Judging based on how badly it’s bent it’s used as a persuasion device (hammer) when you don’t want to be within arms reach, like when dealing with explosive shells.

As you can see, it is strapped to the shelf with the shells, so its obviously a load bearing support beam to prevent the shelf from falling.

What ladder?

spoiler

(I hope people can see where I was headed with this… :-P)

Rangefinding.

For going down to pick up dropped ammunition.

That’s for when they get close to a WWF match.

For those occasions when someone orders the top shelf ammo.

Also there’s actually 3 ladders there. One pair of steps and two small standard ladders.

I suspect the standard ladders are shite. So they carry some battered steps to avoid having to use them.

For appeasing the green tentacled LOX monster that lives on the ceiling

I think that’s actually a step ladder

I think I have that ladder... if it's for the same thing I use it for, it's for sitting around being useless until I need to change a lightbulb in the kitchen.

For when Jackie Chan has to fight them.

To scale city walls

The need that to clean the ceiling fans.

The government signed a lucrative deal to a friend to buy 10 million ladders at at 1000 dollars a piece, so now each everyone gets a least one ladder to lug around. We gotta spend thoughs trillions some how. At least their friends and family to reap the benefits.

You never know when you’ll have to lay siege to a medieval castle.

And why are the men’s visors covered in duct tape?

Getting out of the plane and setting up the targets again.

brutally Beating up commies

They found it on the road, and Dan wanted to keep it, so they pulled over and he was like free ladder. Highway loot is the best.

Clearly that’s for gaining the high ground 🙄

Crown molding

Ah lads it’s obviously for the high explosive rounds

For when the toilet is clogged

So they can drop their shit from above into the cannon, and shoot it away

Very clean, as long as you don’t miss

WWE ladder smashes

In 1975, the RAND corporation did extensive studies using Chaos Theory and computer simulations. Their conclusion was that the Bay of Pigs would have succeeded under the Butterfly Effect of having a ladder on board every airplane larger than a twin-seater. Ladders have been required on board ever since.

kevin left the ladder there. he forgot his security access pass at home, therefore he needed a ladder carried on his shoulder when passing security check. this always works: guy with ladder, enters any building - no problem

Nothing right now, but if you throw it out the plane after the mission, but before the credits you get an extra cut scene at the end.

The crew lounge is at thirty-four thousand and “eight” feet.

So the short loader can reach the breach.

You have two ladders either side of the breach to stack shells in between them. When a shell has been fired, the breach opens, and Kentucky Billy Bobby jumps on the top of the stack to eject the previous casing and load another one.

Analy induced mastectomy.

For the wildest TLC Match the world has ever seen!
