The first video contradicts what the Mythbusters claimed.Basically that you can do it only with a Minigun.Also the tree that the Mythbusters cut down is a dried up stump.The Maxim cut down a green tree.

My neighbours tree is jutting into my house .Not only I have to take care of the rotten leaves falling in my drive way but also the perpetual darkness in the rooms. No amount of reasoning makes the lady under stand that the tree is a nuisance to me. The wall which we share was virtually tilted by about 35 degrees. The result about 100 feet of the drive way wall had to be reconstructed with RCC pillars . Any idea if there was a way of getting the tree chopped / or atleast the branches trimmed. Any idea whats the rule in Delhi regarding the cutting of trees....the only rule I know is that we can't use the machine gun

Wouldn't it be cheaper to cut it down with an axe than this....Nice video tough, goes on to prove that it's worth to the people who can afford it...

Its not the cost of cutting the tree but the concept that is shown or proved here.

Well, I have been regularly gathering the fat green mangoes hanging on my neighbour's tree with my Feinwerkbau C-10 pistol by shooting their stems off. I do this with a proper solid rest off my window frame and manage to drop at an average of about four mangoes in a dozen shots from a distance of four to six meters. A very thrilling exercise for me and my servants. My neighbour is still trying to locate the stealthy mango thief. Certainly more fruitful (pun intended) then cutting down a poor living tree.

A very 'HEALTHY' exercise indeed.....by the by, how do you recover the mangoes??? Don't they fall back on to your neighbors yard?....Hope your neighbor is not a member of IFG !!!...He might take an interest into shooting & airguns as a precautionary measure to counter the thieving magpie...

Heh...heh... Unfortunately for my neighbour, most of the mangoes hover on top of my compound because that is the only way the tree can soak in the sun. The biggest advantage I have is that they loom at height of my shooting window. My guy, in a very casual manner stands right under the intended mango to be shot at and catches it as it falls. Well, not always, we do end up with "mango split" at times but its a lot of fun never the less. Stolen mangoes always taste better you see. One has to be real fortunate to be able to indulge in this kind of sporting activity in a concrete jungle of Mumbai and I surely am.

Stolen sweets are always sweeter,
Stolen kisses much completer,
Stolen looks are nice in chapels,
Stolen, stolen be your apples.

When to bed the world are bobbing,
Then's the time for orchard robbing;
Yet the fruit were scarce worth peeling
Were it not for stealing, stealing.

Don't remember when I wrote this one,....old age catching up I guess.
A very sweet poem mundeire.
