Title: Pistol Kills
Post by: Golfer on March 24, 2005, 01:00:38 AM
I wound up bailing out tonight over A199.  Rummaged around on the field a while dodging FLAKs and making my way from cover to cover.  I took refuge in a FH in hopes of shooting an unsuspecting pilot trying to take off.  After hearing the FLAKs engines fire up and head my way, I booked down the hangar row until they stopped.  I peered around the corner and made a mad dash for the southwest rearm pad.  Upon reaching the pad, I observed a Lala Mc7 take the runway when I heard a voice.  It was Hitech.  He says "Remember, if you shoot the pilot twice...it should kill the airplane.  The first hit wounds him and the second kills him!"

Now it's a prophecy and I am on a mission from god the likes has not been seen since Elwood and Jake Blues.  I stand at attention, prepared to fire on any airplane ready to take the runway.  Next thing you know, an La7 ups.  I fire twice, scoring two hits.  The pilot aborts his takeoff so I have only hit him once.  I stand fast, awaiting the next victim.  A C-205 takes the runway, I take careful aim and cut loose.  BOOM!  An exlposion rocks the ground, I have scored a kill.  Six victims later, I expend my last round and have gone through all three magazines of .45 caliber ammunition.

I fall back to the rearm pad to await rescue, but the area is so hot a PBY cannot drop in to take me back to base to land my now total of 7 kills.  The submarine was hit by depth charges en route.  My squadmates cannot land, and wish me luck over my survival radio.  I don't even have a round left for my pistol, so I have to bludgen myself to death much like the monty python twit of the year race.  Sad.  Yet glad.

Ugh get that damn picture off of here.  That's me at 18 in my first apartment as the world's freshest freshman at Ohio State.  It's also a very heavily cropped picture because in the "Full" picture there is a nearly naked chickie doing our dishes.

On that note...an absolutely shameless plug for myself :D

Monty Python got me thinking. In the twit of the year race, an obstacle was to take the bra off a debutant.  Now that was funny, one was like a little kid high on sugar :rofl

Great story Golfer!

The pistols have become valuable weapons. A couple of guys defended a base the other night by bailing out over the town of a capped/vulched base and killing troops as they got near the map room.

I filmed it.  I wanted to try editing it with Fraps however I have Windows ME and it won't run.  I got such a kick out of it I'd like to make a nice little movie blurb.

Have you watched the film Golfer?  Last time I watched a pistol packin' pilot film, he was walking around with his hands in the air with an "I surrender" pose and .45 sounds ;)  Granted he smoked an M16 which which was too funny but the pilot kills would be great.

inspired by Golfers post, after I bailed from my burning wreck I went onto the field.

My arm is not as steady but I hit 3 pilots causing them to abort and killed 1 pilot before some cur turned the manned ack on me. I got it on film. Just wish I had the same patience in the air as on the ground:rolleyes:
