PLEASE

The French bought such a gun off of us a long time ago. They were horrified when the first chicken shot out of it smashed through their test windscreen and made a huge dent in the back cabin wall. (Full scale mockup test.) They asked if this was normal, our techies told them: "Thaw the chicken first."

Tell me this is true!

It was related to me by a guy in the aircraft industry.
If it's true, he'd know.
But I related it somewhat as a joke.
If it's true, I wouldn't doubt it.
