Tank [:)] Love the nic. So what "Tank" is your favorite? Also I read in a magazine the history of the modern AC130 gunship. I don't remember if the 7.62 was the first or second minigun used. Yes at first the early gunships were reachable by ground fire and some were shot down. They changed and went to a larger round and this helped solve the problem. If I remember right the current AC130s carry a minigun, a 40 mil, and a 75 or 105 howitzer. They showed a pic of one hovering and the tracers were just like a circle of fire falling from the sky. It was at night and made a cool pic. The early models had the minigun mounted on a wooden skid. Some of the people might remember the John Wayne (my hero and favorite actor) movie "The Green Berets". In the movie a U.S. base was overrun by the VC. The marines called in Puff. I read somewhere that Puff could put a shell every square inch the length of a football field in one pass. Pretty amazing isn't it? After a pass or two from Puff there were no more VC. Wonder where they all went? lol . Today the AC130s are an awsome weapon. As VSmith said fire from above. I have a t-shirt I bought that says, " G E . . . We bring good things to life. Then it has a pic of the minigun. Pretty funny stuff. At least I think so. Good luck with your paper. Email me anytime. See ya.
