Posted on 01/31/2005 2:42:50 PM PST by datura

I just found this over at Vampire Bat, did a search for it in here, and didn't find it. I know there are lots of posters in here who have never had the opportunity to see a Vulcan or other multi-barreled weapon fire - well, HERE IT IS!! Once you see this video you'll want to show it to everyone you can........Damn I wish we'd have had those machine guns in our units when I was in.

If you have a dial up connection, be patient. IT IS WORTH THE TIME TO DOWNLOAD THIS VIDEO!!!!

Great vid, thanks.

I saw some documentary or something (don't recall where) with more detail on the Spectre and gatlings.

There was a brief non-firing spin-up of the barrels, making a loud high pitched noise. When the firing actually began it wasn't anything like a normal automatic weapon, more like a crazy industrial sewing machine running at top speed, but noisier.

Anyway it was not the sound that you might expect to hear, but something much more alien and terrifying.

I've seen one close up and personal... amazing amount of brass being tossed around... the noise is more of a roar than a bang.

They worked great for clearing brush etc. :-)

Outstanding.

I helped mount them in the C130 gunships, back in the day.

Beautiful firepower.

Science & Technology


M1C1 Modular Combat Vehicle
(Proposals To Upgrade Mothballed M1 Abrams Tanks Into Active Duty Urban Infantry Support Platforms)

The M1C1 is a modified M1 (or M1A1 or M1A2) Abrams main battle tank platform. It contains nine unique improvements:
1. The 105mm M1 Cannon is replaced with the 20mm GAU-4 (or 30mm GAU-8) Cannon
2. The two M1 tank treads are replaced with four half tracks
3. The 4 man M1 tank crew is downsized to a 3 man M1C1 crew
4. Ammunition storage for 105mm shells is replaced by the integrated GAU-4
5. Two long-range anti-tank missiles (e.g. TOW, HellFire, etc.) are added to the M1C1
6. Two powerful external intercoms are added to communicate with nearby infantry
7. An incoming projectile detection system for locating enemy small arms fire is added
8. An electrically deployable, 387 inch long full body ghilli camouflage system is added
9. Infrared and laser jamming modules are added; laser detection units are added

The M1C1 is designed to be an A-10 infantry support fighter on the ground.
