A friend sent me this link that describes how a machine gun jetpack is theoretically possible. I thought it was extremely awesome and hilarious. Have a look.

I saw a jet-pack that has a machine gun mounted to it...never one made out of firearms.
This only proves that just because its possible on paper doesn't mean its actually possible.Comment

It might be possible, but surviving the trip is the tough part.Comment

Meh, that's just a low-rent Project Orion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project..._propulsion%29)
There is also an old SF book by Jerry Pournelle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David%27s_Spaceship) published in 1980 that uses this idea.
Not a new idea, but it's nice to see someone work out the math.
Also, this picture is awesome
