those guys looked like a private security company like blackwater

cool vid

 

Yep, tracers! In between each tracer round you see, there's like three or four normal rounds. So that thing is spraying one hell of alot of bullets!!!

spent my fair share of time behind 20MM and up armament and the first question you want ask yourself is...you really think a 7.62 round (granted it's at 3000rpm(that's rounds per minute not revolutions! )) can blow crap up like that. Not doubting that most of that show was tracers...but that crap isn't blowing up like that. Play it again and especially watch the 1:10 time...there is a mistake on the cut and paste and at 1:11 one of their explosions gets missed placed.

Besides...the vid is an advertisement for Dillon Aero. They make a 7.62 system. They of course want to dress it up. LOL Every 3 to 4 months we'd load up the ole phalanx (with old 20MM tracer rounds) and blast old tanks and it would get colorful...but nothing like that 7.62. Last time I checked...civilian contractors can't get their hands on 7.62 inciderary rounds (haven't heard of such a thing...but you never know with uncle sam)

I still say, bad *** video, just don't believe "some" of the explosions and "some" of the tracer stuff.

 

3000 to 4000 a minute...at 3000 a minute thats 50 in one second

 

 

phalanx CIWS is more around 5000 rpm I was an FC in the navy those depleted uranium rounds feel like they weigh a pound a piece I know they werent shooting anything like that with the way they were bouncing off your right about the 7.62 round its just too small. I wish I had some vids from a pac shoot

 

yeh...that's the only mistake of my "time in"...no vid's for the good ****. Technology just wasn't there in the early 90's. The phalanx is rated at 4500 to 6000 rpm. the same gun on the f-14 is rated at 3500 to 4000 rpm. (stationary makes for faster rounds) That's just crazy fast DU rounds...all it takes it a quick 1 second blast and bye bye iraqi tank. Crazy! USA ROCKS!!!

 

Is there any way you can save that video to your computer I noticed you cant right click save as the video.

 

Want me to e-mail it to ya?

 

THAT WAS ALOT OF BULLETS!!!

i thought the 7.62 mini is rated for 6000rds a min? 6barrels and 1000 each barrel a sec?
i have an uncle in the airforce and he showed us some of his videos he made. the one in desert storm was BAD! he was in a apache i think? ill have to ask him to be sure.
as long as you can see your target it can be hit.
