True enough, but you will be jamming all the way to the ground!

So.... Where on that thing does one mount the mini guns? And how much power would it sap?

I was thinking about this last night and it would be sketchy (ok..  sketchier) to run one of these in Missoula this time of year.  We get fire bombers and assorted helicopters coming in low over town from drops just up the various canyons.  A jet pack would be a good way to end up a bug on one of their windshields!
