Default Since Discovery Wings...

...went to the Military Channel, I figured I would follow the lead and install weaponry in my wings! Is 7.62mm enough?

Should I go heavier?

A 50 caliber will slow you down too much. Stick with the 7.62X39 because amo is cheaper.

Perhaps a couple of 500 pounders hung under the wing would do the job. Maybe disguise them as travel pods?????? Hmmmmmm..

Default How about...

putting some rockets out on the wing tips? That should be an easy mod. Of course you coun't keep fuel out there as it might get just a bit bright when you light them off.
