max cont,
It's good to see that your mentioned security agencies have provided the cockpit crews the training and guidance on defensive use of the crash axe.
Have you gotten any real training?
I for one am scared of sinking it into the head of my Captain on the backswing yet I read nothing about this from any of the anti gun crowd.
Your gun range examples don't apply much either. How many rounds have you seen fired from a seated postion at a simulated cockpit door 3 feet away? We aren't talking about hitting head looking around the mid-gally from the cockpit, we are talking about hitting a struggling human in the final stages of a successful door breech, one at a time.
If you want to play Medievel axe warrior, go ahead. I think the modern defense will be safer many miles from safety at 50W
