I taped 7 drives together and shot them with Military Ball from a Mosin Nagant Model 44. At 50 yards it only penetrated 5 HD's. Maybe if I had hit the platters rather then center punching the spindle it would have penetrated more.
Long distance. 50 or 100 yards is best with the rifle. Offhand they make a dandy little target but if your going to use a bench back them up to 200 yards.
If handguns are your thing then try the 44mag or 45LC at 25yards. In any case I suspect that 3 or more rounds through the platters will make them hard to read.

Never said I was a Republican and I never said that Republicans are NEVER at fault for "anything". I made a mildly (I thought)amusing comment about a very obvious Slashdot trait.
Now it is true that I did leave out the other two major possibilitys (according to the Gospel of Slashdot), after Bush/Rove/Cheaney you have either (1) America (or fat Americans, take your choice) or (2) WalMart. One of those three (four) has to be responsible for the legislature of the state of Washington passing and the Democratic Governor signing into law a stupid and intrusive bill
Now as for helping, since I don't live in Washington but in the great state of Komifornia, I don't see as it is any of my business. I also see it as a "States Rights" issue. Having read the Bill of Rights I don't see this as anything but. If the state of Washington wants to outlaw online gaming they can. I think it is stupid but they have the right. If the people in the state don't agree they can vote them out.
You on the other hand leap straight to insults and profanity. One of us has an anger management problem and I don't think it is me. Put down the keyboard, take a step or two back and take a couple of deep breaths.
Remember that "Profanity is the inevitable linguistic crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker."

Pity that Governor Chris Gregoire is a Democrat. Otherwise you all could blame it on Bush/Rove/Cheaney.

2.9% vs 5.1%.. Close enough for slashdot I guess
