I think this might do the trick

I'm reasonably sure that a gun capable of piercing body armor from over thirty yards away would not be allowed on a pressurized aircraft.

Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :

Ya think?
I bet they carry them in pressurized military planes.

I also bet this might just possibly be a funny joke. Maybe.

I don't think the pressurization has much to do with it... did you see the Mythbusters episode on firing a gun in an airplane?

Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :

No, do tell

Posted by Zeugma (Member # 6636) on :

Firing a bullet through the fuselage isn't going to cause anything more than maybe a loud sucking noise. Even shooting a window isn't going to do much. You have to actually set off a large explosive device to cause the kind of explosive decompression you see in movies.

It was a pretty spectacular explosion, though.

Interesting.....
So give them the big guns!

Sith have no need of guns

That's just awful DE.

The ability to cause explosive decompression in an airplane is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
