Yes, machine guns can shoot down planes. They fire extremely fast and they also just enough bullets to take down aircraft. Machine guns have more bullets than any other weapons.

Machine guns can be used on vehicles like jeeps, ships, aircraft(airplanes), helicopters and even on military tanks. They can also be used on trucks as well. Machine guns barely fires hundreds of rounds to thousand of rounds in 1 minute. They are the World's fastest rapid firing weapons that can take out heavy armoured vehicles and rip bodies to shreds. Machine guns are also very deadly. They can kill without having to aim(they kill what ever is blocking them). They can also rip off protection vest at a very fast firing speed. Machine guns fire rounds(bullets) to blow aircraft right out of the sky by aiming right at them.

Can you run away from someone with a machine gun and not get hit?

Given the right set of circumstances, yes Depending on the weapons accuracy, the range they started firing and the firers skill, they could miss with the entire clip. This is especially true for smaller sub-machine guns that are hand-held, as the kickback will tend to make them fire up in the air.


How many bullets can a machine gun shoot at a time?

In all fully automatic machine gun designs, only one bullet can come out of the barrel at at a time, but the gun will continue to fire bullets as long as the trigger is held and the weapon still has ammunition.Rates of fire vary widely depending on the type of machine gun, with the slowest ones firing at about 200 rounds per minute, and the faster ones firing over 6,000 rounds per minute, at least as long as the supply of ammunition lasts. Note that the fastest conventional automatic weapons have multiple barrels and are the "Gatling gun" type of weapon. There are newer weapons around that have firing rates that dwarf those posted here, but they are not using standard cartridges as ammunition. These "metal storm" weapons stack bullets and charges (stacked rounds) in the back of a gun barrel, one on top of another. The rounds are fired electronically, and firing rates of hundreds of thousands of rounds per minute are easily achieved. A primary difference here is that each barrel in a multiple-barrel weapon of this type can send a round down range at the same time. All the rounds in multiple barrels can be fired in a mere fraction of a second, exhausting the ammunition supply. Anyone thinking about it would expect these guns to present a challenge when it comes to reloading them. Once all the rounds from a given setup were fired, more rounds have to be "stacked" in the back of the gun barrel(s). Though the military is looking into these weapons, the obvious limitation precludes broad deployment, at least in the immediate future.
