I was good this year and got a Howa 1500 in .300 win mag. It is literally a cannon. A while back someone took me out to shoot one and it went through both sides a thick steel fence pole (about 3/16ths of an inch) with a hollowpoint.

And global warming answered my brother's Christmas wish and we got a record 14 inches of snow on Christmas eve, This is the sixth or seventh time in 106 years that we have woken up to a white Christmas here in Oklahoma.

My mom's old car and some money, and with that money i'm buying a Casio Exlim FC-100. It can shoot up to 1,000 FPS (although at very low resolution) and 420 FPS at YouTube quality. This should produce some amazing potato gun movies!

You know what, my wife bought me a Nerf gun too. :D
It looks like a double barreled shotgun and has shells with it. She don't like it too much now, though.

She took a neck shot...

MW2 - the storyline was not all that great, but online play is awesome. It's almost like is was made for the sole purpose of online play.
