Do you think that the pilots can see the bullets whizzing by? Do you think
that they can hear the sound of shots while wearing headphones? Firing three
shots out in the wilderness makes sense...your suggestion is ludicruous.

1. Has any helicopter been shoot down during Katrina rescue attempt?
2. Has any helicopters returned with bullet holes? one bullet hole?

I'd say those people were shooting to get attention of the pilots.
When I was young, I was taught to shoot three times in the air if you
needed help.
