watch a video of an AC-130 gunship with it's laser targeted

The spookey footage has no laser ranging or targeting at all !...in fact if you watch and pay attention you will see that the gunner is leading the runners with the 105 like a duckhunter leads ducks...

That to me is what makes that footage so raw...the guy is lobbing 105 from the 130 with only optic sight overlay on a flir screen...

Chilling for sure...but nothing hi-tech when looking at the rubber meeting the road...FLIR screen with a cross hair overlay...and a POI crosshair...you can even hear the gunner say..."Shit...I lead him too much"...

PULL!

I can't get the gunship video to play.

I first went to DivX Players site and downloaded their stuff.

I then went to WinRar and downloaded that player.

Could my RealOne player be interfering?

Yeah, it's great. But my comment about an AC-130 was just referring to other footage I've seen watching it's laser guided guns blazing. I wasn't referring to the apache footage.
