A 10 club

[plan_D]

I saw Jarhead yesterday, it is a good movie. But if those A-10s had really done that, all of those people would have been dead. Have you actually seen the destructive force of that cannon? Compare it to the splatters in the ground on Jarhead...

I got to see an A-10 tare up some people in some trucks in Iraq. Was really impressive. Wish I had my camara.

 

[syscom3]

"tear", not tare. Unless youre talking about the tare weight of the truck before and after being destroyed

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

LOL ooops type!

Have you actually seen the destructive force of that cannon?

Yes I have, and I can tell u that there is no way to recreate the destructive power of the GAU-8A short of actually finding the remnants of some destroyed vehicles.... We were able to identify hands, feet and shoes, and a couple of perforated helmets, thats it...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Good pic there. I too have seen it Les and it is rather amazing!

 

[Nonskimmer]

Heh. I wish I had one of those cannons mounted to my car sometimes.

 

[lesofprimus]

Hell, u better have a pretty big freakin car NS....

 

[Nonskimmer]

I'd have outriggers, a trailer for the ammo, the works.

I think they should adapt it and make it the standard infantry sidearm.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

LOL and then CC all of a sudden just evaporated!

Sorta like this guy CC???

 

[MacArther]

I want one of those to go gopher hunting!

 

[Glider]

And who is going to carry the ammo!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Nah les I was thinking larger, more like this... (ignore the M-60, I couldnt be bothered to edit it out )

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

LOL That is so funny, I could not even think of what to say about it. All I could do was laugh.

 

[P38 Pilot]

That gun in the A-10 sure can tear the hell out of almost anything!! A-10 kicks ass!

How about Beaver trappin?

I saw Jarhead and was pretty sure that the cannon effect was downplayed quite a bit. The one scene was pretty dang cool when they destroyed the air control tower with retarded bombs.
