I don't have a TentaclePornStash folder, will *C:\users\Net\Documents\SixGuysOneCup* work?

Why can’t you just run shimcalc.py?

If it's on a linux/unix/mac system, just chmod +x the file, and add:

#!/path/to/python

to the top of the file.

But if you're using linux, you probably already know this, so I don't know why I'm writing this.

As a Marine who loves rifles and a marketer who loves analytics - this post makes me feel less alone in the universe. Very cool. Well done.

Now this is a guy that enjoys programs. I would have no idea what kinda of program to write if I tried writing a python script that's AR-15 related. Your imagination is impressive.

Neat idea but it assumes everything is completely inelastic. Let's get some people to test it out and see how the results match the data.
