The question of why the pilot doesn't appear to take evasive action often comes up when viewing gun camera footage and there are several factors to consider in this regard First of all these cameras usually captured film at a relatively high frame rate, for example the US AN-N6 camera had three selectable frame rates, 16, 32 and 64 frames per second and usually the middle speed was selected A typical playback rate is 24 frames per second when such films are digitized so one would be viewing it at 75% real time in that case, basically the action is actually happening faster than what one can see on screen Below is an example of US Navy gun camera footage first as digitized and with playback speed corrected to be closer to real time This indicates that in reality the pilot being targeted would in fact not have had a lot of time react before it was too late
