Cypress Sun Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Good Shot, No Doubt... I can believe it. ts I have heard this story over the years, I believe it. The stall speed of a Zero was marginally less than 60 knots or approximately 70 mph. Entirely possible with a 1911 and a hellava shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Solo Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Four shots. They had to go some place. If he didn't get the guy, the Zero driver would have come around for another pass. After all he was killing men floating down in parachutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm sure that it is possible! Try playing with a 1911 at 500yds. Blackfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I have seen alot of 1911's shot over the years and expected not to be wow-ed by this one. I was wrong. I am sure that Sam Colt, John Moses Browning and the pistol selection board of 1911 all smiled when this occurred (use your imagination). Most armed forces see pistols as badges of position. Only the USA (and possibly UK if you overlook the .38 Enfield) see the pistol as a viable offensive and defensive weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 "Bob Munden......How many takes, how much ammo did it take???" Hey it only took me three tries to cut a card. And I don't claim to be good. We've all done or seen incredibly lucky or good shots. If you're the witness, you claim dumb luck. If you're the shooter, you blow smoke off the barrel, reholster and say, "Yup, just like I planned it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hooker Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 In the comments at the bottom of the link page, a skeptic says, even if the pilot was found, after the crash, he'd be too beat up/burned to ID a cause of death. Yeah, a .45 hole in the skull would be a little hard to identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
