Might be another urban legend but..

Come on, you can't finish a post with only passing half information on - what about minimum firing distance, surely they should have 'switched to guns' like they do in Topgun.

and do they really wear those gay "aviator" sunnies??

Top Gun is so full of inaccuracies it is barely credible, it is however one of my favourite movies of all time and I LOOOOOVE it! Maybe my ego is writing cheques my body can't cash, now what is it with me...?
There is such a thing as Automated Weapons Release and no, the pilot or the Tac officer do not need to verify the target before they fire, it is an AUTOMATIC system and designed so that the men on board can concentrate on other things, like the mission they were sent out to complete in the first place! Live firing exercises are normally for the practise of machine gun/cannon firing, dropping of unguided/cluster bombs or firing unguided missiles. The chances that any aircraft not on an operational sortie, ie. involved in a real war, was carrying radar/laser guided ordnance, is highly unlikely. This type of weaponry is prohibitively expensive so they don't just throw them around willy nilly. How does $1,000,000 for one Maverick AGM (air to ground missile) strike you? 500lb bombs on the other hand are relatively cheap at $10 - 20,000 each and put to shame any black market chinese fireworks I have ever seen! Six of us got bounced 4 feet off the bottom of shell crater we were hiding in when a bomb went in 'slick' from one of the Skyhawks and we had to dig it up and attach detonators to it to set the thing off. We were 300 metres away when it went off and it still felt like it was underneath me! BOoYYAAAA!!! It's fun being friends with the armourers....
Neka, no they don't wear those gay aviator sunnies on base, they are not standard issue uniform and therefore not allowed. What they choose to wear when they meet up with you at the Blue Oyster Bar later though is up to them...

That's more like it...

So, if Topgun is so wrong, does that mean Hotshots was close to the mark? You know you wanna make toast from an afterburner on a flight deck!
