COOL! A guy at work and I watched this like 20 times just now discussing why the bullets come in at such a different angle than the view the camera gives...

Good footage and love the results and I don't know why the angle is different. But that ain't no A-10, that is a M230 Chain Gun as used in an AH-64 Apache and other helicopters. The A-10 Gatling fires at the rate of 4300 rounds a minute, much faster.

Awesome! Now that's the way fight. From 2 miles away. Nice and safe (or safer?).
