For any of you war people

What is a flack cloud(I'm probably spelling it wrong though), and what does it do? I just watched Pearl Harbor again, and in the movie, and even on war shows and games I've seen and played, they have those. The best sight I've gotten of it is in the movie, it looks like a black cloud, the Japanese fired these long bullets out of a weird gun and it made black clouds that put a lot of "Flack" every where in the planes that bombed the Japanese back.

flack? I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you sure that you have the right word?

That's how it's pronounced. Could be flaque or something, but it was just used. Why, you were in a war?

Flack is Triple-A (anti-aircraft artillery) Upward shooting artillery that explodes when it reaches the right altitude. The explosion would send shrapnel into nearby planes in an attemp to damage them and bring them down.

:withstupid: It's basically a grenade that's shot upwards.

Stupid question, but everytime I make a decision, I get confused, are you a girl or boy? xD

I catch alot of flack from Dan, but I doubt it has anything to do with what you're talking about.
