US Airforce Portable Laser Gun

AC-130 "Fry Daddy" (conceptual rendering)

The military plans to test the Advanced Tactical Laser, a laser weapon mounted on a C-130H air transport that could destroy enemy ground targets. The beam would be about the size of a quarter.

Hah!

They cancel the Commanche helicopter because the Apache blew in Iraq, now after trialling one laden with miniguns/grenade launchers they're sufficiently convinced that the C-130 "Agile as a whale" Hercules is good enough for laser guns.

One RPG in the jacksie and it'll be filed under "Classified Crap".

AC-130 Spectre has been flying in Iraq since the beginning of the war, none have been shot down in iraq yet. Guess you need go to Iraq to demonstrate how to shoot it down.

AC-130 Spectre gunship two and a half miles from the target. The guys in the picture are setting up a roadside bomb, night vision video from Iraq

Well a British C-130 was shot down in Iraq last year by an RPG killing all onboard. They couldn't work out at first what went wrong (there were suspicions a bomb had been smuggled onboard at the airport).

Here are some more things US troops have blown up:

1) A Reuters cameraman
2) A wedding party
3) The Palestine Hotel
4) A school
5) UK troops


Yeehaw!

Don't forget the canadian troops in afghanistan ;-)

You see, you have all this firepower, with people I woudn't trust to be able to open a can of beans calling the shots on how to use it.

Is it any wonder?

@metalman

AC-130? Suits you sir! Ooohh! Oooh, do you feel the stirrings of an erection looking at those large weapons sir? Protruding suggestively from the fuselage, sir? Oooh! Suits you, sir!

This is the successor to the the 15,000-lb. "Daisy Cutters" delivered by the "MC-130E Talon"

"Mother Of All Bombs" (MOAB - Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb)

[Hyperspeed]

During WW2 the British dropped a bomb called 'Grand Slam' on those Nazi people. It was 22,000lbs (9,979Kg).

This means we beat you.

Rule Britannia! Britannia Rules the Waves!
