Not only will the use of such a weapon bring around uninvited guests with
automatic weapons and no sense of humor, it is also the classic case of
using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.
The Marine Corps says three rounds, which is two rounds too many but I guess
they have a marksmanship problem. A single 9MM round will do the trick.
On the other hand, a quieter method would be a low level format using a PC
with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card connected to the disk drive.

Art,
I like your Marine Corps method and I favor the 90mm
recoiless rifle myself. VERY efficient and one round
will usually do the trick. However the local police
would probably frown on any explanation I might try to
offer, HIPPA be damned!
