Bad night to be a terrorist

[spazzed]

Cope, no, it's not... I watch these all the time ...

Just looked.. odd.. for some reason, oh well

[Cope]

Oops,sorry.

[yeahthatsme]

how do you know those were terrorists? they might have just been muslims attending the mosque.

[Mango]

WOW! Amazeing video. I need to find a vid of the ol' Puff the Magic Dragon from Vietnam.

[spazzed]

Puff was quite the dragon, eh?

[rhetor22]

I was suprized to learn that they were doing the attacks from that plane.

Its amazing that its that accurate.

[Tunaman]

NEVER underestimate the power of the USA. :o

[mag-hatter]

that dude sure held the camera still

if you ask me, they dropped alot of bombs but didnt hit much did they? i know its harder than anything else out there, but they could have just called in artillery or something. i dont know ill shut up now.

[confedman75]

wow that video was kinda dumb/boring/fake? did any one else feel the same?

[oldsoldier]

Ah, that was real. army put it in chat the other nite. It is from a Spectre Gunship...a c141 with a 105 mm cannon out the side, and a 30 mm chain gun in the nose. "GE, we bring good things to life!"

How do they know those were terrorists? They go from non confirming targets to confirming so quickly how could they check? The gunner can't even see if he's chasing kids or women with what he's looking at either.

This just seems like too much blind faith in the military.

Why cant I see the video? All I get is sound. Any special codecs needeD? I have Nimo pack and all Windows MP updates.

well their not going to every mosque blowing up every one! they spend some time checking things out, im not saying they know EXACTLY who they are killing, but they have general idea that they SHOULD be bad guys.

Couple points:

Those weren't bombs, I think they were 105 howitzer rounds and 40mm high explosives

They probably had spotters on the ground calling the shots (aka: SEALs or whoever).

[HoppysMag]

yes

A the spectre/Spooky carries NO BOMBS, that is all 100% guns.

these are its armerments

AC-130H Spectre

two M61 20mm Vulcan cannons

one L60 40mm Bofors cannon

one M102 105mm howitzer


AC-130U Spooky

One 25mm GAU-12 Gatling gun
( just let you know this things capable of 1,800 rounds per minute, thats 30 rps)
one L60 40mm Bofors cannon

one M102 105mm cannon
( basicly, s field howitzer, larger than a Sherman tank,same size as a M60 MBT, to put into perspective the M1A2 Abram MBT is 120mm, thats the tank we use now for anyone who doesnt know)

they operate very rarely and only when it is impracticle to use other means. they use spotters ether on the ground or other means.

they both fly around 25,000 ft. the seals used them once or twice, they arnt exactaly seals style of play...how ever they may use the seals, know what i mean...

WOW! Amazeing video. I need to find a vid of the ol' Puff the Magic Dragon from Vietnam.

just so you know puff, spectre, spooky, are all the same, puff was the slang term for it.

from what i hear there was also a chinook with miniguns all down one side in vietnam but never seen any proof.

if any of my info is wrong please correct me.
