And most of those helicopters don't have a gun.

:anti-light armor weapon").

:Fred might want to look up the stats for the M3M - 1,100rpm and a
:600-round feed - before making bold, sweeping statements. Not every
:naval helicopter is a SH-60 and not every doorgun is a GAU-16.

Context, Paul. Remember that the context is the claim that a US
aircraft carrier scrambled "2 helicopters and 4 fighters" to intercept
a UAV. Every naval helicopter isn't an SH-60 and not every doorgun is
a GAU-16, but it's pretty much a given that NO Naval helicopter is a
Lynx and no Naval helicopter doorgun is an M3M.

Hint for Paul - Capitalization in this case matters, as does context.

:This MIGHT give him some clue about why
:our opinions about how to do this differ - but, knowing Paul, it
:probably won't.]
:
:Just confirms the narrowness of Fred's mind - if he doesn't think it's
ossible then it can't be done, regardless of whether it's actually
:happening or not.

Just confirms the dishonestly of Paul's mind - nothing he claims as my
attitude above has anything to do with anything I've said. In other
words, once again he lies.

One more time, Paul - context matters.
