Bill for what it's worth - check out the Virtus. Much more flexible and capable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWJf_f2fzuA


Here is a good review on the Cry Havoc QRB system - http://www.thetruthaboutguns.c...w-cry-havoc-qrb-kit/

It's good in a pinch (like a downed pilot) but not a serious system for accuracy minded folks.

That would be an interesting new toy;beats the hell out of that Armalite "survival" .22.My dad flew a F-105 in Nam + all he had was a S+W 2".Moot point as they told them if you have to ditch,just fire off your rounds in the air so Charlie can find you.You won't make it in the jungle + tell them everything that you know,because you don't know anything.That's what he told me + have no reason not to believe him.

About time. They need to give something similar to transport and tanker aircrew as well. 300 yd range and 120 rounds will go a long way for those situations where E and E isn’t quite enough. A better choice might be a suppressed weapon.

But Grizzly brings up an excellent point. How does one go about finding their Martin-Baker rocket bucket after separation? Could be miles away depending on canopy opening altitude, winds, etc etc.

Confused

Seat kit is attached to the chute assembly and is released just before ground contact.
