I originally read that the pilots would be limited in weapon type (no larger than 45cal. and ammo use, ie. sub-sonic and Glazer type slugs. Is this a fact? </font>

There 'aint nothin' much bigger than .45 cal. They certainly won't have .50 cal Desert Eagles! .45 is a
huge slug--and most .45 pistols would be inappropriate for use by minimally trained pilots. Also, "sub-sonic" does not automatically include or exclude Glaser-type ammo-- the type of slug (pre-fragmented, like glazer, etc.)
usually operate at sub-sonic speeds-- but don't have to. I'm sure the ammo will be specifically picked for minimum penetration-- so probably sub-sonic, probably .40 calibre.
