Clearly, .....shot density is the name of the game. ....yeow .

[lebbeus]

the craziest gun I've ever fired was an MP-5…can't imagine the rush from one of those gatlings…

[deadalvs]

hmm... i guess it must be a strange feeling...

but i liked it in the game Turok on my N64...

... hehe, and we all remember (positively) the scene in predator

My younger brother served on the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier...he said they have these:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 9985392214

...they're called CIWS (Close-In Weapons System, pronounced 'sea-whiz'), and they have one in the front of the ship, and one in the back. Apparently, they radar-lock and track anything in thier range that moves...he told me the Navy pilots he talked to said they never get used to being tracked as they're landing (pretty understandable ). The ones on his ship were 30mm, and fire between 4000 and 6000 rpm...

[deadalvs]

well, indeed understandable.... !!


and again we could go to the discussion if weapons are able to save world peace by their threat ...

there'll be a time where such guns shoot atomic bombs...

That is thoroughly ridiculous ----- it's like a chainsaw in the sky. ... oh man

[lebbeus]

some of the guns in the videos are shooting depleted uranium rounds, which apparently combust on impact…not quite Little Boy or Fat Man but apparently the dust is also lethal

it's kind of creepy how that thing moves…

[JDHill]

No doubt...but he said they really help to make the crew feel safe from missiles and such. I wonder why.

[deadalvs]

missiles ... or torpedos ...

well ...

[michaelplogue]

Yes.. But when you put miniguns (gatling guns) along with a mini howitzer cannon on a modified C-130....... OH YEA!
