MacDill Air Force Base Air Fest 2010
MacDill Air Force Base Air Fest 2010.
The business end of an AC-130U Spooky II's General Dynamics GAU-12/U Equalizer five-barrel 25 mm Gatling Gun-style rotary cannon. If that isn't enough to terrify you then you're not capable of being frightened. It's unloaded and I still didn't want to stand in front of it. This cannon fires about sixty-five PGU-38 HEI rounds per second. Per second. Somewhere around four thousand rounds per minute. These rounds weigh about 8 ounces each and they're as long as your hand. And you know...they pierce armor and explode 'n stuff. All while the AC-130 gunship is orbiting way up in the sky somewhere ostensibly minding its own business. If you ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a Jackson Pollock painting this is the tool for the job.
