Can you make a jetpack out of guns?  This article answers the question.

I'm nervous about even seeing that question answered. I can easily imagine a certain gun organisation using it to say that Americans have a constitutional right to jetpacks. ;)

You can have my jetpack when you pry it from my lifeless charred remains.

Or, if you're into Voodoo, from your cold, undead hands. :) (OK, bad joke, I know....)

We're "adventurers". That's how we normally get things.

  There is another question that was not answered, what happens to all of the rounds? Do the ricochet up an hit the person? Do they interfere with the other rounds firing?


 But all in all I am very glad I am not the one to test this out.
