    Getting into a shootout while suspended from a giant fragile bag sounds like an intensely stupid idea.

      I mean yeah, but they were getting shot at regardless of whether they shot back or not seeing as they were there to reconnoitre and bomb stuff. But yeah apparently the dorsal guns couldn’t always be used because of leaking lift gas

        … was firing the guns causing the leaks? Or would firing the gun risk blowing yourself sky high?

        Or ground low, I suppose.

          The latter, unless the gunner is particularly incompetent. Hydrogen is just really difficult to contain
