I don't know I follow everything Minus is trying to say but I was shot down the other night and while in the chute I had a guy try and gun me down.   His plane ran into my chute and his plane turned into such a beautiful fireball.    Guess I had chute made out of steel LOL.    The guy fired at least a 2 second burst before he exploded.   My chute should of been torn to shreds and maybe some damage to the plane, but exploding, I don't think so.
