      No. I don’t know if I’d want to.

      Other than a spud gun – no!

      Military weapon systems are REALLY expensive and complicated. They take teams of people and quite a long time to design and build.

      ……..Maybe my next job will be working on a project like that…..

      Hello Branflakes,

      No, Ive never designed a weapon – Weapon design is the job of a ballistics engineer and designer. Im an aircraft engineer so my job is to fix the planes.
