Great minds think alike. I did consider that possibility for
a second. ;-) I actually came across a paintball gun made up to
look like the .50, which was pretty cool, but not cool enough to
pay the price they were asking. :-) Speaking of the .50, I
pulled the gas tank out last night on the Willys to do some work
on it and found all sorts of stuff back there - tootsie rolls,
smarties, a comb, a pen, a coat button, a wooden dowel of unknown
purpose and a .50 cal belt feed link. :-)
