Ok folks, you're just gonna have to take my word for this (or not...screw you).
 
I was playing Team Death Match Express just now and was all alone at the edge of the map when an enemy Pave-Low was called in.  And in one of those "what the heck, i don't have many other options" sorta moments shot at the Pave-Low with my Scar-H "Noob Tube"
 
Anyways by sheer luck i scored a direct hit to the cock-pit and to my surprise, took it down instantly.  Is that even possible?  Perhaps i just went crazy? 
I know for a fact nobody else fired at it.... 
Thoughts? Suggestions? Railing accusations of lying?

You must have killed the pilot, obv.

i've seen this happen a few times.

Whenever I hear the phrase "Noob Tube", all I think of is that video podcast series on YouTube.

One man shot down a chopper with a rifle.
 

When officers converged on the area, the suspected shooter fired at a state police helicopter, rupturing its gas tank and forcing it to land

Yeah, no.

Isn't that what *someone* did in the campaign? You probably killed the pilot I guess.

Lies.

someone else maybe weakened  it a fuck load with gunfire on the way in?

You can destroy pave lows (also known as pablo) with semtex grenades-not by sticking them, by making them explode near to the pabl-I mean pave low.

Interesting. I wasn't able to do this with a Thumper a while back. Perhaps I wasn't using the right perk?
