If I remember correctly it was never determined exactly what caliber was actually used in that assassination.

"An FN M1910, serial number 19074, chambered in .380 ACP[1] was the handgun used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, an act that arguably precipitated the First World War.[2] Numerous previous sources erroneously cited the FN Model 1900 in .32 caliber as being the weapon Princip used. This has led to confusion over the caliber of the pistol actually used."

I find it facinating that the ruling families of Germany, England and Russia were all related by blood, and yet still went to war with one another.
Profanity is the crutch of the illiterate mind.

It is good to live in a depraved time, as one can appear virtuous at little cost.

Just remember......Theres no need to fear....Unnnderdog is here!!! Well, scrappy anyway.....

They also operate Wikipedia. I was given a chance to apply as an art history editor and researcher for Wikipedia and on the application there was a bunch of stuff about adhering to certain requirements and moral standards of the unification church. Those requirements were fairly general and didn't seem like they'd effect content at all.

Generally I find that Wikipedia is very accurate and well researched. I decided not to take the job because it would have involved way too much time even thiough it would have paid fairly well.
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

I would guess A, but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong.
