I have also had problems slowing the plane upon landing and miss not having brakes. I never thought to fire the guns as "Bobbysocks" suggests. A very interesting solution! However, as an ex-Air Force avionics technician working on jet fighters, this method of stopping may not prove popular with the ground crew. And remember it is the ground crew who makes sure that all of the nuts, bolts, etc. on your plane are tightened.
