Yeah, one of my pet peeves, in films or books when they "fire" bows or crossbows. I know, it's just popular entertainment… What can one expect? |

In the seventies I was stationed in Frankfurt Germany. I got to see the water cannons turned on the Communist demonstrators three times. It worked wonders. I was never close enough to hear what command was given. |
