If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Technically a Steam Engine is a Piston Engine. I just uses steam to move the piston rather than petrol, diesel or coal  ;D
