There kind of was one, the Saab B3LA/ A-38. When it was cancelled the project morphed into the AMX.

Ammunition only to be fitted to the aircraft using a cheap Allen key and a slot-head screwdriver. May drop on the floor five or six times before you get it to stick properly, and can be a bit wobbly on occasion even when correctly fitted.

Pdf,

Not sure if they've changed it in intervening years, but IIRC only one tool was needed to fill a loader, and that was a socket wrench.

Which occasionally doubled as a hammer.

Not that I would know anything about that.

At least you didn't use a screwdriver as a hammer.

I was an electronic technician / help desk support / flunky, I won't go into what I used for a hammer.
