How do you say PWN3d in Arabic?


The AP shows it has no clue how a gun actually works

From my buddy Heath, maker of JarJar hilarity (seriously, he made JarJar funny, thats rad), come this link:

AP News photo:



Nothing wrong with that so far..... but look at the caption. This woman apparently claims these bullets "hit her house following an early coalition forces raid" in Sadr City. For those who share the AP's ignorance of firearms, those rounds she is holding are just that - full fledged rounds. Slug, casing, powder, etc. When you shoot something, only the top part of that, the bullet, actually comes out of the gun (see this helpful diagram).

To sum up, the only way those could have "hit her house" is if someone threw them at it. Ahhh, the joys of having those "multiple layers of checks and balances."
