Sure hope you meant a .40cal. pistol as I would like to be around to see anyone be pistol wipped with a 40 mm. sure would have a lot of muscles to carry that monster and would look a bit big in the pants pocket.

[pakeha-boy]

Mate...I stand corrected......

What would have happened if there wasn't three off duty police officers on board? Who would have dealt with this prawn?

Or are we infact carrying sky police here in Australia?

A Captain is the law in the air or at sea and as such has complete power and responsibility to uphold our societys law, he/she may take any measures he/she deem neccessary to maintain the safety of his/her passengers and crew.

Last I heard that right was being removed from the Captain and given to Ground Crew, much like the jump seat .

Perhaps he was offended by having the biscuits chucked.

Cannot say toooo much, Biscuit Chucker you nailed it on the head on one of your first two attempts.

.40cal pistol would be out - ragerous firemarm to carry on the aircraft i.e the main reason is pressurization.

For Firearms, it would be either of the two, with me personally taking the second option hence the smaller easier to conceal.

These are small but got some major kick arse power behind. I gtg catchya

320

40 cal has similar ballistics to a .45...lots of energy transfer. 9mill will go straight through someone and the wall behind them...sad really, was a time when knowing this seemed important

Pressurisation is simply not a consideration...except on the movies.

[the wizard of auz]

.32 cal would be the better choice. knock the wind out of ya and wouldn't go through a wet shirt afterwards.
Hey ya Bendo dude, long time no see.
Stallie, keep ringing that dude, he's waiting.

[Skystar320]

you want something so when you discarge it and it hits somthing its stayes there! if you get what i mean .

Anyway can't add or i'll be in the sh***

[PLovett]

The answer lies in the ammunition. It can be designed to hit hard but stop quickly, preferably after mushrooming and causing fatal damage in the process.

[Myriad]

The facts of the VB flight were this;

SYD-PER
Pax was refused alcohol on board...
Pax smoked in aft toilet
Pax threatened staff and pax, shouting "...I'll kill everyone onboard".
Capt ordered the pax to be handcuffed.
At least 4 off duty NSW federal police onboard assisted in the arrest.
No diversion...Continued to PER.
Good job I say.

Never heard about it in the media, did anyone else? Type of story I thought they'd (media) would get all excited about.

Hope he got locked up anyway. Rowdy, disorderly, intoxicated, arrogant, loud passengers sh*t me!
