Probably. Only we don't have any weapons that will reach you, so you might be lucky.

There's nothing much to know: the drums turn up on the back of a truck, they get wheeled out to the aircraft, you undo the bungs (both of them), you put the spear in the big hole and screw it tight, you poke the hose into your tank, you winda the handle and the fuel comes out.

Simple..
