	Sir-
		While I in no way doubt your experience with spear-
fishing, you must remember that I come from an area in the U.S.
where deer hunting w/ a grenade launcher *is* a valid idea if 
not a legal method. Your assesment of the situation is excellent
however the possibility still exsists. 
	Hunters returning from unsucessful forays blast mailboxes
dogs, ect., not to mention the use of shotgun slugs, and in some
cases illegal auto or semi automatic weapons. People *are* weiord
(oops weird), and excessive, and anyway this whole topic is getting
dry. The original idea of a speargun was not offered seriously 
anyway, I just felt left out.
