When you absolutely, positively have to deny jihadists that visa, accept no substitutes.

#11  The Boeing Company (McDonnell Douglas) (formerly Hughes) M230 30mm automatic cannon is the heart of the AH-64A Apache/AH-64D Apache Longbow multi-role, multi-target Area Weapon Subsystem (AWS). The M230 fires U.S. and NATO Standard ADEN/DEFA 30mm ammunition.


Heh.

#10  God damn! Why couldn't they hear the rotor blades? Hey Zeus... they started out of range... and crept forward... I think this was the fabled 2 mile shot.

#8  The guy on the left looks like he's frantically trying to unpackage something when the cuisinart starts up. An RPG or SAM, possibly?

#7  It’s a video feed of an Apache wasting some terrorists.

What's notable is that the torn flesh is quite evident by the white IR signatures that fly away from the targets as they are hit. When one guy was hit, a large bright chunk went flying off - I suspect that might have been his head.

#2  I saw it on LGF yesterday. Absolutely riveting footage. (NOT for the weak of heart!) 30mm HE, huh? I was wondering what they were shooting. Wow, that's some hot stuff! Now I understand why they didn't seem to care much about accuracy - anything within 3 or 4 feet would do it, I guess!!!
