20mm cannon

 The real Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

I don't think there is many on this board that remembers 20mm cannon for sale which were mounted on a sled to be pulled into position. These cannon were for sale in "Detective Magazine" back in the late forties and early fifty's. They went for the exorbitant price of $100.00. When I was a kid I dreamed of owning one but now the funny part is when I was in the Airforce I was stationed on an "OQ" range where we taught Bomber Tail gunners. I must have installed hundreds of 20mm cannon in B-47 tail turrets. Sometimes dreams come partially true.

I think I'll stick with a .50 BMG.  The ammo is cheaper and no special paperwork is required.

I have room in the back 40 for a couple of each.  Anyone with an extra let me know and I will come get it.  Just to save you the trouble of doing anything.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.
