A friend of mine sent this along and I thought you guys might enjoy it as well. be sure to read the following text before watching.

USAF WORKING

This video was taken inside the cockpit of an A-10 by the pilot.
It was a night view. What you see is from 9700 feet away (almost
two miles).

Four terrorists are walking along a street with no clue that
someone is watching them........ from almost 2 miles away. The
A-10 fired a 30 mm cannon WITHOUT injuring the dog nearby who
escaped unharmed.You can see the gun camera shake a bit as the
pilot fires; then count about 4 seconds for the rounds to travel 2
miles. Every tenth round is a tracer, so the bullets you actually
see are every tenth; they are getting hit with hundreds of rounds,
but the dog is unscathed. Muzzle velocity on the 30mm cannon is
2430 feet per second. The result is that four fewer guys won't be
blowing up women and children anymore! The dog, in the upper
right, just safely gets the hell out of there.

Maybe we should have brought them back to the USA and gave them A fair trial first then shoot them ;) ;)

I was a weapons specialist for the A-10 when I was in the USAF they are a cool piece of machinery. Although the are older. With the bomb capacity and the gun it's hard to beat.
