Pretty scary to shoot at--especially if you manage to set of a ton of
high explosive right in front of you.

Hardly scarier than shooting at a bomber with 3 to 6 tons (or more) of
explosives on board.

And, unlike a V-1, the bomber can shoot back.

Cheers and all,


Like everything else in war, you are not supposed to like it , you are just
supposed to do it .If it belongs to the enemy, you kill it.
