Wouldnt a cannon on a police helicopter solve a lot of
problems for law enforcement?

Excellent question! I've always thought they should put at least an
M-60
on
the police choppers. Would put a stop to the car chases real quick.

That sounds about right. If the police are going to use armed helos,
they need sufficient firepower. I would want at_least_an M60 turret
welded on the bottom of each one. Maybe an M1 turret would be better.
Or two. Can't have enough firepower.



Are you suggesting an AC-130 gunship??? 8-)

Maybe they could make a V-22 into a civilian AC-130.(Airwolf???)
Hover and shoot the crap out of fleeing autos,no more hi-speed chases.
They would only have to do it once or twice and televise the gun camera
video,the crooks would get the idea.
