By the end of 1945, the bombing had killed an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima, and a further 74,000 in Nagasaki. In the years that followed, many of the survivors would face leukemia, cancer, or other terrible side effects from the radiation.

I’m with you HILLBILLYHUNTER. I’ll go with initial reaction. Stupid fucking comment. My father was over there shortly after the bombs dropped. His photos showed total devestation and what he saw shuck with Him the rest of his life. Rarely did he talk of it though.

He means that Gimp's rifle shot was even more deadly than an atomic bomb. A cumbersome metaphor, but plainly he wasn't expecting two Japanese veterans of the actual bombings to be on this hunting forum. Konichiwa. Banzai.

(My father was at Pearl Harbour (on the day) went through Guadalcanal and the Phillipines, and his thoughts were that they should have dropped more atom bombs. So, you know, everyone's got an opinion.)
