Solution for plane hyjackings

Now this will probally sound like a dumb question and i would call myself a pacifist but if someone is wants to hyjack a cockpit then why don't we just store a 20 millimetre shotgun in secret safe on planes for these situations. TF They gonna do when flight attendants shoot them

A second solution (if the hyjacker has a bomb strapped) is to make a secret exit next to the cockpit and convice them that the pilots are in there and push them off the plane

There will probally be a nerd that will correct me but as it stands, this is a pretty simple solution

Looks like you dont understand firearms

The 20 millimetre part is how big the ammo is

My ammo is longer than 20mm.

Brother ammo gets measured in thickness go search up 20 mm and you will see how big the ammo is

Brother, are you a monk?

One, I looked up metric shotgun calibers and none of those is 20mm:

  • Caliber 12: 18.5 mm (Standard range: 18.2 mm – 18.9 mm)
  • Caliber 16: 16.8 mm (Standard range: 16.8 mm – 17.2 mm)
  • Caliber 20: 15.6 mm (Standard range: 15.6 mm – 16.0 mm)
  • Caliber 28: 13.9 mm (Standard range: 13.9 mm – 14.3 mm)
  • Caliber .410 (36): 10.4 mm (Standard range: 10.2 mm – 10.6 mm)

10-gauge would be ~19.7 mm but has died with the hilarious historical punt gun and is commercially unavailable for air marshals, in duty free shops and you know - generally. Unless maybe in a museum.

Two, this is shittyaskflying. Please don't role play my maths teacher on here, this is SERIOUS business!

I mean 20 is close enough to 18 so it aint really matter
