Reply #219: Dude, you're totally off the mark here

I was responding to a guy that said the Apache is not armored. It is armored, is it not? "The base AH-64 was designed with crew survivability in mind featuring anti-missile systems, specialized cockpit crew protection in the form of Kevlar armor and bulletproof glass and a specially designed superstructure." http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=29.

I never said it is invincible. I did say there was no threat from anyone in the courtyard because the helicopters were about a kilometer away and nobody could hit them with small arms from the square. Do you seriously argue with that?

You seem trigger happy and scared. And yes, you would be wrong to shoot somebody unless they were within range of causing you serious harm. If they pull a handgun from 300 meters and don't even recognize you are there, you have very little to fear.
