in reality, fighters can travel near the edge of space, small arms fire cannot.

The plane body is relatively light, too, though it is extremely strong. The wing spars (the support structures inside the wings) are made of titanium, which is lighter and stronger than steel, and most of the skin is made of lightweight aluminum.

Is the glass canopy of a fighter jet bulletproof? The canopy of a fighter jet is not bullet-proof. The canopy is also shatter-proof to protect fighter pilots from flying objects, such as birds.

A bullet from the Sniper would just hit and maybe just injure the person in Passenger Seat. That’s all they might panic but no not enough to tear down an airplane especially in mid-air, Nevertheless yes injury may be severe but not up to the level.

If the bullet simply punctures the skin of an airplane, then it’s no big deal. The cabin of the airplane is pressurized, and the hole creates a small leak, but the pressurization system will compensate for it. A single hole, or even a few holes like this, will have no effect.

Certainly you could. A skilled marksman can shoot the pilot and co-pilot of an aircraft dead and cause it crash as result, especially upon takeoff or landing. Or if they were “lucky” they could hit a component or components inside of the craft that could cause a failure in flight.

Indeed, international law prohibits any use of armed force against a civil aircraft. This principle, which impedes the exercise of sovereignty in the airspace, protects passengers—but when the aircraft becomes a weapon used by terrorists, this change in status makes possible an armed response by the attacked state.

The windows on a modern airliner are actually made up of multiple layers, usually three, of acrylic with a plastic inner cover. Since the windows are essentially made from plexiglass, they aren’t bulletproof.

30 caliber, iow “small arms” caliber. Fired from the ground, a . 30 cal machine gun could be lethal to a low flying fighter. Rifles firing that same cartridge, aka a “Golden BB”, could occasionally hit a vital component, including of course the pilot, and bring down a plane,.

Yes, just aim for the tail or the pilot. (Even a stray article of clothing can get sucked into the tail rotor and down a chopper.) But the tail rotor is a small target, so you may be better off shooting at the cockpit, in the hope of disabling the pilot.

You can certainly shoot down a military helicopter with a machine gun, or even a rifle. But you would be foolish to target the rotor blades. Most bullets would pass without hitting anything, and critical damage would probably require two or more hits on the same rotor to weaken it enough to fail.

In addition to state laws, it is a federal crime to shoot at aircraft, including shooting at UAVs. Penalties can be as severe as 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Even the threat of shooting down an aircraft can get you five years in prison.

Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage. Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm. Please check with your airline for quantity limits for ammunition.

The enemy there was about as primitive as we are ever going to see, yet they were able to shoot down multiple U.S. military helicopters with AK-47 assault rifles, RPG bazookas, and possibly heavy machine guns mounted on pickup trucks (called “technicals”).

You can destroy the helicopter: TeardownGame.

How to damage the patrol helicopter in RUST. The patrol helicopter has a health pool of 10,000 hit points. You can slowly take it down by hitting its body, but this will take over 200 rounds from a weapon like the assault rifle. Its weak points are its two rotors, on the top rotor and the tail rotor.

You can shoot the NPCs on the side of the chinook but wont get anything out from it, you can also not shoot down the chinook but it can be destroyed sometime. The attack helicopter comes every 2-4 hours. If the helicopter sees a player, it will open fire.
