And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Two in the top turret. Two on each side anything up to 8 in the nose (or 4 .50 Cal.'s and a 3 inch cannon). + bombs, torpedo's, or napalm. They could sink a Destroyer in one pass. Those are AN/M2 Aircraft MG's that fire 1300 RPM. That's 18200 (eighteen thousand two hundred) RPM. The A-20's carried the same load. They could also carry massive ammo and gas loads. You think the A-10 is a bad ass? The A-10 has what? 350 rounds for that 30MM? Those had up to 1500 to 2000 rounds PER GUN. Those could carry our the same CAS mission, and stay on station most of the day if the target was within 100 miles of home. The Japanese lived in unholy terror of them.--Ray

DeleteNah, hate blisters seems fitting. :)
