>"We often discover bullet holes when the airships are brought to our hangar for maintenance," he said. "People shoot at them. Particularly in the country. We think it's kids, not urban warfare. We just patch it up and go."
So, how do YOU bring it down?
>>29590722
Nail
>>29590722
Use a bigger gun. Duh.
>>29590722
Ram a rented helicopter into it and escape via parachute
>>29590722
I will admit to shooting at it once.
No idea if I actually hit it or not.
>>29590722
.50 bmg straight into the engine
>>29590722
>We think it's kids, not urban warfare.
I'm not sure which is more amusing desu
live in La and see it all the time. It's pretty high up most of the time. When it gets too low the wind usually blows it aound so you'd need something pretty big to take it down. You wouldn't be able to do it with a convetional firearm. But I like seeing it and I'm sure the man who pilots it is very nice. I imagine him looking kinda like the captian of the titanic with a nice white bard. Maybe he's even got himself a nice CCW just incase of like...Zepplin pirates.
>>29590770
Oh, the humanity.....
>>29590782
Five bucks says its idiots thinking its a ufo.
If it ever shows up in my city I know a guy with a biplane...
>>29590788
HFS- i used to drive a motorcycle in LA and the ONLY time i refused to split lanes was when that fucker was airborne over the 405. People woukd gawk and drift across the lines. I'm amazed there weren't more wrecks the way people woukd stare. It was like they had never seen a fucking balloon before.
>>29590842
Does he have the requisite incendiary anti-zeppelin rounds for the air-cooled Vickers, is the question.
>>29590822
Erryboddih knows ya caint takedown a UFO widdout at leas a rockit and two handles of Wild Turkey.
>>29590847
Dude, tell me about it. When you're headed souith on the 405 near where it's parked and everyone is trying to fucking snapchat it to their friends and shit. RIP.
>>29590861
I have a nice collection of side view mirrors, well mounted on the wall of my garage, from my adventures there.
Large drone loaded with high explosives. Remote detonated right next to the gondola.

Wrong.
Kabar. Ultralight. Yuuuuuuuuuuge brass balls.

Finger to the pilot. Werd to ya muthah

My god could you imagine if this was a thing?
>Hi Tom I'm coming to you live from below what appears to be the worst get-away in the history of forever.
>>29590900
>imagine if this was a thing
I can.
And it was good.
>>29590722
They should just go full Kirov.
Might as well if people are gonna shoot at them.
>>29590722
Incendiary ammo.
>>29590722
In all seriousness, it's a pretty dick move to shoot at someone's property
>>29590966
Balloons are no longer made out of hydrogen from the 1910's family.
>rent/buy cropduster
>spend your summer or whatever weaponizing it
>give that baby some 20 mm cannons, maybe even a rocket or two on the belly
>also gonna need to give it a good engine to handle all the xtra weight
>wait til its above downtown LA
>shoot that fucker down
>just like in dah movie
>>29590722
Pull alongside with pic related and fire birdshot into it until it leaks enough helium to begin losing buoyancy.
But more importantly, what kind of monster would want to harm a dirigible?
>>29590734
>Bullets won't stop it, so a nail surely would.
>>29590778
It has two.
>>29590966

Reminds me of Archer
>>29591155
Also gotta get the engines, bring that sucker down. Use HE rounds too
>>29590929
I was gonna post the same thing bro. What a fantastic game.
>does shooting at it make it a lead zepplin?
Concentrated fire.
>>29590722
rifle grenades.

Synchronized volley of nuggetfire.
>>29591498
anon, this is fucking retaded...
but why am I laughing so hard, goddammit!
just like I did in GTA 5, get wanted level parachute onto blimp, snipe helicopters until enough stray bullets bring it down
>>29590722
A giant robot that hates commies.
>>29591174
Moonbeam city is better.
>>29591155
Or you could just rig the cropduster to spray napalm.
>>29590722
With another airship
>>29590722
Why would I? The man has a family and he's just doing his job of advertising. It's like asking how I would rob a semi.
>>29593097
This
Alright, Goodyear blimp usually flies at around 1,000-,1500 feet.
You could probably hit it with some hamas trash-can rockets.
>>29591498
You son of a bitch.
>>29591498
>>29592731
or you could just fly the cropduster into it and scream Allah Akbar
>>29590891
I would pay damn good money to see some pair of crazy assholes in a red triplane bail one guy out, in full WWI gear on live tv onto the top of the goodyear blimp and see him errol flyn his way down the side before pulling a chute and getting away
>>29590722
go home Black Sunday, you're drunk
my poppop flew in blimps over the Caribbean/Atlantic looking for German submarines during WWII. he said it was actually pretty difficult to bring down a blimp, partly because of the massive volume of helium held within the bags, and they carried tanks of helium on-board to alter their buoyancy . you would need to shoot a ridiculous number of holes in the thing to have a serious impact on it
>>29594988
>pic related, my poppop in 1943
>>29590722
Clearly rivals who do not approve of the message "ICE CUBE'S A PIMP" on the marquee.
>>29590929
Best game ever!
>>29593097
Well, alright then instead of bringing it down how would we commandeer it?
Send the crew out the door with parachutes and now we have our very own S/k/y base
>>29590722
Mutilpe .50 BMG rounds. It is an anti aircraft round after all.
>>29590722
It's slow moving, right?
RPG. Either go for a direct hit, or aim to lob it at maximum range to use it like flak.
>>29595664
>standard operating altitude
>1000-1500ft
>RPG hitting that at all
>the flack doing anything more than kill some birds maybe
I refuse to believe /k/ has fallen so far they don't know how an RPG functions.

Add you know what.
>>29590722
30mm explosive rounds.
and they ask me why on earth I'd ever browse /k/.
this thread. never change /k/
>>29590900
I have imagined it many times.
It's one of the things I want to do if I get to the point where I don't care about life anymore. The world needs new famous outlaws like Billy the Kid, and I think such people lie in the realm of airship piracy.

I'm sure the gummint has some mothballed somewhere you could probably pick up for a song... if you, uh, didn't mention the air pirate thing.
