DAMN, I NEVER GET TO SHOOT

Sorry its to expensive...

My weapon after I became a cook was a Heracles's hand held missile firing platform...All you had to, was put the missile in, take off the cover, point it and the heat sensors would go after the heat source of whatever you were shooting at hopefully a jet or something of that nature, the fore runner of today's stingers.

Anyway, I never got to shoot it...Each missile cost about $300,000 and they didn't want to waste them....Personally, now that I have had years to reflect, I think they were actually concerned that if we aimed wrong, the damn thing would come back at us and blow us up.
