Hi there !
I love that little gimmick with the handgun and bought it right away.

So has anyone out there the video proof of an (pure) aerial victory with the colt ? IŽd love to see that...

:-D

Me too!!!

Were there any confirmed handgun kills during WWI? I know they fought with handguns, rifles and shotguns in the beginning, but I can't recall if someone actually got shot down...

That reminds me of the scene in the Flyboy's movie where the pilot loops over his German ace foe from right to left side pulls a pistol and shoots the German pilot in the head! Yeah Hollywood... but it could of happened, Yes?

If I shoot down my own aircraft with the .45 does that count?

I shot myself in the crotch with the flare pistol. Didn't end well.

I ended up taking potshots at a H.P. O-400 in an online dogfight last night, having deadsticked onto the airfield after losing my Dr.1's engine, and finding the H.P. circling. I emptied a couple of clips in its general direction, and it crashed. Then again, seeing as I'd already set an engine on fire, and the flak was shooting at it too, it probably wasn't the Colt that did it... biggrin

Just drawing the handgun and shooting at the enemy is hilarious. Its worth the money for that.

I'd like the AI to use it sometimes.
