Terrorists Being Pwned (Slightly Graphic)

[Gracelander]

This is a video taken in the cockpit of an A-10 by the pilot and it
was a night view. What you see is from 9700 feet away (almost two
miles).

The four 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 un-harmed. 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 30 mm is 2430 feet per second

pwned

i used to shoot 25mm from the marine corps LAV bushmaster main gun. i felt good hitting a bigger target half that distance. but then the a 10 system is a bit more advanced than what i was working with 20 years ago.

and i like that the dog got away

Pretty nifty. Dudes got lit the **** up.

Lol at them getting shot with a second burst, because once wasn't enough.

[RyansRangers]

HOOOAH.... Gotta luv the warthog

[Toe Jam]

How were these confirmed as terrorists beforehand?

[MonkFan8]

lol, the dude in the back right puts down whatever he's holding just as the rounds start to hit them.

It's a cool video. I wish you would have just posted a link to it because it is in super slow mo in this thread.


EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently Google Chrome doesn't like it. It looks just fine in IE. Freakin' sweet vid.

I bet they wish they could have gone to Club Gitmo instead.

You can see the second guy on the left kinda duck like OH ****.

Too late, no virgins for him.

I do like the second round fired. Adds a nice emphasis.

Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

Wherever there's a Marine, you'll find this posted somewhere. So why not here.

How to survive a gunfight

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don't drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and deescalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4." (unless it begins with a 3 followed by 57 and Magnum)

If you truly understand and practice the above, you'll save thousands of dollars and untold time...and remember...you can always make more money but will never get back wasted time.

Truly amazing technology we have.
