before, as well as arguments culminating in an individual being thrown under a train or having a limb held onto the rail. I have quite a few of those in my mental 'collection.'
It is a cultural thing. Can you imagine if they burnt carriages or buses here every time there were delays?

 :lol:

I must say it would be funny if I could flex some chest and arm muscles and cause a tight shirt to rip, and then tell 'em the X-rays make me a bit of a toughie...
But alas I don't have the build or the disposition for it. I once kicked an elevator ceiling grill (yeah I was fairly supple back then) and ripped my trousers but I doubt that would get as much applause today as a Hulk-style shirt rip.
Damn, again I fall short of expectations...

I can see that I am not going to escape the eel racing suggestion. However...however...yes, however, it is a co-authored idea, so you sir must accept some credit for the Eel Racing concept. And I would hardly trash an eel that belongs to both of us  :-D

We can't let him find out, he'll demand a share of our profits. A three-way split is too much!!

Won't that thing overheat a tad quick without the plug in place and water in the jack? :-).

@ Odin

It probably would, if it was capable of firing  :-)  
One of the ex-SAS guys already told me that I should have set it up better, with water cooling and all but then again he wasn't the one who picked it up and carried it outside. I can tell you it isn't very light, even if you only carry what you see there.

Edit: it is part of several deactivated historical pieces at the shooting range clubhouse.
