  1. Well, that's what I was wondering as well, I just went with what the OP posted, which I think is actually a quote from the film: "This ship is equipped with a forward-mounted, twenty-millimeter electric cannon. Its six barrels are capable of firing four thousand rounds of ammunition per minute. And that, gentlemen, is one hell of a sh!t-storm in anybody's language!" I guess it wouldn’t impossible because the Cobras carried a 20mm and the Apaches carry a 30mm. I just bought myself a bolt action rifle that fires .50bmg and that is a big, angry round. I can’t imagine what a 20mm round on automatic would do to the side of a helicopter, armored or not. To put in perspective, here’s a size comparison: Left to right: 30mm (guess what's loaded in the Apache), 20mm Cobra and Blue Thunder, .50bmg (M2) and 5.56mm (standard AR pattern rifle) And not to sound like I’m continuing to trash on Airwolf, because I was a fan of Airwolf as well, but can a helicopters reach supersonic without tearing itself apart? They just don’t seem like they could handle the speed.
  2. Would the 20mm rounds from Blue Thunder penetrate whatever armour Airwolf was packing? I mean, that’s a big *uck-off round. What amount of armor would Airwolf have to have, and still be able to remain airborne? I don’t know a thing about helicopter dog fighting, if there even is such a thing, and yeah, I know Airwolf has the missiles (were they guided?), but I’m still a fan of Blue Thunder over Airwolf. BT just looks so much more bad-ass. It’s so ugly, it’s cool.
  3. My boy’s only 10 months old but I hope he’ll like Star Wars one day. He better, his name is Luke, I $hit you not, lol! My wife’s Japanese and she picked Luke (and Yamato for his middle name - no relation to Uchu Senkan Yamato, though I sing it to him all the time, lol!). Apparently, Luke was on the popular names list in Japan a few years ago believe it or not, and the wife never watched Star Wars at the time. Anyway, she wanted to name him Luke, so I made her watch all 6 films (yes, even the prequels) just to make sure she knew what she was getting him into. When he was about 4 months old
  4. Did the ETA-2 evolve into the tie fighter or something? There seem to be a few similarities. The Republic evolved into the empire, so I figure assets, even Jedi-used ones got folded into the galactic military?
