 :lol I have a little bush suit I wear when hunting and shooting tape for hunting videos. If I was in that flak I'd not only have it buried deep in terrain but I'd be wearing my little tree suit. Each of the 8 0.50 guns on a P-47 fired 700 grn class bullets 29,000 fps with a rof of 800 rpm from each gun.

Great find on the pic BTW. :aok
