After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, Jim Yanik
blurted out:


Why would pilots be firing TOWARDS the windscreen? The attackers would be
coming from the REAR of the plane.Armed pilots would be firing
REARWARDS.They certainly aren't going to wait until the hijackers are fully
IN the cockpit.

Maybe the second or third islamist **** surging into the cockpit...

Maybe the FFDO pulls the trigger early when drawing the weapon out of
the holster...

**** happens.

Also,I've read that Sky Marshals use ordinary (premium)JHP ammo,as they
might have to penetrate a seatback or other barrier.
IIRC,the guns are .40 S&W caliber.

FAMs are using standard ammo, we were dicussing this today on the way
to SFO.

FFDOs are switching from Glocks to H&K .40
