My wife won't let me have a girlfriend, but she didn't say anything about a MISTRESS!

The marine chicks were either insanely hot or extremely butch like.
Navy girls are ok but they usually get the Navy Issued *.
Army females are a mixed bag.

My marine buddies used to call this an 'air matress'.

She needs to call me. I think she likes BIG guns[:0]
I guess you like ..... Big 'Uns ???
(from Al Bundy)
[:D]
I know I do.
Did you notice they pipe the spent brass overboard? that sucks!!
The AC-130 has 2 miniguns, 2 25mm cannons, and 2 40mm cannons all pointing out of the left-hand side of the airplane. So the plane just circles the target (left hand turn) and all the guns can fire into a small area.
I saw an interview on TV where a pilot says that a one or two second burst will put at least one shell in every square foot of a football field sized target.
Anybody googled her name yet?
Camp Pendelton at Las Pulgas all the big ranges are right across the road from the barracks. But on the side away from where my room was. Heard that thing fire off. Ran to the other sideto see what was going on. They only made one pass.[:(] And I missed it.
As far a piping the brass out. At the rate that thing fires you would have one hell of mess and possible damage to the Aircraft.
Actually, she looks photo shopped in. Look at the sunlight on the rivets on the aircraft and on the gun. She would not be able to be that clearly lit unless it was a photo shop job.

Is it sick if you would rather have the mini gun more then the girl? If so I must be one real sick.[:D]

is a c-130 flying by at 120 knots really that effective at "crowd conrol" even with a mini gunAC130 haven't used Miniguns since the Vietnam days. They fly way too high for a 7.62 to be effective due to keyholing. 20mm is now the smallest caliber weapon on board.
Well with 6000 shots per minute, i.e. 100 shots per second...
A two second burst would give 200 fired shots.
A standard football field is what.... 360 feet by 160 feet... 57.600 sq.feet.
In short, you'd need more like 576 seconds - or 9 minutes 36 seconds to put one shot into every square foot of a football field with one of those.!

Lets just say they were using the Mini Guns. They would be firing 4 of them at the same time for a total of 12,000 RPM Still not one or 2 sec.
just looked it up the 20mm is X 2 for 12,000 rpm also.
Still, a chief/gunner like that would be easy on the eyes (but hard on a marriage if you were deployed with 'em)
53 gunner's window below... sliding window on the HH60 gave it away.
BTW, think the current AC-130 also mounts a 105 howitzer- and all armament has a rather precise fire control system.
Video for ya:
They were replaced about 1969 by the AC-119, the "Flying Boxcar" in gunship config.
Puff had shovels in the fuselage to move LARGE quantities of spent brass around, .50BMG,155, and 25mm from the Bushmasters; I saw the Air Force move a "squad" of 6 of these aircraft from Ft. Bliss. across White Sands, and into the Melrose Bombing Range one day, and got to follow them across the Organ Mts. N. of Las Cruces, across the Orogrande, 3 rivers, then Oscuro Bombing Ranges on the way to Melrose.
They looked kinda funny, with those big tubes sticking out the side of the plane.
