Used toilet paper would have worked even better. They never go all the way with these ideas.

We got a winner and a case of Clean sanitary tissues to you to fling in your opponts face in the MA.

Story goes the navigators would use flare pistols , Tommy guns and wads of tissue sheets to answer the challenge.

There's a big propeller infront driven by 1500-2000HP - then you really get to see what happens when "the **** hits the fan".

The gunner would have to stand on his seat, turn around and lower his pants. Do you know the temperature at 20kft? I hope he's got furry balls.
Be practical man!
