  • Die killer tomato! Die! Die Die!...

  • @Schnookynibbles no CIWS is a rifle

  • easy way to catch some fish

  • I see the sabots hitting the water up close to the ship.

    Fun to see a tomato get it from the CIWS.

  • lol never seen the sabots and the pushers before nice

  • @SuperSeacrest Dude, you've absolutely RIGHT.

  • Yes, EcPercy is correct. Once hit a killer tomato from 4 miles. 5/38" USS NEW JERSEY, pointer Mnt.55. No we use them for gun shoots, we do not try to recover them.

  • FYI balloon is called a "Killer Tomato" and no it isn't typically recovered after an exercise.

  • he means the sabot. its to protect the barrel. its like a plastic container around the round falling away when it leaves the barrel.
