AWESOME, Duke!

In my mind's eye, I can almost feel what it's like to ride in something like that.

Got any more?

On a slightly related note, here is a good movie of some gatling gun footage. Major firepower!!

I just forwarded that to our Falcon Team. We have 10 UH-1H Hueys that we fly here and that video is awesome!

Thanks!

For all you metal heads, the song in that video is "Fight Fire With Fire", by metallica. IIRC, It's track 5 off of their 2nd album "Ride the Lightning"

Just think, the tracer round is only every 4th or 7th round, there are many more rounds your not seeing.

Some of that video is from Monster Garage when Jesse James destroyed a failed project RX-7 dune car.

You're welcome!

That's what i was thinking.

I have a buddy in the marines, and I remember him telling me about the tracer round every few shots.

That thing looks like it's shooting straight tracers! I can't even imagine what kind of rate of fire that is. And then think about the size of the bullet!

Amazing.
