Which is a good thing when you are firing with a wide group behind the target. Just put some hollow points in that thing and watch the bad things happen to bad people.

I would agree that 9mms are best, but they actually have a higher vellocity and thus deeper penitration than say a .45(Can you tell I have spent way too much time in police training?) I think for most airlines a small .22 pistol would work best/be safest.

.22??? Are you kidding? Minimum should be 9mm, .40 S&W would be ideal.

.22 has little if any practical value as an offensive/defensive caliber.

I understand that, but while the plane wont crash from a hole, the hole should still be as small as possable, and a .22 will do the job as long as the terrorist doesn't have body armor on. An FN fiveseven would probably be a good choice as well.

In reality they do make low velocity .45 and 9mm rounds that won't usually damage the aircraft very badly.

Mount one of those at the cock pit door a terrorist opens that thing and see that you probably wont even need to shoot it. Picture isnt showing up. Well it was a mini gun
