Face off: Ballistic Bullet VS Silver Bullet

I got this question from a customer today:
How does the “Ballistic Bullet” compare to the “Silver Bullet” in terms of intensity of vibration on maximum setting? Approximate battery life?

Its pretty awesome to see which words get switched: keg becomes jew, boardgame becomes bisexual, aunt becomes cunt, etc. Here is a sampling for your [...]
