It's the same math as circle-strafing, just reversed. Since the plane is moving relative to you, it's the plane's transverse velocity against your rotation rate and accuracy.
Basically it's 2 questions:
- Can you turn your wrist faster than the plane can fly?
- Can you hold your hand extremely steady?
- pkaye 11y agoAt the typical distance and speed of a flying plane and size/angle of cockpit window and obstruction of nose, what is the arc-seconds of accuracy needed to target the window?

- JulianMorrison 11y agoBecause the laser has a very narrow beam, no, you can't hold it steady enough for a deliberate aim, but, you can end up wiggling it around enough over the targeted area, that one or more glints get in someone's eye, and a laser can harm an eye with an instant's exposure.
- ascorbic 11y agoI love the fact* that it is theoretically possible to move the dot from a laser pointer faster than the speed of light, as it carries no information. *Please correct me if I'm wrong. IANAP
