==================

i'm surprised no one pointed out that the HAWK-800 mod doesn't need
batteries (why can i not help thinking of dr emmett brown when i say
that?).

more info - http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/

i'm not sure if you'll want to do the hawk mod just to get rid of the
backup battery, but it does add some other useful features too ;)

"Aerial bombardment is never proportionate, measured or
targeted. It evolves a logic of its own, an escalation
of horror similar to that unleashed by the terrorist.
Like all distant and indiscriminate violence, it breeds
a violent response. It is the dumbest weapon of war."
