Yes, absolutely. But one makes a terrific work atmosphere.

The others, a distraction, mere clickbait.

I like my women real........that can change a tire, or a water pump, or fish, or adore frogs and other creatures, or design and build a room addition, or doesn't pose with objects, or write technical procedures,
tik-tok.....? Pshaw

That can’t have been a lotta fun. A simple task, needing little instruction, just as well as they’re stone deaf.

That has to be a P47 Thunderbolt

4 heavy Brownings yes, but remaining wing looks awful stubby. Then again, P-47's had a HUGE diameter propeller, 13' 1-7/8”
The scene depicts possible origin of very emphatic phrase ".....the whole nine yards". Might not be, don't care, that is fine.
Means that to me.

Guessing the gun barrels are all the same length. Each gun is set a bit further back to allow the ammo to flow past them.

Yes, also to allow for the guns to be closer and also allows for better cooling. here's a link to a diagram (also shows why the wings looked so stubby...the guns are set quite far out:

I agree Toolmaker but P47 is the only fighter that I can think of that had four 50 cals in each wing. I miss the "Wings" series of American aviation. All we have now is so called reality programing which annoys the crap out of me.

sometimes reality is crap....for some more crap than others.
