Just because the levels arnt high enough to power fusion/fission doesnt mean its not still dangerous, there are numerous NATO treaties banning, or at the least limiting the use of DU munitions because of this very reason, its well known its dangerous!
@ Joek0617- Depleted Uranium munitions ARE radioactive. DU is simply another class of uranium (all Uranium IS radioactive) and has a half-life of 700billion years, the reason you can stand to be around DU without insta-death is its biological half-life (the time it takes for the body to eliminate half of it) of only 15 days, your still going to be at risk of radiation sickness for well over a month even after just the smallest dose
chuck norris jokes are stupid as shit, chuck norris is a pussy now, and probably always was, have you seen his total gym commercial? look at his gay little mustache :/
@7themirror DEPLETED uranium is not radioactive, it's actually the waste from uranium enrichment, the stuff we don't use in nukes and stuff because it's not unstable or radioactive
Bad memories of the Kitty Hawk sailors flooding the base with long lines and causing havoc out in town and ruining privileges for everyone else... But sure would have sucked to have been stationed on there though.
Phalanx CIWS (Close In Weapons System), Caliber 20x120mm, Firing Rate: 4,500 rounds a minute or 75 per second of Tungstrum Penitrating shells, Tungstrum wieght similar to lead. Guidance System, Ku-Band Radar and Flir. 6 20mm barrels. You can barely hear the gaps between each shell, driving by Pneumatics!
@Macemeetface1 You're right, but that's not what it's designed for. It's part of the CIWS (close-in weapon system) and is specifically to counter anti-ship missiles such as Exocet and the more modern variants. It works.
CWIS shoots the biggest part of a missile first, and then the next biggest piece, and so on and so forth, until there is nothing but shrapnel left, the gun is guided via radar, and THAT is THE last ditch effort at defending the ship. 50 rounds a second, that is ONE BAD ASS GUN, wish i could put one of those bad ass guns on my car.
The A-10's GAU-8 cannon (or should I say the GAU-8 with attatched A-10) is easily the scariest sound I'll ever hear, the videos of it send shivers throughout my body.
I agree. I've seen videos of those things strafing targets and it is indeed terrifying. The pilots also come home smelling like gunpowder, even though they're in a sealed cockpit. I knew a guy who was a crew chief for an A-10, and he told me.
USS JOHN KING (DDG3), USS STERETT (CG31), USS MAUNA KEA (AE22), COMNAVSURFPAC. Watching this thing go off first hand and up close is an E-ticket. Same with the Harpoon and ASROC. USN '72 - '82.

For all of you guys that have a clue as to what type of weapon this is and the amount of damage it can do would not make jokes about this. I was on a ship that ran test for this weapon. Who ever shot the video knew that they should have not been outside when this weapon is being fired. Ever heard of captains mass.
@ajg2business You were never on a ship. Because if you were you would have known it is Captain's MAST not Captain's MASS. You are just repeating a misspoken term. And yes it is permissible for people to be on deck when weapons are fired. You just have to be in the safe zone and use hearing protection.
When all else fails...and the Chinese missles get through...this thing and its radar top hat is supposed to throw up a wall of lead to explode the missle. The way Obama is running our military...we'll need these.
Remember on one of our gunshoots our forward CIWS was getting ready to fire off a 100rd burst. I didn't get my second earplug in on time and I couldn't hear anything for quite a while. Good thing I was off duty that day. Sounds like a buzzsaw rockconcert......really loud, you're really deaf, and you won't forget the experience.
My dad was in the Navy (ret.), and he had a freind who was doing maininence while on one of these while his ship was docked in Hawaii, it was facing inland, he (the friend) hears a "BRP!" from right behind him and looks up wondering whats happened and doesnt find anything wrong, later ammo count shows two rounds missing.
@Monkeynuts502 Sorry but I've got to call shenanigans... first of all, if he were that close to it, he would have heard the hydraulic or pneumatic system go active, after that he would hear the barrels spin, and then he wouldn't be able to hear ANYTHING for a few moments. You would definitely know if it fired or not... the best description I've ever heard of this gun firing was that it sounded like an atomic zipper. Besides, we don't pull into ports loaded...
@Smokeyvette OK, I believe you, It was just a story I heard, I dont have any knowledge of proper procedure or anything like that, so thanks for clearing that up.
@MR911paintballa I guess if you think each bullet cost $2222.23 In 6 sec. of fire with that, you would shoot around 450 bullets which comes out to $6750.00
@pyroman645 Because of it's ammunition consumption and the fact that it's 20mm rounds would be ineffective against other tanks. It's the last line of defense against incoming anti-ship missiles if the Aegis cruisers and destroyers, fighter aircraft, and such fail to intercept them.
Haha, I don't know why I didn't think of that, thanks.
Final question, what's the big dome, radar or ammo? It seems a tad ironic, given the weapons purpose, and the RCS it gives away. If it's ammo why not have it fed from below deck?
Imagine this as a nerf gun or bb gun
