Wow, I want to know where Russ fishes if you need that for the trout... Outside a nuclear power plant?

and one with a powerful enough engine that the gun won't slow the plane down and stall it. Kinda like the A-10 and it's massive cannon on the front. :D

Funny you should mention it . . . that's the GAU-8 Avenger, the gun the A-10 is built around.

Hmmm, does it come in a sholder(sp?) mount version? Bet it would have a little kick. LOL
