DO WANT!

[NinjaFluff]

I don't know how many of you are R/C fans...

I can't tell you how much I dearly want one of these:

I LOVE THE A-10!!! I want one of those things, SO BAD!

I've got a pile of rounds from a Warthog's main gun.

They're the size of waterbottles, it's quite impressive.

I'd love to get my hands on some of the rounds for that sucker. Any good places to look?

Just as a FYI Top Gun is the place every year where the best modelers compete to see whose plane looks and flies as close to the full-scale plane. It is a great event and the craftsmanship is unreal.

On another note NinjaFluff I'm a huge R/C fan. Here is an older pic of my planes. I have a couple more that are not in this picture.

Errr... I have no idea. Mine are live rounds obtained through what is likely illegal means. But you could check military surplus stores, they sometimes have dud rounds. Though, I'm not sure they make standard rounds for it, they might all be DU- I keep mine in a lead lined box after the first time I saw the cat sleeping on them.

I've seen some that are inert before... but I'm just astounded as to how you got DU rounds in the first place. I'd really love to hear that story, but it's probably one that shouldn't be told

Woodstock, those are some nice planes! All I've got so far is a Monster GT, but one day plan on expanding to helis and planes. Good times will be had!

Short Story: I'm a military brat that grew up with lots of military friends.
