Several years ago a local gun store had one of these for sale:

That would get the ducks and the Amtrac they drove in on.

Jeez, don't start these guys thinking. We'll see them shooting prairie dogs
with one if you plant the idea in their mind. g

BTW, I like the skiis and the comment about being pulled by reindeer. They
had a different idea about how to fight a war in Finland.

That's the second time I've seen a reference to the low muzzle velocity of
WWII-era 20mm guns. I didn't realize that. Apparently the Brit Hurricanes
and Spitfires that were stripped down and souped up to chase V-1 buzzbombs
tried 20mm guns but they had to get to close to the bomb to hit it, and
wound up flying through exploded debris if they hit the thing.
