What the hell are those guns on the plane?
- 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.
- 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.
  
  Certainly flares. You couldn't shoot a monster bullet/shell like that even if it was black powder.

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

Do you think it's all quiet there?
