You have never been around a 50, have you?
I was a 0.50 gunner in the army.Not the sniper versions though,the old M2
on
an anti-aircraft mount.And i meant shooting at taxiing aircraft,not while
they're doing 300 kmph, in the air.But if close enough,it shouldn't be
"impossible" to hit a 747 during take off,or landing either - it is a HUGE
aircraft.
This thread has progressed from taking out an engine to hittinbg the broad
side of a barn, with a 50 cal. Even then, at one shot per pull, your
chances of hitting that barn at 3 miles a minute are poor.
