I love the one of the B-25 in the butts @ night firing all 8 in the nose, 4 pack guns and the top twin .50's for a total of 14 firing forward "HEY! catch this"

I love shots like this. A while back I saw the one that someone mentioned of the P-61. But that was on my old computer and I can't find it now. :(

I'd love to see a 1-hour DVD where each of the most popular warbirds from WWII have their weaponry installed and ground tested. Imagine a forensic quality, HD video/audio production that allowed you to experience the differences in power, rate of fire, and general destructiveness of each setup. 8) Planes with dissimilar armament like the P-38 and the Bf-109 would be great a great study I think, as would some of the rarer German, Japanese, and Russian armament. It'd be great to finally get a sense of exactly what the pilots had a hold of when they pulled their trigger on the enemy.

GREAT IDEA!! I would definitely buy one. Even better, include the sights and sounds from the cockpit.
