“If youre faster than a speeding bullet, maybe you shouldnt be firing forwards?”
In straight and level flight, perhaps, but Colonel Phil “Hands” Handley achieved a super sonic air-to-air gun kill in his F-4 during the Vietnam War.
“firing in a very high G turn?”
Hands was in a high-G turn, Mach 1.2

Sadly, Hands passed about a month ago. True conservative patriot and hero. . .and published commentator on national security issues. . .
I was lucky to be a close friend of his. He will be missed.
