I’m actually a little curious how screwy bullets fly when they’re shot perpendicular to a high speed. Door gunners on a chopper are the closest I can think of, but I’m not sure how accurate they are in general and I don’t know how less a 7.62 round would lose course vs a 9mm.
Edit: The guns on an AC-130 or any comparable craft would probably be moving faster, but from my vast military knowledge of Call of Duty, I know that the rounds they fire are even larger.
Did you know that Mythbusters tested whether or not an airplane would take off from a treadmill and came to the conclusion that a plane rlies on air speed and not ground speed?
The fuel tanks are in the wings on most planes, they’re not that hard to hit.
I would love to see you hit a flying plane, anywhere on the body at all, with a 9mm
Just be in a flying plane at the exact same speed and acceleration so that in your reference frame it becomes easy

If I was standing right at the end of the runway I’d quite fancy my chances.
But what if the runway was a treadmill?
Wait, we can haz hamster treadmill powered planes?
Planes take off at a given air speed, not ground speed, so that wouldn’t affect anything.
Did you not catch the reference, or are you dedicated to not having fun with this? 😆
I did see that myth busters episode, yes.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
