fulcrum1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 So you'e saying that a 20mm won't do the same thing to the human body? Kills them dead, buts it's not as lethal as the 25mm and 30mm HEDP/HEI rounds. Terry Taliban has a stupid easy Madden '95 move to to negate the cannon on the Viper.

fulcrum1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 When all the planets align, PID is confirmed, the pillars met, that 2nd rate law school grad gives the thumbs up, and for whatever reason there happens to be a AC-130 up in the air for XCAS for that paticular hour or so, then that just may be an option. Wait, no, Terry Taliban heard the bird and ran back inside the mud hut. Maybe next time. All joking aside, its an awesome platform, but like Bone, Viper, and A-10 it has its limitations. Have to use the right tool for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I just figured since we are talking guns... The 105mm gets all the attention, but there is a reason why the ac-130s are now using the 30mm round. What do you think has been used more in the past few years?

11bee Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) 5.56? 7.62? 12.7? :whistle:/>/> The AC-130 has been equipped with M4's, M240's and M2's? Way kewl... I had no idea. On a totally unrelated note - please get rid of that .GIF attached to your sig. She (it?) is really creeping me out. Edited June 21, 2014 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kei Lau Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The U.S. House today approved the fiscal year 2015 Defense Appropriations bill on a bipartisan vote of 340-73. http://appropriations.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=385289 The US House of Representatives voted on 19 June to block a US Air Force proposal to retire the Fairchild Republic A-10 attack fighter next year. By approving the A-10 amendment filed by Representative Candice Miller by a 300-114 vote, the full membership of the House also thwarted a previous vote by the defence appropriations committee to retire the close air support specialist. Miller added the amendment to the House version of a $491 billion Fiscal 2015 defence appropriations bill, which members approved on 20 June by a 340-73 vote. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/us-house-approves-defence-spending-bill-blocks-a-10-400655/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TaiidanTomcat Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Dead...Alive...Dead...Alive...This melodrama is worse than Twilight. I'm hoping we can just keep stringing it along, year after year after year. Its better that way than looking long term the Great news is that everyone could come together to help the A-10 but not create anymore funding to keep it running. more mouths to feed, less money to do it.
