Like you're fighting a fucking desperate war for your survival.

And one big trend, as I'm sure you know, Joe, in military arms design over the last couple of decades, but it's really escalated over the last 10 or 15 years, have been small, portable, semi-automatic and automatic grenade launchers.
In many cases, ones that can fire like smart grenades, right?
