I've never heard it in person AnnaT but I agree, the sound is awesome.

-Just to split hairs, a "chain gun" is a completely different animal than a "mini gun".

Fires a MILLION ROUNDS A MINUTE.
Beats the **** out of a 30mm gattling gun any day.

Hell it beats the **** out of most large concrete blocks any day.

At 1M rpm the Metal Storm is nothing but a glorified (electronically) triggerd shotgun. A very impressive shotgun though.

And the sound...it's like the biggest loudest most pissed off hornets nest ever.

You should hear the 20mm version.

I've stood behind an LAV 25 firing its 30mm chain gun. That is some loud **** for sure...

It would be interesting to know how many rounds are tracers compared to the rounds that aren't. Not that it would matter for the enemy.

I wonder would it must be like for the enemy to be on the receiving end of a spectre gunship, their guns are computer controlled.

Sucks to be you Habib.

I love O Fortuna playing the background. That song goes with anything. You could play that while eating a cheese sandwich and it would be just as hard. I love O Fortuna, cheese sandwiches, and excessive firepower.

sounds like a profile in a personals ad

Thank you for the correction Ronin. Just so we don't get off on the wrong page, I am genuinely interested, can you tell me how the two are different, maybe even show some pictures? That would be cool, thanks again.

Luckyyyy.....are/were you in the military or did you just get the oppurtunity?

I wonder what it would be like being in an A-10 Warthog(or Thunderbolt I think?)
with it's 30mm chain gun(If I'm not mistaken). Those things are f'ing beasts, tank hunters I tell you! What a great plane.
