Taking down a Huey with a Glock!?

[leemo1984@googlemail.com 51]

I remember the old thread from back in the day about a guy dropping a helo with a Makarov... But it never had a video... Well chaps... Here's a video of me dropping a Huey with a Glock!

actually seems legit

[GrumpyGat (DayZ) 497]

looks more like a missile was launched form the mountain side

I'm expecting a whole load of conspiracy theories on this one... :) There was no missile (at least to my knowledge) I was the only person firing at the helo... 

This is exactly how it played out at the time...

There was lag and the guy with the Glock had nothing to do with the crash.

I saw a puff of smoke from a nearby grassy knoll.

That could have been anything that took the chopper down and there was certainly some kind of lag related shenanigans....

Just for fun I wanna analyze this. I need a rough estimate of the height and distance that Huey is at so:

 

 

I'd say around 250 meters distance, around 100 meters altitude, so he would have had to aim at about 20-25 degrees. Normally the 250 meter figures would look something like this:

 

Damage = 550 blood

Time of flight = 0.85 sec

Drop = 7.5 feet

 

The gun has been fired at a somewhat steep angle, therefore gravity will slow the bullet down more than usual, but over this short time frame it shouldn't have too much effect on damage. Apparent drop will be less, maybe about 5 feet or so (too lazy to calculate with these angles and shit).

 

Hitting the helicopter is easy, but can the bullets kill a player, can they damage the helicopter parts, and can they penetrate the glass and metal? The way to test this is to create a magazine firing the same 9mm bullets at the reduced downrange velocity.

 

 

Findings...

 

The Takistani door gunner survived 3 direct headshots. Players are stronger...

 

There is a very slim chance of the bullet penetrating the glass or metal. I fired 20 shots point-blank at the side glass and the pilot sat unharmed. I tried the same on the front windshield and saw blood every few shots - but after passing through the glass, the bullets are so weak that the pilot was able to survive multiple headshots (at least 8 of them).

 

After firing over 60 shots into the helicopter glass, everything was still green.

10 shots directly into the engine put it in the yellow.

 

Disabling the tail rotor was possible in a mere 8-10 shots.

 

 

 

 

So the only way this is possible was if the OP made very lucky hits on an already damaged tail rotor.

Dude..... I think we can seriously all agree that was WAY over-analyzed.

 

My findings? The chopper was desynced as fuck and crashed... that Glock had nothing to do with the chopper going down.

Gews, are you in Forensics?  If not you have missed your calling.

[-Gews- 7443]

There's an idea eh?

[Inception. 9443]

Hmm.

 

Just desynch.

HAHA didnt laugh at all, however, if you have a different theory, give me some of that "shit you smoke"
