I don't even want to know how you kill someone with bagpipes

It's not a killing weapon, it's a psychological one. Pipes stir the blood of the highlander and frighten the English.

yeah, the pipes would be a huge demoralizer...you figure something that loud with a sounds like the pipes have coming at you is going to be trouble...

Curious that the image in the lead post seems to illustrate what appears to be an English banner flying from the pipe.

The first (and last) attempt I made at playing Scottish pipes was definately a demoralising experience for myself and anyone within earshot. A weapon of war indeed!
