Throwing a whole lot of lead downrange. This was filmed in Iraq in 2008.
The vehicle is a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and the weapon an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! chain gun (from what I can gather on the Internets; correct me if I'm wrong, please).

Here's another good one.

I've seen that one. Brutal. It's wild how much time there is between the gun sound and the bullet strikes.
I heard a story back during the Iraq war about some Apache pilots taking heat for killing bad guys with a 30mm gun. The pilot replied, "It was the smallest gun I had at the time."

No, that's the GAU-12 AA version. The Bushmaster runs up to 500rpm, whereas the GAU-12 can do up to 4200rpm.

Sounds like their versions are running around 1800rpm.

THIS is a lot of lead. Everyone should go there at least once.
That wasn't even the best one...
Meh. Back in the early 2000's, I used to go there at least once a year, and there was usually 3-4 miniguns, plus all sorts of autocannons.

Bushmasters have unbelievable penetration. They will slay some tanks, like the t-55.
