#1311 - Outside the building

The Harrier II attack aircraft used by the United States Marine Corps, officially known as the AV-8B Harrier II, does not have a built-in machine gun.

It uses the GAU-12, a 25mm five-barrel Gatling-type cannon, mounted in a GPU-5/A gun pod.

This type of machine gun is not used in air-to-air dogfights, but is specially designed for ground attacks. For example, the PGU-25 high-explosive incendiary (HEI) bomb it uses is very suitable for dealing with various lightly armored targets.

When Jack was still a half-military blind man wandering around some military forums in his previous life, he heard a saying, "Level the anti-aircraft guns and hold a military court."

On the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the M16 (quadruple-barreled Lao Gan Ma rifle) used by the U.S. military caused heavy casualties to the volunteer army.

This at least shows that using 12.7mm, or .50 caliber, heavy machine gun bullets to hit people is already a very cruel thing.

Although it wouldn't knock people flying far away like in movies and TV shows, the effect of Jack using a semi-automatic Barrett to shoot at the crowd on a tropical island had fully demonstrated the power of large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets.

Ammunition with a caliber exceeding 20mm is no longer called a bullet, but a shell. If coupled with a high rate of fire, the power will make the word "terror" seem too poor and pale.

The dozen or so terrorists on the 20th floor of the building had no idea what they were about to face. The gunshots from upstairs had obviously alerted them, but no one went up to check the situation without permission.

Their mission is to guard this floor and prevent the police from rushing in. Although the qualities of these guys vary, they are remarkable in terms of obedience and loyalty.

Noticing a strange engine whistling coming from outside the building, which did not sound like the kind produced by helicopter propellers, a guy with a plaid headscarf covering his face pushed the others to guard several staircases and elevator shafts, and he walked to the window with a telescope to observe outside.

A huge fighter plane slowly rose up, occupying the entire field of view in his telescope. The man with the plaid turban turned the focus knob left and right for a long time, and finally focused on Harry's murderous face.

Fortunately, this Harrier II attack aircraft was only using training bombs, otherwise not only this floor would be affected, but even the building where Jack was would probably catch fire.

Fortunately, except for the police and a group of fearless media personnel, almost all the citizens of Miami were fleeing out of the city. The large amount of glass fragments and construction debris falling from high altitudes only damaged several police cars but did not cause any innocent casualties.

Jack calmed himself and aimed his sniper rifle at the rooftop of the opposite building again. He soon found Helen, who had climbed up to the rooftop crane, and Aziz, who was chasing after her, through the scope.

As Jack pulled the trigger again, the bullet hit the crane beam with a "clang" sound. Aziz, who was about to raise his gun to shoot Helen, was frightened and shrank his neck, and the AKM in his hand fell out of his hand with a "clang" sound.

He was clearly at an altitude of nearly 100 meters, and there should be nothing below him. Hearing the sound, Aziz did not bother to look for the sniper who was shooting at him, but looked down in confusion.

"Help! Help!" Helen, who was hanging on the crane arm, was screaming for help. Aziz, who was less than ten meters away from her, closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

When he opened his eyes again, the thing that was hit by the AKM was still there. It was a blue-gray painted fighter plane, which was wobbling and rising vertically, getting closer and closer to the tower crane.

Harry pulled open the canopy and yelled to Helen, "Honey, jump down! Jump down quickly!"

"Help! Help!" Helen, who was almost having a mental breakdown due to fear of heights, was hugging the iron railing and shouting. At this time, she finally noticed something was wrong. When she lowered her head, she saw her man flying a fighter plane to save her.

"Harry?!"

Suddenly, bullets kept whizzing towards this side. It turned out that the terrorists' helicopter had taken off and flew around here. The terrorists in the cabin were firing guns at this side. The bullets hit the skin of the fighter plane and made bullet holes.

The cabin cover behind Harry was also broken. When he lowered his head to avoid it, he accidentally touched the joystick. The Harrier II spun on the spot, and the vertical tail rubbed against the crane arm.

Although the aircraft is older than Jack, it is still a tough military aircraft after all. A few bullets from an assault rifle do not pose much threat to it. A slight scratch will not directly knock off the vertical tail.

But the two people hanging on the tower crane's arm were in a miserable situation. The wildly swinging arm made them unstable at the same time, and they slipped and almost fell down.

But it is another matter for ordinary civilian helicopters to face the NATO standard caliber 7.62mm NATO bullets fired by SR25.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Gunshots continued to be heard from the rooftop of the opposite building. Jack emptied the magazine at the helicopter driven by the terrorists in one breath.

After replacing a magazine, he fired several more shots until the three terrorists in the cabin, including the pilot, were all motionless and the helicopter lost control and slowly fell to the ground. He then stopped.
