I think we need a photograph of lots of unnecessary knives and axes before we can even think of that!

Surely the answer to question 3 is: None, I'm going to take them all down with my sniper's rifle from a position of concealment.

fair enough.

I went with a less technical bent in the end, should not offend anyone. But thanks v.much for all the info - I may well use it elsewhere

The door opened a crack. A revolver appeared and an outstretched arm.

The fingers flexed gently, the revolver settling in the hand. The ormolu clock on the mantle began to chime.

M.Balinozov, director of the department of state industry continued reading. The reported output of the third ukranian stakhanite hero of the republic iron mine seemed inconsistent with the ore delivery at Kurkusk.

As the third stroke chimed the hammer of the revolver drew back, the knuckle whitening with strain.

Steam rose gently from a fine dresden teacup.

As the fourth stroke rang out M. Balinozov turned the page. Agents reported unrest at all stages from the mine to the port. Or so the security service chose to inform him.

The hand trembled slightly and then steadied.

fifth stroke.

Other agents reported interference in lading from the state security department.

M.Balinozov did not hear the click as the hammer fell.

The remaining chimes were accompanied by no similar excitements. The revolver withdrew as noon completed its annunciation.

Eighteen minutes later an aide retrieved a tattered tarot card from the doorway of the office.

Ah, so the revolver was just a red herring - he actually bashed him over the head with a hammer

Everyone's a critic

We go on to a sequence of 'hits' with the russian roulette theme - note it doesn't actually say that the gun fires.

Seriously though, I do appreciate the answers from everyone.

(although anybody with a Tom Lehrer sig cant really pass judgement)

Took me a minute to find the lyrics - although I seem to remember that all 'cow ' references should be pure-bred gurnsey

Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody else, under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat perhaps, maybe a large flesh-colored squirrel. at any rate, it seems to me that this marks an encouraging new trend in the field of blood sports, and deserves a new type of hunting song which I present herewith

I always will remember
'Twas a year ago november
I went out to hunt some deer
On a mornin' bright and clear
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow

I was in no mood to trifle
I took down my trusty rifle
And went out to stalk my prey
What a haul I made that day
I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow
Instant Song Lyrics
The law was very firm, it
Took away my permit
The worst punishment I ever endured
It turned out there was a reason
Cows were out of season
And one of the hunters wasn't insured

People ask me how I do it
And I say, "there's nothin' to it
You just stand there lookin' cute
And when something moves, you shoot!"
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred guernsey cow

Depends on whether it's the live or studio version.

If one were to be looking to cull a politician, using a revolver and silencer/suppressor what would be the optimum weapon? Why?

Easy. Just tell the local rags that you local politician was found with a revolver and silencer. Has the advantage that you can't be prosecuted, you don't even need to spend any money on a weapon and as owning anything more offensive than a video of Simon Cowell criticising someone will have you transported to the colonies for life there's no need to do anything more.
