The most recent versions of the AC-130 have heavy machine guns and howtzer but can also launch hellfire missiles and there are even new specialiazed ports out of which the crew can drop very small missles with wings that flick out like a switchblade and are extremely accurate and have long-range, if launched from a very high (read here SAFE) altitude.

Why do idiots keeps saying that the armed platform HAD to be an AC-130...?
Someone tell me the answer to that.
