The old rule of thumb.
Extend arm out, thumb up; like an artist.
If your thumb covers the aircraft, stay down, save your ammo.
If some meaty parts are NOT covered by your thumb, go for it!
They used to call it the silver bullet. A lucky shot to the right(wrong?) wire, hydraulic line, linkage...
NB: A .50 will go in one side and out the other on an APC!
As a fan of military history and weaponry, I can do nothing but CHUCKLE at claims like this.
The unsinkable battleship...
The impregnable fortress...
The unseen aircraft...
The unbeatable tank...
All in the ashbin of military history.
I’d like to try with my 22.
Wonder if their Achilles heel is the red-laser pointers, like our aircraft...isn’t that what the govt says (and will jail for)? /s
Helicopters don’t fly. The rotors beat the air into submission, allowing the earth to repel the helicopter’s ugliness.
