[ILUG] [OT] Old / cheap webcams

[Ewan Oughton]

Richard,



Nice idea, but these arrows are pointy, and travelling at around 250 -
300foot/sec - if it bounced, it would be lethal, and I have a feeling
unless it was some *thick* perspex, it would go straight through with a
fair amount of its velocity intact....



Regards



Ewan
