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

Sounds good. I'm going to bid on training them to operate the ammo loaders.

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.

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.

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