Bold Fashion Choices--When Ammo Belts were Literal!
20 years ago...
I particularly like the use of ammo belts to make a partial skirt for Firefight.

So...presumably if you fell and landed on your "ammo skirt", you would probably explode?
Ammo isn’t nearly that volatile. There would have to be a direct impact and the back end of the round, where the primer is. That’s what the firing pin does to make it go off. Still, it is a problem. I’d be tempted to use my ammo too quickly, just to stop it from slapping the backs of my thighs.
Of more concern to me in this panel is the code names. These are all words that will actually come up on a battlefield. Imagine the confusion, when in the middle of noise and chaos, Firefight says, “Watch out for that booby trap!” or “Take out that rocket launcher!” There’s a reason fighter pilot call signs are silly and short.
