You could very well be right, I was just making an educated guess. Well, I guess I have no choice now but to go buy one and find out for myself, all for a good cause I suppose!
Actually now that I think about it my girlfriend's grandpa has one, maybe if I ask reeeaaaally nicely he'll let me shoot it
