Wanna hear a crazy and true story, Look it up! (Not sure if this is exact but very close)
A -MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER-- In WWII won it for downing many Japanese planes. However, one Dogfight his aircraft was hit so bad he was forced to bail out. In those days that meant jumping out of your plane. Well he jumped and opened the shoot, but a Japanese Zero tried to strafe him with machineguns and thought he killed the GI as he floated down. The GI was looking lifeless so the Zero circled him to confirm. As it circled him the GI opened up on the top of the Zero's canopy with his M1911A1. The plane went down and the Japanese pilot was found with one 45cal bullet in his head. More luck than anything but
