Punch a few bullet holes in the nose or
wing of a jetliner that's landing or taking off. I know a couple of
locations that would be perfect, and escape without detection would be
trivial.

These days, in the metropolitan areas there are microphones on every
traffic-controlled intersection that can be used to triangulate the
report of the weapon to determine its location. Lasers don't make a
sound.

Cite? Tens of thousands of microphones connected to a central processing
facility? A gunshot going off a mile away from a controlled intersection
won't be heard over the traffic noise in most cases. Not to mention jet
aircraft noise. Response time will be forever.
