Sava's gone full ******. Wow.

I love the jet fuel explosion theory. There probably isn't even enough kinetic energy in a .50 caliber bullet to ignite jet fuel.

Seriously, though, planes are actually hard to shoot down, and even if you do shoot them down, they aren't likely to just start tumbling out of the sky. You can take out both engines of a 737 and depending on the altitude and airspeed there's a decent chance that everyone will survive.

When the aircraft is at an altitude where it can be hit and damaged by a .50 round (that's pretty damn low by the way) taking out both engines would probably be catastrophic. But that's multiple one in a million shots.

That's why real .50 caliber AA guns are mounted, water-cooled, and fully automatic with an extremely high rate of fire. Even then they aren't very useful.

Compensating for something?

[Lonestar]

Yeah, my hybrid

[Lonestar]

(also it's a 9mm...hardly compensating)

[The Mad Monk]

That's a pretty slim profile.

[SlowwHand]

I have a Walther 9mm. I like it.

[Lonestar]

That's a pretty slim profile.

Thicker than my Glock, slimmer than my Beretta.

That's what my girlfriend said about me, in relation to her other beaus.

[ricketyclik]

Make sure you look after it. Use plenty of lubricant is my advice.

Nice!

I got my first handgun six weeks ago. M&P9, fullsize.

[ricketyclik]

I dunno, looks sorta plasticky and flimsy to me. Tolerances don't look to hot either.
