In daytime, y'all can save on the .50 BMG ($10/round) with the 7.62 ($0.6/round) hose from an M134D that is already available underwing, but that comes with increased risks of frag damage to the aircraft doing the intercept, a bit of distance is a good thing.
Heck, you could sell tickets to go plinking, lots a folks would take on that circus act!
