Something I don't understand about G limit

[PLAAF]

Hi guys. There is something I don't understand about G limit. You see that R-40 missile and R-33 missile? Their G limit is only 5G. How can it hit anything??

 

Also the other day I found this website earlier:

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/surfacetoairmissile/hongqi2.asp

 

Notice this part, it says: "increasing the G limit to 1.5G from the original 1G".

 

!!!!! 1.5 G???!!! How can anyone get hit by a missile with 1.5 G limit. But it also says :"single-shot hit probability 73%". How??!!

 

Is there anything I don't know about G-limit???

Well, it can hit bombers at long ranges..that might be the purpose of those missiles.

Surely count on its 1,200 m/s speed ability...

With 1,5G max, it would need 80 seconds acceleration to get to 1200m/s?

now I am confused even more.

G also decide speed acceleration??

I thought G is for turn.

Depends on the specifications. If you say general g limit of the design is 1,5g, then it would limit also the acceleration I would say. But usually every axis has its own G-limit I would guess.
