I suppose if you really want the real deal, but how real do you need to get. Perhaps it needs rocket rails too. isc

Garth Hogan's Kittyhawk was first fitted with live .50 cals at Warbirds over Wanaka 2008. Only firing blanks of course. I remember thinking how relatively innocuous the sound of them firing was. Maybe real ammo is a lot louder, but standing in front to experience it would not be wise.
I thought I was going to score an expended cartridge case afterwards as a memento but the cleanup crew were too thorough...

Don't worry,the next round(!) of blanks are being tweaked to provide more snap,crackle,pop(bang) . |
