"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment.

Really want these to be functional but I doubt they work on anything more than energy transference shocking the crap out of whatever they hit. Fun idea, cute marketing, nice home grown biz, but come on…… Shooting at motors and joints with powdered magnets hoping it gums them up? With a 9mm? At $2 a round? Just have someone sling some 00 buck at it
Let’s take a fun trip into plane history to the time when Porsche tried to make an aircraft engine. It started as their flat six from the 911 and evolved into one piggy, but high-tech mill. The project was active from the late 80’s but basically ignored after a couple years. In the later 00’s they gave up the type cert for the engine and basically said porsche was washing their hands of the whole thing. image
