I am a 40 year old male whose childhood dream was to serve in the armed forces and to that end, tried to educate myself in all things military. I spent my allowance on CDs of field manuals, I read and requested on inter-library loan any military book I could identify. My senior year in high school I was told that I was ineligible for military service due to my astigmatism. After my failure to enroll myself in the armed forces due to poor eyesight, I had to decide between my two loves, history and computers. I ended up an amateur historian and an IT professional, marching with Company B (La Crosse Light Guard), Second Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry (re-enactor) in Gettysburg, PA for the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and Company C "Eagle Company" of the Eighth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment "Eagle Regiment". I would have my own prototype(in the "original item" meaning) or reproduction of every uniform and equipment of the US and some of several other armed forces if I hadn't gotten married and blessed with a wife and five daughters. In addition to my technological prowess working with prototypes (In the "experimental item" meaning) of some High-Performance Computing systems, I spent Six years as a firefighter (Wisconsin Firefighter II Certificate #B42440) and Four years as a Wisconsin Licensed Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Responder both of which ended after a disabling injury to my right arm and Five years in the United States Air Force Auxiliary - Civil Air Patrol (ID #462269) achieving the rank of 1st Lieutenant with Mission Observer Wings, Ground Team Badge and One "Find". I also am a "General Class" Amateur Radio Operator (Commonly called "Ham Radio") operating on VHF and UHF bands with the FCC call-sign KC9DXF. I am also a published author as my work "Election Day" was printed in the Anthology "An Election of Words" from Scout Media. I am the nit-picker during movies/TV Shows such as during the Steven Spielberg film "Saving Private Ryan", when Captain Miller(Tom Hanks) fires his M1911A1 at the tank in his "Last Stand" his second shot shown either jams the gun or locks the gun empty. I purchased a Rock Island Arsenal M1911A1 on the day of my 21st birthday and have used it extensively in both concealed carry, home defense carry, and practice (I wanted to compete in IDPA at the time, yes with a .45acp M1911A1-style pistol, I was overenthusiastic and young) and know when you can see that much barrel firing one handed the rest of the shots were not possible.
I did have one question, If "Cartoon weapons" are not allowed how is the Yosemite Sam revolver given to Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" included?
