40mm belt fed grenade launcher!
😉
Could it use high angles of attack? I'm not super versed on the ammunition nor the system.
Or did you rather just blow through walls.
If I needed it to come down, or I needed it to stop moving, it worked flawlessly!
High angles of attack were limited by the gimbal but I’d say high angle not safe due to clutch arming mechanisms.
Probably.
But for those things we couldn’t reach, we had several other more specialized and effective tools!
" clutch arming mechanisms." elaborate?
AGLs are basically the new HMGs in my experience.
I'd be surprised to see M2s still running 20 years from now.
Already being replaced!

Three barrels of freedom at the ready!
Have they been slapped on UH60s yet?
Triple barreled rotary 50cal chain gun.
I believe so!

Did you know this before your show last night?
Didn't they originally use that on Cobras and Apaches?
It looks familiar.
No, cobras and apaches use a 300mm Vulcan.
30mm*
Lol 300mm cannon on an attack chopper???? Yes please!
Lmao.
I'm pretty sure that'd interfere with the flight.
How to do a flip in a helicopter.
I’m pretty sure that is 4 inches shy of the main deck guns on Mighty Mo!
Not to mention I presume a lot of helicopters would just start falling apart after shooting it.
@Maw no problem, you just have the gun counteract the rotor
Lol use them to turn the rotor...
The concussive force of it would likely tear the rotors.
Oops I'm in the wrong room I think..sorry
Let’s be honest, the recoil from that would probably sheer the fuselage in two.
That too.
Would have to be a free floating system.
And even then.
It would likely blow out the glass in any current cockpit. I'm pretty sure they don't use bulletproof glass. It might be more resistant to concussive forces, but we're talking about basically a C4 charge at the tip of the barrel.
It's 120mm cannons on the AC-130 yea?
Like akin to the Abrams main gun.
