Maybe even auto laser-turrets for more epic-ness?

Since we have such a shitshow of a US government, can someone tell the new FAA person to add turrets to planes? Ya know, 'Murica 2nd Amendment and all… 👀

Surely, nothing will ever go wrong with this? Right?

    What’s the terminal velocity of a bullet? My guess is that it’s similar to the terminal velocity of a penny.

    In other words, raining bullets are highly unlikely to directly kill anyone (although they could still sting if they hit you, or chip your windshield).

    They could use ice bullets and solve that problem though….

      Terminal velocity is really only relevant for objects that go below terminal velocity and then start falling. Bullets famously come out of guns very fast, so fast they go into people.

      While air will slow the bullet down, tell that to the guy over over 2 miles away from Viacheslav Kovalskyi

      Now, bird shot ain’t sniper rounds, but the point stands.
