Question, i know in the army you get to choose your job but in the air force do you get to choose? I REALLY REALLY want to be an aerial gunner but i dont really want to get stuck in a differant job. I have heard that you make a job wish list of 1-10. Is this ture? Please reply, it would help a lot.
If I was in the millitary I would want to use the AA12 automatic shotgun. They have special ammo for it that makes it act like a fully automatic miniature grenade launcher. Those grenade shells have impressive range considering its a shotgun fireing them.
I was an aerial combat gunner until I had both of my tesitcles shot off witth small arms fire. Now I'm the ball-less wonder at the local circus side-show. There are worse jobs I guess. You gotta be willing to take the good with the bad - I guess is what I'm trying to say re: Airforce aerial gunner.
well thank you for serving our country, and litterly losing our balls for us. one of my friends is a pilot... he got shot in the ass twice. shit sucks, sorry man:(
Im really excited about joining the Air Force next year. I wanted to be an Aerial Gunner for a year, and then do AECP. My question(to anyone that was an aerial gunner) is how dangerous is the job? And how fun is the job? Thank you, great video
you shouldnt be asking the question how dangerous , cos you need to be in the right frame of mind and not care bout that , on the ground we dont want to be thinking if your sat up there crapping it .
All you asking about it jamming, the gattling gun works so that each barrel does another thing, it doesn't matter if a round failed to fire, it will just go through the system and another round will fire from the next barrel. (Thumbs up for Stover36)
For it to jam it would take a serious mechanical or electronical failure of the gattling itself.
Nope, they jam all the time. The jams occur in the feeder delinker. Any time the booster motor fails, you have a electrical faliure or the belt becomes bound up the belt stretches and the feeder delinker starts chewing up rounds.
It's called the tankbuster for a reason. It's the only plane today that has been specifically made for CAS (close air support). It carries bombs aswell and it doesn't really get into dog-fights.
:D think of firing it to a bigger target like a car or something man that at least 4000 bullets in one minute i cant imagine anything that will witstand that amount of metal raining on it :D
Glad to finally see you guys got this built! When i PCS'd it was still in the blue folder stage! Maybe when i go back for SIM before i retire i can shoot it!
they have realised that the size of the bullet doesnt mean it does more damage, they have worked out that how fast the bullet goes, has more to do with the power it hits with, than the size of the bullets
The M134 minigun (called the GAU2 by the air force) is in 7.62x51mm but has been produced experimentally in cartridges ranging from 5.56x45mm to 12.7x99mm
Ok, you try shooting a gun that fires 1million rounds per minute with a bunch of backfire almost breaking your shoulder and tell me how good you do. =D
Yeah, I know its low to comment on a his accuracy, especially as its a training video & its impossible to see what range he is working at. I just thought it was funny how he appears to be completely missing the target, even though if you look closely he is hiting it, its just the stray rounds hitting the dirt are more visible.
There are two jobs in the AF that use the mini, both are on the HH-60 Pave Hawk. One is the FE and the other is Aerial Gunner.
It DOES NOT HAVE A SINGLE FIRE setting. This gun has two modes, one is low rate (2000 rounds per minute) and high rate (4000 RPM). There is a button that acts as the trigger. One is for the low and the other the high.
It is a 7.62 round and uses AC and DC power to operate all the guns systems.
What job title is the person who gets to shot the gun?...im lookin to enlist in the Air Force ANS I say the Job title "Aerial Gunner Apprentice"" is that the name of that job??..
i bet if you went hunting with that you have to wait for the dust to clear did i hit anything? well you hit it allright you blew it to goddamn bits lol
esta era una de las armas que usaban los aviones fouga magister de fabricacion francesa que tenia la fuerza aerea de El Salvador, para atacar a las fuerzas rebeldes del F.M.L.N. en los primeros años de la decada de los 80,s. luego fueron reenplazadas por las minigun.
That gun is perfectly save and clear and unable to fire in that state. In order to fire the gun you would need the housing cover / safing sector installed. Not to mention prior to handling the weapon your first step is to visually check each barrel to ensure there are no rounds in there.
Because the M134 Vulcan (minigun) is the smallest gun in the gatling family. Eg. the 20mm M61 vulcan is 188cm long , and the 30mm GAU-8 is 285cm long. The m134 has a 7,62mm round and is only 80cm long.
cnt exactly find out how long it takes 2 reload. and metalstorm doesnt use clips.
they insert ammo directly into the barrel, so its ammo capacity rly depends on how long the barrel is.
i think it would be a bitch 2 reload. could be solved if the have prefilled tubes. unless they use grenade rounds, then itll be a bitch 2 reload if u still want ur head attached.
but its mainly used as a turret neway,
so they'll have plently of time 2 reload while another one takes its place.
Looks like a bunch of USAF helicpter crewmen training to fire their miniguns without having to fire up a Pave Hawk; the song is "Firestarter" by the British Tecno band "The Prodigy" our of the ir "Fat Of The Land" CD; very nice video.
I think the ammo is past it's "use before" date and has to be disposed of. Think when the powder gets old, it starts to deteriorate and will self ignite if too old. So why not use it when you have to get rid of it anywho? ;)
If you miss your target with that... Then u shouldn't be firing it.
