Tourist has my support in his mutterings: no aluminium death-tube driver ever has a valid response when it is pointed out that you all look the same on the end of a rescue hoist
As for back seat captains, we had the same issue in the ASW game, but it was never a problem that I came across. Except 2/3rds of the way across from the South Island to the North to spend a night ashore at RNZAF Ohakea when the boss didn't like the look of the swell and ordered a return to mother. He was the CO, but sitting in the back narrowed his view on what was important in life!
This thread title obviously confuses, since those of us who played would see it as a reference to "the" weapon, whereas I suspect it was intended to be about dropping "a" weapon? Thus a difference of replies depending on the mindset of the poster
