Armed pilots?

[Tavingon]

Should pilots have personal weapons such as the enfield revolver or luger... Discuss

Maybe you could take pot shots when you're parachuting?

so has to give people an excuse to start shooting at chutes in online wars? nah...

also, a waste of devs time. and why should we have arms outside the plane, if we cnat have them inside?

I don't see why this would be needed. Also, I haven't really read of any German pilot carrying a side arm, that would be more an American 'thing' I believe.

But enlighten me if this wasn't the case

I think I must have read too many 'Commando' comics recently

Taking out aircraft with an AR-15 in a parachute would be sweet.

Maybe the co pilot in the Tiger moth should be armed with a 1928 thompson to fend off those pesky 109s

we could all meet in the air and bail thus starting our duels while parachuting down to the ground

Brings a new meaning to the term ('air war')

Should be optional

During the Battle of Britain, RAF fighter pilots were not issued with sidearms.
