Lawdy, this is going to be great. Myself....I would be happy just to have that rear gunners station on my front lawn; pew pewing everything that passed by

You'd have to fit it with gas and an ignition system for effect!

I never really appreciated how cramped the tail-gunner's spot really was: I'm not sure how tall you are, but that looks like I'd have trouble fitting in there when I was thin, and I'm not that big.
