thanks for your reply :) I like your wording, the wiseness of age :). trying to practice the art of the way of the christ :)... as they say with the tent in the desert allegory, seek and god shall guide you...

no modern alloys do always better... I think it's was in afg, like 2km...

and I was wrong...

3450meter... I mean... it's almost pure luck... until direct energy weapon, like lazer... there... it's the horizon and minimum in the km units :)...

but anyway, no weapon can defeat the soul of man, who put his destiny in the hands of god :) and who knows it may be the angels of death who will oppose those attempting... it's already too much for them... so god himself..., it's even impossible to think about it in this state :) ...
