re: #100 Pawn of the Oppressor

Sure. I was just thinking in terms of how the killing happens, more than how the weapon itself works: punch holes in the body to destroy brain function through immediate catastrophic trauma or rapid blood loss.

I keep thinking of the scene from Terminator 2 where the T-800 and young John Connor are watching the kids play-shoot at one another.

“We’re not going to make it, are we?”
“It is in your nature to destroy yourselves.”

A testament to just how good T2 was. By that point you’ve been watching nearly an hour of incredible gun-violence played for basic action movie thrills. And then you get a scene of children playing with toy guns, an incredibly common sight in America, and it chills you to the bone.
