I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
One reason for arming aircrew in the cold war was to guard the jet rather than fight off 3rd SA.
Arming a Nimrod crew with 9mm pistols was hardly going to scare a Sverdlovsk cruiser or capture an SSN.
I wrote up the case to put secure lockers in to the Nimrod to hold 4xSMG with 4 mags each purely for armed guarding. Fair old weight to be added down the back end. I left shortly after so don't know if it ever happened.

Makes sense I suppose, but surely aircraft protection could be done by a survival pistol! .357 Makes a bigger bang amongst other things. Plus, if I went down somewhere like Alaska or Africa i'd want something bigger than 9mil.
