This reminds me of that Troll constable in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. His name escapes me at the moment unfortunately( Detritus?), but nevermind that, the reason I mentioned him is because he wields a crossbow. Not just any crossbow, but the crossbow, because you see, Troll ain't wimpy-sized in the Discworld. We are talking tree-trunk-sized bolts here. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] When the bolt is launched, it is propelled at super-sonic speeds, causing it to vapourise into a super-heated wood-chip cloud of doom. Targets aren't so much as impaled by the bolt, but incinerated and flayed alive. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I love reading the description of the process. It was nearly one page long. [img]smile.gif[/img]
