When you only care enough to send the very best, and when 180 rounds per minute (that’s 180 250mm rounds…woof) of hot lead isn’t enough, you can give them a dose of the death ray (ok, ok…it’s only 10 kilowatts, but that would still pop your popcorn!).
Anyway, just thought I’d share while I’m waiting for a flight.
FYI - 250 mm = 9.84"
There’s a misprint in the article - it’s a 25mm chaingun, which is more than big enough to blow the living hell out of a lot of targets.
I was thinking that 250 mm shells would be huge…almost like battleship rounds, and firing them at 180 rounds per minute would be something to see…for about 10 seconds before the thing tore itself apart!
Still, even at a paltry 25 mm, it’s still pretty cool that they put a frickin’ laser on it’s frickin’ head!
If sonething was shooting 3 bullets per second at me, I wouldn’t care about the frickin’ laser. Especially if they were ONE INCH DIAMETER bullets. :eek:
Almost like battleship rounds? A ten-inch shell was a standard battleship round a hundred years ago.
Just to give people some idea here’s a picture of two soldiers standing next to a ten-inch shell. Now imagine firing those off at a rate of three per second.
The perfect weapon if you were trying to sink Cuba.
