When there are numbers maned guns are great, they look good with their long flowing locks and they keep everybody on their toes and when somebody is good at them they can impinge on the obnoxiousness of the vulch fester's glee. The CV is basically sunk when spotted unless somebody knows there way around the 5".
If there is a "problem" it is when the dreaded low numbers occur and you can fly to a base and nobody is willing to take off but they are willing to "defend" their base by shooting at you with a maned gun. So basically you can get killed by an 88, you can bail, you can go onward to the next base where the same thing will happen or you can go back the way you came. Oh I forgot you can also try to deack the base. Oh Joy!
