Dueling

Throwing down the Gauntlet.

Quote:

There were other ways to avoid a duel besides good seconds or deloping. When challenged to a duel, the challengee usually had his or her choice of weapons. One excellent way to avoid dueling was to choose weapons either ridiculous or obviously suicidal. Howitzers, shotguns at five paces, sledgehammers, forkfuls of pig dung, and cat urine have been chosen as duel weapons. Abe Lincoln chose long swords fought on a small sandbar, which gave the lanky Lincoln a notable advantage. The duel was called off.

If challenged, what weapons would you choose?

Remington 700 at 1000 yards. Both shooters must be prone.

BASIC coding. (If I was up against someone who didn't know how to program, I'd beat them handily. If it was somebody with programming background, they would be repulsed by the GOTO statements.)

Film Cameras. I can decapitate anyone with one shot at any range.
