For me - the coolest Phoenix Command memory was the time that, during a
firefight, two guys shot each other dead with head shots.
What makes this so cool was that one guy fired first, but was using a
fairly large calibre bullet and so while it was in it's time of flight, the
other guy had time to get his shot off.
