Wanna know what a single .50 cal hit can do to the tail rotor of a hovering government helicopter, and what happens immediately afterward?

I’m a former chopper pilot so I have given this some thought.

The Barrett M82A1 .50 cal rifle is an equalizer if you get my drift.

It doesn’t take a 50 to bring down a chopper.

A bow and arrow with several hundred yards of fine kevlar and a small weight works fine. How long will a helicopter fly with locked controls?
