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

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’

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?
