But what are the chances that a couple of bullet holes are going to severely damage the plane? Pretty close to zilch! Why would there be a fuel line anywhere close to a cockpit? It's a total cop out by the anti-gun idiots out there.

There is no need for the pilots to defend plane from the terrorists. Much simpler is to shoot the plane down.
