I don't even remember how many rounds per SECOND that beast fires, but I do remember hearing that the gun has such a ferocious kick that if the plane had unlimited ammo, it could actually force itself to a hover by simply holding the trigger down long enough.
3900 30MM depleted uranium rounds per sec. The shells are the size of small milk bottles. The entire gun unit is bigger than a VW Beetle. It fills half the fuselage and is responsible for 1/3 the planes weight if no bombs or missiles are attached.
The A-10 Thunderbolt, commonly called the Warthog because that plane is fugly beyond all reason, was conceived as such. "Holy fuck we have a big gun." "Hey Hoss! Let's make it fly!" "AW YEAH!" And so it was.
Un-american? Are you talking about fighter jets like the F-14, F-18, and F-22? This plane was not supposed to be a fighter. Not even close. IT's an attack plane, which means it's a tank buster. IT's the successor of the A-6 intruder, the most successful close air suport plane used in the vietnam war. That's the one that dropped napalm on the guy in that mel gibson movie if memory serves.
Awesome plane with an awesome gun. Its a GAU-8 30mm gattling gun made by GE. Hunter was right in that the powers that were say a great gun and wantd to build a plane around it. The A-10 was designed to counter the Soviet armor swarm that the US expected across the Fulda Gap. It was chepaer to build a plane than to build a tank plus the airplane approach took advantage of Soviet armor design that had thinner armor on top. Also has a titanium tub surrounding the pilot for great protection plus it can take one hell of a beating and still make it home. Okay, I'm done.
Designed to keep flying even without 1 engine and half a wing gone. Apparently this was the aircraft most dreaded by the Iraqis in the first Gulf War as they could barely hear it approaching thanks to its turbofans. "Silent Thunder."
I remember an interview with a 'hog pilot who had his wing shot through. The engine spat out the debris and ran fine even though he was looking at his landing gear through the wing. Not only that, these planes turn on a dime. When you watch them meander through the sky, you think they're just big slow clumsy machines. Then they peel off at what looks like a right angle and you know why we win every war we go into when it comes down to army vs army in a traditional battlefield. It's why nobody plays by the rules anymore.
Most fighter aircraft have their nose gears centered...the warthog's nose gear had to be designed off center to be able to handle that big ass cannon...that sounds friggin sick!
This gun fires not only fires that fast, but the shells are giant. Whoever said they were the size of a small milk carton wasnt kidding. I used to have a hollow shell with the bullet in it (so all of it, except the powder), and this thing was HUGE! lots of explosive power with all that powder in a milk carton-sized shell. Its called the tank buster, because it was designed to take out a tank, not infantry.
But you turn infantry into paste with a single tap on the trigger. If you were to put a dine on a football field and strafe the field, not only would the dime be obliterated, but the entire field would look like all of WWII was reenacted in about two seconds flat. Minus the nukes.
Thats a scary gun. Man, if we tried just for one day to focus all our intelligence and resources on building positive toys to benefit humanity and not cause as much destruction as possible I bet we'd build a utopia. Mother Earth, (are living spaceship) should and could be paradise for every single human being. But because of fear propagated by fearful dogmas and all the other useless emotions that stem from fear, 90% of our brothers and sisters are completely asleep as to what life is really about and having a pretty shitty experience of this collective hallucination we call life. It's pathetic, static evolution because of stupidity. The Gaian mind is fast becoming aware of this virus with shoes called humanity infesting it's body, it won't tolerate our ignorance for much longer. It's time to take the power back from the military industrial complexes of the world, from the bankers and corporations. It's time to pull together, get ready to leave the Earth womb and shoot for the stars as advanced evolved and enlightened beings.

Comments to Warthog
Holy fucking gattling gun batman.
i think it fires at 40-45 allies a second. ladies and gentlemen, the warthog, the single most used weapon of friendly fire in the middle east
Jesus Christ Bananas! That sound is AWESOME!

The gun has to be fired in bursts, because if it fires for too long the heat fuses the barrels and makes happy explosions.
I spray chicks faces faster than that piece of shit
3,900 rounds per minute (50 rounds per second during the first second followed by 70 rounds per second).
...someone just had their day ruined.
if jesus flew, this would be his craft

BUt yet it's still the most un-american style plane in use.

Fires 6,000 rounds per minute i think, that's a bad fuckin gun.
Daaaamn, awesome gun.
HIDE THE AMMO!!!! CHENY'S COMING!!!
I would rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride with Ted Kennedy.
Somebody find a clip of that thing at night with tracer ammo.
is there one?
It was designed to knock out Soviet tanks using deplete uranium rounds.

That would be an awesome weapon to use against black rioters.
yeah go ahead.. make a racist argument about it..
Nah- too easy.
it just hit me.. where is the mucho logo? didn't we always put one in every vid?

Man, I'm getting one of those guns for my car. It will com in handy in traffic jams and when police try to pull me over.
So you would have two? One pointing forward and one backward?
id stick one up your assmonkey fuck and fuck you with it and pull the trigger you mongoloid retard.
Not on the first date you won't, asshole.
