Why no Cannons on Police Helicopters?
Wouldnt a cannon on a police helicopter solve a lot of problems for law enforcement? Is it possible to put a round right through the engine block of a suspect fleeing and stop them from killing innocents? Seems like that kind of accuracy is possible now isnt it? When those guys were robbing the bank in LA, seems like it would have been an easy shot to make from a helicopter even without a cannon. Whats up? public outcry or something? |

Wouldnt a cannon on a police helicopter solve a lot of
problems for law enforcement? I dont know if a cannon on a police chopper could solve any problems but in the past some tried to solve problems by using police choppers as bombers but ended up paying big settlements to the victims. (MOVE bombing in Philly) |

Wouldnt a cannon on a police helicopter solve a lot of
problems for law enforcement? Let's see, the average cop on the street can't hit a thing with a side arm unless he fires 10+ shots, and you want to give them a cannon ?

It never fails. Those who spit on the cops are members of the NRA or GOA.

I know exactly what I am talking about. The NRA types need to diss the
police to justify their need for weapons. They do it all the time. It makes the sane gun owners look bad. GOA types are worse. [GOA = Gone On Arrival] Jim Yanik wrote in message ...

That's hilarious,considering the NRA -runs- many police training programs,and many police are NRA members. IOW,you don't know what you're talking about. iespam (N329DF) wrote in message ...

Not consistently in the real world. And 20mm rounds that miss have a nasty tendency to go hit things and cause damage in places you don't want. Police forces have enough problems as it is ensuring rounds fired from their current array of small arms don't hit innocent people when a target is missed. tim gueguen 101867 |

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. |
