Read first then watch. Ouch!

This is a video taken inside the cockpit of an A-10 by the pilot and it was a night view. What you see is from 9,700 feet away (almost two miles).The four known terrorists had no clue there was someone watching them from almost 2 miles away. The A-10 was using a 30 mm cannon WITHOUT injuring the dog nearby who escaped unharmed. You can see the gun camera shake a bit as the pilot fires; then count about 4 seconds for the rounds to travel 2 miles.

Every tenth round is a tracer, so the bullets you actually see are every tenth; they are getting hit with hundreds of rounds, but the dog is unscathed. Muzzle velocity on the 30mm is 2430 feet per second.

  2. The bullets got there before the sound did.. They didnt even hear it coming. Talk about accurancy from 2 miles away. If you notice the dog starts running before the bullets get there.

    See...you don't need those fancy-schmancy {expensive} Raptors. Nobody comes up off the ground to play with us in dogfights anyway. If you can dial that whoop-butt cannon in that precisely bring it in danger close everytime!!!

  8. That camera shot was from an Apache with a M230 Chain Gun, not an A-10 with a GAU-8 cannon. While both are 30mm, The M230 has a rate of fire of 625rpm, versus the GAU-8 at 3,900rpm. The sound of an M230 firing is like the sound you here on the video, versus a buzzing or "burping" sound you would here from an A-10 firing.

  9. I think 11:39 is correct...you wouldn't have gotten such captivating, amost still, footage unless the bird that was doing the shooting was in more of a "hover mode." I am in a place where I am not at liberty to listen with sound on right now {I'm surrounded by those confounded hippies}...but based on the video; that is probably correct. I am not sure an A-10 can be that precise-danger close for a 30 mm gun run at that altitude is usually at least 50-60 yards...

    BTW 11:38-many terrorists are now using mosques as troop bunkers and ammo dumps-YOU tell ME where the humanity is??

    AND BBTW: 11:01. This case apparently settled outside court...as a result I can't comment on specifics. ;)

  14. Humanity.....you want humanity.
    Please give me a break those rat bastards get what coming to them.
    Show humanity and recieve it back.
    In my opinion, humanity went out the window almost 8 years ago with them twards us. It is not the Job of the U.S. Military to pass judgment, for only god can do that, However they can arrange the meeting....

  17. The dog probably heard it due to their hearing being so much greater than ours.

  18. To 10:26

    Look lower. The dog ran when the first round we could see hit. Most likely it wasn't the first one that hit just that you can see.

    If you think that there's an ounce of truth to the phrase "The four known terrorists...", then you're a complete idiot. I'll bet they didn't even bother trying to identify the remains. I'll also bet that they weren't terrorists at all (using the dictionary definition of the word "terrorist", and not Bush's definition which basically includes anyone in Iraq who doesn't like the us).

    Your problem is that you actually believe the ridiculous stuff you read.

    "The four known terrorists..." Ha!

  21. SIGH,
    There remains those who do not believe there is any such thing as a "terrorist".

    TFB. As you bend over to kiss your very own arse good-bye, think, love.

    SIGH!
