And then, before I can board the chopper that will take me to Nome, an argument with Aaron over the use of bomb aimer as opposed to bombardier.

By the way, BFG-9000 FOR THE WIN!

Guess it depends if your American or British. US sites say Bombadier. British say Bomb Aimer. Which of course means the latter is correct. Big Smile

There must be a 12-step program for this, somewhere.

Incorrigible! Aaron is already saying that once 500 is reached, it should be to infinity and beyond!

Whats the BFG 9000. I was thinking P 1500

From an old PC game called DOOM- "Big Freakin' Gun" - 9000 - one shot kills pretty much every enemy on the screen. 

Seriously the biggest number I can think of off the top of my head is the Mirage 2000. 

PS: Thanks SG, looks like we posted at the same time- the movie was very loosely based off the game. As much as you can base any movie off a game that involved no plot beyond shooting an endless stream of monsters.

Forgive me for possibly side tracking this thread, but I can't help wonder what the highest number used on military hardware might have been................Hmm

Thanks to that cursed Count to 500 thread started by Castelnuovo, all Aaron can do is blather on about the next number coming up! <stuffs cotton in ears, puts fishbowl over head, and tries to get back to editing>
