Blimps: a source of topping-up helium for the ballonets might be found as close as your neighborhood grocery store or dollar store, if they sell gift/get well balloons. One tank might not be much, but if you scavenge a couple of malls and shopping plazas, yuu could garner quite a reserve for replenishing gas lost by leakage/gunfire.

I remember seeing the Goodyear blimp several times, one time in 2001, it flew low over my house and scared my poor cats as it was going back to Akron from Pittsburgh. It covered the implosion of Three Rivers Stadium.
