Nothing so far.

Only true in the drag free case.

len.

It is a form of compulsion with a total disconnect from results.

"model rocket kit"?? The OP said HIGH-power rocket motors. Those can lift a useable warhead. And terrorists have already launched MULTIPLE rocket attacks on Israel. Volley fire can be very effective.

Even in the radical chance that a lucky strike is

Depends on what the terrorists accept as "effective". They would prefer that the aircraft crash and burn,but just the attack itself would be very effective politically,and economically. (disturbing air travel;very costly to the economy)

They just have to get lucky ONCE,we have to be lucky all the time.

Use copperheads! AeroTech says how great they are in the marketing literature.

You ought to read the post and pay attention to HIGH-POWER rockets and motors. Terrorists are very good at improvising weapons. Ever hear of Qassam rockets? Do you think those are no worry to Israel?

And if a hobby rocketeer can put a pound of payload in a hi-power rocket,and expect recovery,than a larger,non-recovered payload could be substituted. A pound of C-4 makes a considerable explosion.

Perhaps single rocket launches. What about a 12 rocket launch from a close range?

Except you also failed to READ the part about HIGH POWER rocket motors.

Whan did D12's become HIGH POWER motors?

"High power" is a Tripoli Construct. I know. I was THERE.

To ATF any and all propellant actuated devices are EXEMPT. Period. Why are they not ALSO exempt to TRA and NAR?

Answer: morons.

The colonel's family isn't rolling on the floor laughing, Jerry...

Let me help:

"at a _building_ and most of them missed."

ROFL

What about the tact that APCP is explosive? Has that been abandoned now for this new tact "the propellant can be used to launch a terrorist weapon"? When does that stop? Will the BATF then be testing rockets with clusters of D/E Estes motors to reach equivalent impulses of the G80s they reportedly have or will buy?

Let's see... the names David and Shatzner.... could that be a name the Lone Gunmen would use to combine David Ducovny with William Shatner? Yep! Sounds like Frohike is behind this one. ; )

No, he's a retired Starship captain who raises horses now. ; )

Jerry are you related to my brother's wife in some way? ; ) We could be in laws.

I never said I was popular or liked. Merely right (and rude).

And willing to admit when I am wrong (which is not all bad).

Er... you're fabricating your specifications on the fly... even worse than the NATF :)

What are you firing in batches of 12, at what are you firing at, and how close is "close range"?

Give me answers and I'll give you a CEP.

You can do anything with anything... if you rig things right.

And what does this have to do with BATF's snit fits over being challenged on this matter... and their wildly impossible claims about hobby or sport rockets?

FOIA does not apply if the information is claimed to be sensitive to national security. You may be able to ask if the test was done, but not about the results.
