Imagine if the pilot would have been armed. I would have gotten thru a locked door with my firearm.

And more.

No you wouldn't have. The doors were reconstructed after 9/11 to be impenetrable to small arms fire.

Well since we are now in fantasy land: :)

Unless the Captain was armed with a hand cannon or larger there still would be a risk of blowing up the aircraft controls and fly by wire systems. And with only minutes to kill or disable the co-pilot, how many hand cannon shots would it take to blow the door down?

“Imagine if the pilot would have been armed. I would have gotten thru a locked door with my firearm.”

A kill switch would have been far more effective. Every copilot needs to have a kill switch embedded, so the captain has full control, even if he is out of the cockpit.
