I don't think he was denigrating Capstick as much as the colloquial usage of "cap" in the US. To "cap" is a street gang expression for shooting someone. Used in such unfortunate turns of phrase including "pop a cap in his ass" (cap from a percussion cap, God knows where these thugs came up with that allusion.) I presume this is what set off Terry, not a grudge against a decent sort nor a problem with a great cartridge which I use and enjoy. Dave
