I've not seen a semi auto that could be fired - twice - from in an overcoat pocket either.

I do recall a Red Flag excercise at Nellis AFB in the 1980's. A bunch of "antiquated" Northrop F-5's armed with "simple" heat seeking missles merged with a couple of flights of technically superior F-15's armed with all their goodies. The F-5's ate the F-15's up. IIRC analysts scratched their heads wondering how inferior aircraft could get a shot at such high tech aircraft as the F-15.

Simple answer, it's the Indian not the arrow. YMMV. Void where prohibited ect ect.....
Well said. STOP READING, I'M GOING WAY OFF TOPIC: 18DAI: I/we supported F-5 Aggressor Squadron's in that time frame CONUS- Nellis and in conjunction with EWCAS out of Hurlbert; and, overseas at San Miguel Naval Communication Station woking with GCI's out of Wallace Air Station electronically engaging F-5's and others out of Clarke AB and off ships as part of the USAF Electronic Security Command. I was at Kadena when F-15's were delivered.
