Boomstick's and shooty shooty bang bang's - The GUN Thread!

Your original observation about Rambo III is about as old as the Mussolini dictatorship was. And even less triggering.

I find it hilarious that not only you guys financed what amounted to a religious cartel that would become your biggest threat in Central Asia but also made a movie about helping them and twelve years later you had to go fight them, just for them to win as soon as you leave it aged like milk.

Bruh... the thread topic is on cool guns. I posted a video of a PKM, then made a Rambo reference. You decided to think your clever with a twenty something year old joke. But this thread isn't about that. Its not about gun control. And it's not about politics.

If you want to try and low effort troll me, remember it's Black History Month in America. Maybe you can compare Black people to apes and monkeys again?

Anyways In Honor of Black History Month or something...

When Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) opens up with the automatic shotgun in the first Expendables movie in the tunnel complex and the booming sound of the gunfire just thumps through the theater or your premium sound system.



And of course the iconic mad minute from the Predator movie. Dillion (Bill Duke) on the minigun. And that Carl Weathers guy is there in the background as well... RIP.

The photograph of the soldier firing a machinegun is an official US Army photograph taken by Department of the Army Special Photographic Office photographer Robert C. Lafoon. As part of his official duties as a photographer he recorded the photo as being of PFC Milton L. Cook of Baltimore, Maryland, serving in Company C, 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry (Mechanized), 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division. He also recorded the date of the photograph as 8 January 1967. - VVMF.org



And of course, the most tasteful of films... Bad Boys II.



This was peak cinema.

Boeing company had a neat idea about that M230 30mm autocannon that's slung under the Apache attack helicopter. (Please note, not to be confused with the Bushmaster 30mm autocannon, as both fire different rounds, 30x113 for the M230 vs. 30x173 for the Bushmaster MK44, respectively.)

"What if we could convert that into a ground-mounted weapon to be used like the M2 .50 cal. heavy machine gun, or the Mk. 19 40mm high-velocity automatic grenade launcher...?"

A seemingly neat idea, the concept was toyed around with, both as a tripod mounted weapon and mounted on vehicles such as the Humvee and the FAV, if the pictures below are accurate.

Unfortunately, it also had the dubious distinction as a weapon that was pushed by none other than Mike Sparks and his clique as a weapon that could be fitted to the Gavin---er, M113. Which honestly, doesn't sound like too bad an idea, on paper at least.

Also unfortunately, it doesn't seem the weapon had any buyers who were interested, officially at least. I do wonder what the recoil would be like with such a weapon, especially in a tripod mount and how well you would need to sandbag the tripod legs to make it manageable? I also wonder if the recoil would have any adverse effect over time on vehicle pintle mountings? And how would all this effect accuracy from a non-stabilized mount? It is an autocannon, after all, but a cool concept.


@Husky_Khan , sadly I don't think Rambo would've been able to hip-fire this.

50kg seems insanely low. That borders on WWI rifle calibre HMGs.

 

[Tiamat]

Probably due to more modern materials and manufacturing methods. The lighter weight can be both a good and bad thing? Lighter weight makes it easier to transport especially if you're planning to employ this as a heavy weapon in a squad, though that might also make recoil a bit more difficult as traditionally, heavier mass helps (to an extent) with recoil mitigation. One assumes the dual recoil adapters and enormous muzzle brake helps with mitigating the recoil(?).


EDIT: Meant to say COMPANY, not squad as Buba pointed out, ugh.

 

[Buba]

A 50kg weapon is NOT a squad weapon. Company level - battalion even better.

Vermont... interesting.

I hope more details come out.

Did he just have his gun primed and ready?

There's so many questions.

Saw that, meant to say weapons company, ugh. Blame that on early morning and not enough coffee.

I wouldn't want to go into combat with a muzzle loader, but it's still a lethal weapon to your average home invader.

Yep. The M230 chain gun was designed as a lightweight, compact 30mm specifically for the Apache, and is actually both smaller and lighter than the 25mm Bushmaster chain gun.

The Mark 44 Bushmaster II is a scaled-up evolution of the 25mm chambered for the 30x173mm caliber that was invented for the GAU-8 Equalizer, and the Bushmaster III is another scaled-up evolution chambered for the 35x228mm caliber from the Oerlikon KD autocannon.

Bruh, I still find it hilarious. I come from Europe, so basically California/Blue state gun laws, where if you shoot robbers or rapists you go to prison, so the last person to wanting gun control is me.

If you want to try and low effort troll me, remember it's Black History Month in America. Maybe you can compare Black people to apes and monkeys again?

To my memory, I never did.

And made a very big statement on what kind of ladies or women I dated in the past that proves the contrary :

And I had dated Maghrebi girls and Africans (born in Italy, not in the mood for African tourism unless it would be countries like Morocco,Algeria,Tunisia and Senegal).

Of course I don't appreciate what is often associated with American "black" "culture" together with social-progressivism.

But ok let's stay on topic.

Pity... I've only seen people trying to armor up our ballistic gel brethren only up to 20mm rounds... and single shots as opposed to rapid fire.



I also don't mind calling it the M113 Gavin. It's more of a meme I suppose but I don't see it as really legitimizing Mike Sparks and those other Combat Reform visionaries.

Well if if helps jog your memory, you made the statement when derailing another thread with an almost identical basic B response you just had here when me bringing up Rambo III here triggered you enough to have your "hilarious" derail.

Regardless the point is in this thread (and most threads) no one gives a fuck about your opinions on gun control, your interracial dating patterns or opinions on American Black culture anymore then they give a fuck that your offering the same brain dead takes regardless of what the thread topic is. The fact your too obstinate or stupid to realize it is hilarious to me.

But ok lets stay on topic.

 

[Buba]

As to that 30mm tripod mounted cannon - only now I've noticed that the table gives its ammunition as ADEN/DEFA. AFAIK that is QUITE potent ammo in that calibre (airplane junkies will know more ).

It is that the brRRRT 30mm is in a different league, being a dedicated AT round, and not for air combat or air to ground against softies.

 

[Husky_Khan]

@Husky_Khan , sadly I don't think Rambo would've been able to hip-fire this.

Also I just recalled...



Technically... not hip firing I suppose... well at least one handed hip firing.

Vulcan Raven

Vulcan Raven was a member of FOXHOUND who participated in the unit's revolt on Shadow Moses Island in 2005. He was a shaman and was raised in the cold state of Alaska. Vulcan Raven was born to Native Alaskan American and Inuit parents. He had a tattoo of a raven on his forehead and petroglyph...

You can still watch it one handed though...

Yeah, that sucked.

I think we can all agree if the Raven itself was here, it would being saying, "Nevermore."
