I tried flying along side my wingman and shoot him in the head with the hand gun just for practice (I know this sounds bad, but I needed to practice). Anyway, it's really hard to do and that's for a guy who is not trying to evade me. I could imagine how hard it would be in combat. Im sure it was just as hard or harder in real life, but i was just wondering if anyone has done it in a mission against enemy AI or online? Rob

I ripped the fabric on the wing of a DFW by flying underneath it and unloading all my Webley ammo into it. (Still managed to shoot my own plane twice during the process.)

You're better shooting at the engine than the pilot. Causing a flamer with the pistol used to be easy but seems to be much harder with the DMV changes.

A guy in our squadron uses it to cap any gunners that hop on his plane and start shooting at his own plane or friendlies.
The road less traveled is filled with fewer needy people.

It is great fun and satisfying to use either in a pure rage situation or when you run out of ammo. Why can't you use handguns in the gunner stations 777?

Not wishing to sound morbid, but can it be used to put yourself out of your misery if your plane catches fire, or you have a long fall? Somebody said that you can - just that you have to do it by blasting away at your nuts.

Found that out the quick way a few days ago. After a particularly messy landing I was irate at my aircraft (my brother watched from the gunner seat) and I plugged my crate full of holes at random. At some point the screen went red and I said "I shot myself, let's stop now."

I haven't shot down another plane with the pistol as far as I know, but I have killed an idiot that took my gunner's seat and started shooting up my plane. (Panzer, it doesn't happen that often, but it does happen. You can lock the positions if you so choose. I just forgot that flight.)
Last night I was flying with some guys and we attacked an enemy airfield just at sundown as the mission was about to end. AA got my engine and I glided to a landing on the enemy field. I rolled to a stop near a flak truck and a gun emplacement. I took my pistol and set fire to the truck and took out the machine gunners.

Yeah, Spectre, the flares just bounce off the balloon.
