Shoot the button (or correct angle of the switch) that launches our nukes to Russia.

If it's not a button or switch, or any pushable object then fvck

This makes me think: if you shoot a button, would it push the button before blowing it to pieces?

Nice gun, but mine's a .45 so you can't use mine Besides... it's only accurate to about 100 yards.

Anyway, I think that you should shoot Madonna with it. The weeks of mourning from their millions of fans and gay men (not sure why, but gay men love Madonna), should cost the world billions in lost productivity.

Psst... it's also chambered in 9x19mm (parabellum)

unless the warhead is armed, it will do nothing.

Plus, there are two pilots in a B-2.

I don't think nuclear plants have critical valves. Everything is built with redundancy, and there aren't too many single failure points.

Shooting paintings won't destroy the value. Holes can be repaired.

Unfortunately there are international agreements preventing pretargeting of nuclear warheads so none of our nukes are actually targeted yet.... =[

Yes, I was thinking about that, but perhaps you can rupture the pipes holding the water which contacts the control rods. That's what I was thinking of. Although, I realize it's doubtful that a 9mm could penetrate the pipes.

ooo.. Good logic here.

edit: oh wait, I was thinking you ment something else.

As in If the shooter is not there to precieve the world than the world is infact meaning less and assigned a null value, meaning 1>0, meaning the shooter is infact greater than the world.

shoot the crane fuel tank/weak point that's at the top of the tallest skyscraper in dubai being built and creating a ripple effect and bringing the whole structure down.

 

[Jadow]

shoot an asteroid, the impact from the bullet being just enough to slightly alter the asteroid's course, sending it crashing into the earth.

What is that painting? It's amazing

Triptych 1974-77 by Francis Bacon (1909-1992) sold for $86.3 Million in May last year making it the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction and the most valuable Contemporary work ever sold in Europe. If you have ever wondered how prices go so high for pieces like this, it turns out that some folks just seem to have more money for their ?collection? budgets than many small countries.

It's only #13 on this list

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._5,_1948

I can't believe this is the most expensive painting ever sold, if you can even call it a painting. Looks like something I did in preschool.

Plus I think current UN law stipulates that nuclear warheads cannot even be put into the position to be used as weapons - meaning, all current warheads should be stored somewhere, not even loaded on a missile or in a launch tube.

Granted, this could be done fairly quickly in the event of a nuclear war, but I think the UN, with USA in agreement, that nukes should never be used again, and the remaining nuclear stipulations from the UN state countries should not even pursue nuclear weapons, and that all currently nuclear-capable countries must no longer pursue advances in nuclear weapons and never use them again.

WWII and then the Cuban Missile Crisis made people get all bitchy about nukes.

Wouldn't you need to shoot him in the hands to prevent threads like this??
