Axle, somewhere, I think in my Washington Arms Collectors Magazine I read a comment made by one of the Jap big shots who dreamed up attacking Pearl Harbor. Concerning the Jap ballons they hoped would start massive forest fires in Oregon and Washington. He said " we didn't want to send troops ashore because we knew the Americans had firearms and knew how to use them and would shoot back.
