I do like how the weapons systems of the F-22 works; its missiles/bombs are stored in the internal bays and it opens when it wants to fire (I'm guessing like how the missiles are fired from those nutty jets in the movie Stealth). It beats the old style of pylon-mounted weaponry where when you look at the wing of a jet fighter you see all these missiles, bombs, and fuel tanks protruding from it. With weapons hidden in internal bays, it's like a silent killer; you never know what's going to pop out of that jet once those bay doors open...
