If they're made out of LEGO, does it matter if we send helicopter
gunships?  :)

Good point. You don't have shooting cannons, do you ;-)

If I did [1], TLG would take them away from me; being an American
and all.  I'd just end up shooting an eye out with a round 1x1 [2]
or something.  :)

*fumbles around awhile with his cannons* Ouch, my eye!!!  Hey,
somebody should do something about those shooting cannons; they
might put someone's eye out someday [3]...

You know what surprises me, LEGO does sell #8239 Cyber Slam Spider;
that's got a shooting mechanism on it.  Doesn't make sense does
it?

[1] I do, but I can't admit it publicly or the LEGO police (TLP)
    will come after me.

[2] Not only a round 1x1, but a black round 1x1.  My imperials don't
    like using those namby-pamby pink or yellow round 1x1.  If they
    did that, they'd probably get some funny name like
    "Queen's Regiment" or something silly like that.  :)

[3] Starting to sound like my father.
