Amazing! Hitting a target in a moving airplane at several hundred
feet with a pistol! The odds are pretty slim. Military pilots call
that the "Golden BB". That one lucky small arms shot that, totally by
chance, ends up occupying the same area of space as the plane.

I dunno, I go shooting with a .44Mag revolver w/ 12" barrel and scope. A
Cessna at low level wouldn't be so hard to hit.



It'd be easier _without_ the scope.



Maybe, but most pistol scopes are pretty low power with a fairly large
FOV. I still think it would be difficult no matter what.


I dunno...I can hit a 12" pie plate at 100 yards with a 1911 with standard
sights. I doubt it's be that hard.
