Shoot it out of his hand?
For all the well meaning people that say “The cop should have shot him in the: Hand, Arm, Leg, his gun, His knife, His sword, etc.------ (as seen on marksmanship exhibitions)
I pose the same question in this context:
Why can’t all helicopter pilots fly like this?

as a former chopper driver over 6 k hrs and a retired 40 year police veteran i can say hte chopper in ral life can react that quickly due tpo teh power to weight ratio, the flexability of the rotor system adn well the thing would crash in real life on a full size chopper. it does look cool though. the trick shots well i always tell folks that is tv bs. i say that we are trainied shoot center mass. and if they still dont get it i invite them to go shoot with me, and they can try it under stress. havent had anyone take me up on it yet

OK guy. No more texting while driving a chopper through heavy turbulence.

I was going to say you couldn't fly like that in a real chopper because it would be impossible to see either the instruments or through the windshield with every square inch of the interior surface of the cockpit covered in puke from flying like that...

But.....
It's pretty amazing, even for a "model plane" flyer.

No doubt, I'm kind of surprised some of those manuevers are possible for a helicopter, even a toy...

People who say things like that are just showing their ignorance about weapons. If they had ever shot a handgun they would know better. And yet these are some of the same people who make up our gun laws; voting on something they know nothing about except the hype fed to them by the anti gun groups.

Besides, a shot through the brain pan is more cost effective. No hospital bills, no court appointed attorney, no jail time, no prison time.

Just make sure it is the one who would ride the chem trail train to the afterlife. Although, we are quite full of thugs right now, LOL.
Centre mass means less liable for the one the bullet reaches next, who is innocent.
Cool flying of a remote control chopper! Wowsers!
