Most movies use physics from an alternate universe. Bullets flash when
they
hit things (even wood!). People outrun shock waves from explosions.
The
MAC
10 holds an infinite amount of ammo. You can poison a whole airplane
by
contaminating the pressurization and/or the oxygen system.
Alternatively,
the airplane pressurization will keep a plane filled with air even
under
water. Small aircraft routinely outclimb and run into airliners.

As for Goldfinger, I suppose he *could* have hit the elevator and
jammed
it
when he was sucked out. But, really, why let the facts get in the way
of
a
good story?

An interesting take on the situation especially in light of the fact
that
there has been a case of a cabin window being shattered by engine debris
resulting in a PAX being blown out through that window.

The "Ballistics Profile" of the most powerful hand gun "Pales in
comparison/is infatisimal compared to that of debris from an "Uncontained
Engine Failure".

A .22 pales in comparison to a cannonball, yet both are deadly under the
right circumstances.

What bullets, if any, possess sufficient energy to penetrate an airliner
window and would that airliner window spider or would said bullet simply
leave a small hole? We already know that an adult PAX will, apparently, fit
through a typical airliner window.
