"A smoking plane is a sign of a good cook"

...forgot to add this but after looking at the info at the link posted above I really find it interesting to note the "time of fire" or duration of fire for each weapon! Look at the differences from plane model to model and it may help you stay alive knowing that you have those few extra seconds of ammo. It also makes you realize that ammo conservation is VERY important considering that none of these guns are going to let you shoot "John Wayne" style..meaning forever!!
