The nuke is overkill, just think of the collateral damage. I was thinking more in line with a long distance surgical weapon, like at .50 BMG, or a .338 Lapua.

Is ammo available for the 23mm A/T?

We had a collection of 25mm spent casings and would reload using pulled rounds from the 25mm Bushmaster Chain gun on the Bradley. Only down side was the $ 200 Dest/Dev tax per round. That was why we sleeved it for a 50cal. Much cheaper to shoot, but not quite as much fun.

Tim, how 'bout some details on the fast thinking? What happened?

Sorry for the late post. But here's the story. I was attempting to gas up my nearly empty car at a really bad BP station in downtown Detroit. The station turned out to be shut down after I stopped, got out, and put the fuel hose in the tank. This druggy, "down and outer" approached me, asked me repeatedly to give him money for a bus fare. I know not to engage these guys from my experience working inner city as a former police officer, so I ignored him. That just pissed him off, he came at me nearly screaming "I need some money man!" Rather than engaging in either physical or verbal contact, I simply began speaking German to the guy. It totally threw him off as he attempted to figure out what the hell I this crazy foreigner was saying to him. I then told him Auf Wiefersehen with a broad smile, and hopped in the car and drove off as fast as possible.
