Phalanx

The United States Army's version of the Navy's CIWS Phalanx anti-missile system also called the C-RAM, test fires at Camp Victory Iraq. The system uses a 20 mm M61A1 Gatling gun firing 3,000 or 4,500 M-246 or M-940 rounds per minute. The pressuere wave was so strong it took my breath away!

Nice vid.! But have you ever heard of editing?

[eddymorales23]

@Drivinfast247 editing??? what's that?  sorry, maybe I've been too busy supporting three wars to give a shit.

oh by the way eddie, your dumbass must have missed the huge sign written in arabic AND english that says photography is strictly prohibited, and deadly force is authorized. this video should not be on youtube. ever heard of OPSEC?

[eddymorales23]

@gnartell no sorry, I don't read Arabic, and photos are allowed as long as they don't reveal any locations but if anyone's curious, just email me for the geo-coordinates. just kidding, but no really.

@eddymorales23 i dont wanna sound stupid, but in your other comment you say "as long as they dont reveal any locations", but in the video it says at camp victory iraq.

[eddymorales23]

@bigpappanasty I meant where actual physical locations on base are, anyone can find out where VBC is.

Can ADT offer one with their home security?

[Peacekeeper2403]

@tcmatt409 Remind me never to visit your neighborhood... is it that bad you need one?

[Peacekeeper2403]

Nice... I've always been a fan of Gatling guns and wish there was a way to make their strongest feature stop being its biggest weakness. There has to be a way to give that weapon a nearly unlimited stash of ammo without the Conehead look.
