	BBs (for air guns) and pellets (ditto) are also nice. I was
inspired by the original message, and stopped on the way home. I
picked up 600 BBs that will serve perfectly as turrets or sensor domes
for scratchbuilt, _and_ 250 "wadcutter" pellets. These pellets are
shaped like a little rocket nozzle, and are going to serve as engines
for my scratchbuilt ships.
