Shoot the gas tank, I'm sure it'll come down sooner or later..
If a cop managed shoot the gas tank on a flying plane, I wouldn't even be mad if I died in that crash
The fuel tanks are in the wings on most planes, they're not that hard to hit.
I would love to see you hit a flying plane, anywhere on the body at all, with a 9mm
Did you know, other people have planes as well?
True story, I even found one out in the woods hunting blackberries.
And they make very difficult targets when they are flying over 80m/s and half a kilometer in the air
So wait until they either land or take off.
Come on dude, this is basic stuff.
The entire premise of this conversation was about a plane mid-air lmao
The guy specified in flight, he never said where or how high it was flying.
They're not hard targets when they fly right over your house. Hell, if anything, I had to time my antbed explosions away from the time they'd fly.
Wait, wtf are antbed explosions?
Redneck pest control.
Damn, I couldn't have explained it any better than that even if I tried!
Well, ya know, if you play with fireworks and all, shit happens..
I only played the safe game though, like F these antbeds...
no man you don't get it, I could totally do it with a 22

F22?
Just be in a flying plane at the exact same speed and acceleration so that in your reference frame it becomes easy
I'm actually a little curious how screwy bullets fly when they're shot perpendicular to a high speed. Door gunners on a chopper are the closest I can think of, but I'm not sure how accurate they are in general and I don't know how less a 7.62 round would lose course vs a 9mm.
Edit: The guns on an AC-130 or any comparable craft would probably be moving faster, but from my vast military knowledge of Call of Duty, I know that the rounds they fire are even larger.
Cops have a LOT of rifles, not just hand guns. 🤷♂️
That doesn't change the fact that you're not going to hit an object going 125mph at 9000'
It absolutely does. Airplanes were being shot down in Vietnam with an SKS firing 7.62 rounds. Now, the question at that point would be do you want someone lobbing bullets into the sky so they can fall back down and potentially hurt someone or damage something? Absolutely not. But it's not only possible, it has been done before.
The planes dropping napalm were flying low, not damn near 2 miles up.
You can think you're john wick all you want, it's not fucking happening
You've put far too much time and effort into something nobody else is taking seriously.
Ah yes, the extensive time and effort of typing a handful of sentences
If I was standing right at the end of the runway I'd quite fancy my chances.
But what if the runway was a treadmill?
Wait, we can haz hamster treadmill powered planes?
Planes take off at a given air speed, not ground speed, so that wouldn't affect anything.
Did you not catch the reference, or are you dedicated to not having fun with this? 😆
I did see that myth busters episode, yes.
Did you know that Mythbusters tested whether or not an airplane would take off from a treadmill and came to the conclusion that a plane rlies on air speed and not ground speed?
I can't tell if you're joking or not
Oh I don't think it will be the police you need to worry about.
And I'm pretty sure even the smallest militaries have AA guns at this point.
You spelled drone wrong..
