Subject: Cool clip !!! 30mm Gattling Test Fire
This is a pretty cool clip. Its a 30mm Gattling test fire against a brick wall. It would of been cool to see the damage the gun did in the end but amazing how fast these get fired off.
Bad time to be a terrorist for sure. Just one of the weapons employed by the American forces, the Apache Longbow attack helicopter. Specs follow:
A 30mm automatic Boeing M230 Chain Gun is located under the fuselage. It provides a rate of fire of 625 rounds per minute. The helicopter has capacity for up to 1,200 rounds of ammunition.
The AH-64D is armed with the Lockheed Martin/Boeing AGM-114D Longbow Hellfire air-to-surface missile which has a millimetre wave seeker, allowing the missile to perform in full fire and forget mode. Range is 8km to 12km. The Apache can be equipped with air-to-air missiles (Stinger, AIM-9 Sidewinder, Mistral and Sidearm) and the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS), formerly known as Hydra, family of guided and unguided 70mm rockets.
The Longbow Apache carries the combination of armaments chosen for the particular mission. In the close support role the helicopter carries I6 Hellfire missiles on four 4-rail launchers and four air-to-air missiles.
This is unbelievable. It is Kylie Minoque in concert wearing a very thin loose skirt and as she turns we all discover she is not wearing any underwear. The camera quickly changes its view but that split second was well worth it.

Yeah that apache video footage is awesome, what's 'as' scary is the commentary. The one poor ba***** gets the full whack and literally disintegrates, makes you wonder how this clip came to be in the public domain.
