A weapon I could "use" eh? The GAU Avenger 30mm seven barreled rotary cannon, 4200 rounds per minute, most powerful gun carried by an aircraft. Preferable in an A10, of course, which is built around it.

@WLB

Yay! Someone is actually interested. Kahr Arms is a business that was started by none other than the oldest son of Reverend Sun Myung Moon, a graduate of Harvard, no less, Hyo Jin Moon. He started it with, of course, his daddy's money.

He claims to have been fascinated by the challenges of packing as much payload into as little a pistol as possible. The 3" barrell guns are almost like derringers.

Reality is so much more twisted than fiction, isn't it?

@All,

Those so-called WMDs are not really worth discussing in terms of "weaponry." To me, weaponry has a more mano-a-mano-ish ring to it. I suppose of someone were to create a war game in which whole universes are pitted against each other so that nuclear warheads are relegated to pea-shooter status, then they would be "weaponry" of a sort. But we're no where near that scale of advancement on our little evolutionary path so, they're too outsized for me.

I know that a number of you are interested in this so here's an opening; what about aerial combat? What kinds of fighter aircraft do you appreciate the most? I must admit to being a fan of the older types; the Sopwith Camel, Spitfire, etc. That's not to say that I dislike modern jets, however I do not really have a preference.

English Electric Lightning & Canberra, Avro Vulcan, Handley-Page Victor, Blackburn Buccaneer, Hawker Hunter. finest aircraft ever built. Not a Yankee nut or bolt in sight and no bl**dy Oo-ro-pean collaboration. And anything with the name "de Havilland" in it.. what ever happened to us? We used to be the best at everything. Now we're just cr*p, and slaves, and we have to buy foreign because our stuff is too expensive and too shoddy for our own people to use (look at the p.o.s. SA-80, what a fiasco)

actually i prefer helicopters. And I prefer ships to helicopters. I really like patrol boats and gunboats best. One day in the future when I don't have schools and universities to pay for and I can sell that bl**dy caravan, I will buy myself one and spend my idle days tear-assing around various bits of the coast. i saw some beautiful Italian Customs cutters in Rimini last year.. I was so jealous. That's the life!

(ff, if yer gonna post pics make 'em smaller than the Todd-AO 70mm Sensurround you normally use. Or is your browser permanently set to Panavision?)

The F-4 Phantom had the highest kill ratio in the nam war and should be updated. One mean dog fighting machine

Finalday

Until that final day. /Keith Green\ (1953-1983)

The Phantom is a nice piece of hardware, but I also think that the Harrier isn't a bad all-round fighter.

Note: I'm now a Colonel! 198 more posts, and I can join Taw and the others in the ranking officer's lounge!

That's not something to be proud of - TLR is beginning to look like a banana republic: we have more colonels than sergeants

not me chum, I'm a prole. I'm so not officer material...

Speaking of ranks, do I get to wear epaulettes now? How about some nice gold braid?
Lots of scrambled eggs on my cap? Oooh. And those mirror lensed aviator glasses that all Banana Republicans like to wear!

yes, but i get more. let's just recall who suits the role of megalomaniac dictator better...

Yeah, Mustang!

Way to shoot me down, FF (pun intended ).

@Taw..

Why would you want to wear more than one pair of aviator glasses? Oh well, to each megalomaniac his own I guess.

If its the scrambled eggs, your cap would look like it had an omelet on it!

>>>Edit

Eh? Oh. Sorry guys, I am referring to the Banana Republic rank thing from the previous page. Taw says he gets more, etc.

Scrambled eggs is a grunt's method of describing the gold leaf on a military officer's cap. Taw, saying he is the primo of that order, would have an omelet.

I cannot believe I am explaining this cr*p.
