19th squadron barely used their cannon spits, due to the unreliability of the early cannons. modelling the blood spatter effect on that would hardly be representative. maybe have different kinds depending on what caused it, but then it seems rather a redundant option if it would prohibit sales by pushing the certification up. the slumped crew works fine for determining if you've hit crew or not.
Hmm, .303's at the rate the brownings spat them could still do some messy damage.

But Oleg said, no gore, so maybe we shouldn't talk about it?
