What the hell are those guns on the plane?

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Since airplanes back then were a curious combination of flammable material traveling through high wind speed, I too would say that's a flare gun. A direct hit would be effective.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

The nearest one, if I had to guess, is probably a flare gun. The one in back, uh, maybe an MG14? I'm no firearms expert.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Certainly flares. You couldn't shoot a monster bullet/shell like that even if it was black powder.

Just once

I love the idea of going into battle with crazy fucking bright patterns on my war machine

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

That is terrifying. Fuck the plane, they should just send him out there in that suit.

I need this for maximum coziness in bed

With the warnings that come on heating pads, I'd be wary of that face one!

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

I've had failures in heated gloves... Ouch!

Do you think it's all quiet there?
