Did anyone watch Mythbusters Wednesday night?

At the end of the program Jamie came up out of a black suv with a massive machine Gatling gun, i believe they called it an M60. It made me wonder if blackwater was using these in Iraq. These guns are scary heavy ordinance, I forget the rate of fire, but it sounded like one shot being fired just zip. Something like this could cut through a barricade in no time flat.

1. It is a wicked weapon.
   
Edited on Fri Nov-23-07 12:18 PM by TomInTib
However, due to a design flaw, the M60 is not capable of extended fire.

Even though it can pop about 10 rounds per second, the barrel will fail after about 100 rapid-fire rounds. They designed a lightweight barrel for mobility, but the barrels melt so easily that the gunner has to carry extra barrels. Brilliant, that.

It also cannot be used overhead.

But the M60 can definitely mess stuff up.

Tom's the former supa sekrit soldier™ but doesn't attempt to inform the OP that an M60, is not a gatling gun.

2. M60 isn't a gatling style though is it?

Doh!

10. Link-belt fed.
   
I missed the "Gatling" part in the OP.

My eyes went directly to M60, since I have spent way too much time around those things.

As far as I know, the only "Gatling" (revolving barrels) style weapons are used on attack helos and A-10 Warthogs.

But, as always, I could be wrong.

oooo nice save, Tom

6. That wasn't a M60
   
Edited on Fri Nov-23-07 12:29 PM by tularetom
M60 was used in Vietnam and could only fire about 10 rounds per second for about 10 seconds. It also had a tendency to jam.

This was a rotating gatling type gun with multiple barrels and I believe they said it could fire 3000 rounds per minute (that's 50 per second) and it appeared too big to be handled by one person so it must be mounted.

11. Usually on choppers or A-10 Warthogs. nt
   
Calling the GAU8 a "gatling gun", is like calling a giant blood thirsty lion , "kitty".
nb: I can't quite get the syntax of the post : I sure HOPE he wasn't saying an M60 was mounted on an A10, in Vietnam

10. I'm really interested in the Tesla.
   But the Lambo blew the launch.

I had a LP640 (Murcielago) which would punch thru 60 in 3.3 or.4.

Traded it for a Carrera GT (which I am extremely proud of)

Never even got to drive a GT.

Yeah, I have the GT (V10).

7. The Lambo blew the launch.
   I have drove a Murcielago (LP640) for a while and it will punch 60 in under 3.5, usually 3.4 or.3 in perfect conditions.

After that, it really squirts.

12. I never use enough words.
   While the Lambo driver missed something, the Chevy was awesome.

I would love to own it and race it. I wish I could hear it live.

I would go biodiesel if I could have something that fast.

Now that's damn funny...the guy uses SO many words he gets himself in trouble. Here's my question, though. The guy is an ex-con which pretty much keeps him out of most high paying jobs, he works at a card shop (an upscale one, but still a card shop) and lives in one of the most expensive places in the country...how the hell does he afford all those fancy cars?

35. Or Lumberton...
   I actually remember when Lumberton was called Chance-Loeb.

Goodness, I knew some crazy people who lived there.

My Grandfather had a guy named Houston Brown who worked for him. Houston lived (by choice) in a large culvert and chased cars like a dog. He was killed doing that.

Ho Hum...another thing TiT's an expert at...now he can tell because of how her eyes look (just from photos mind you) that Cindy McCain is a drug addict...opiates of course.

8. In the opiates business, we call it "pinned".
   When you are doing certain types of drugs, your pupils become mere pinpoints, thus the term.

18. It's not permanent.
   I saw some pictures of her today and it is very obvious that she is doing either opiates or some derivatives or synthetics.

But, then again, blue-gray eyes such as hers are usually sensitive to sunlight.

But I would bet the farm that she is having a problem.

By the way, I actually like Cindy McCain more than I do any of the candidates. But she should come clean, set the record straight.

Here is something I wrote on this last night:

You name it.

20. This is an Eric Taylor song, Tom
   Hi Tom,

My name is Susan, I manage Eric Taylor and Blue Ruby Music & Records.

The song you're calling "Whose God" and claiming to have written is, in actual fact, a song written by my artist Eric Taylor. The real title is "Your God" and is on his Scuffletown CD, released in 2001. We own the copyright and all publishing rights to "Your God" and Scuffletown.

You must own the Scuffletown CD, since we have the lyrics printed in the CD booklet. For those of you on this forum who'd like to hear a 1-minute MP3 of the song, please go to our Blue Ruby Music web site - www.bluerubymusic.com - and go to the "Listen" page. "Your God" is track #8 on the Scuffletown CD.

Tom, I realize that "Your God" is a great song. For legal, ethical, moral, business and personal reasons, I urge you to cease from plagiarizing and attempting to take credit for Eric Taylor's copywritten and legally protected work.

Sincerely,
Susan

12. I think you may be a little overly sensitive, ruggerson
   
Rather than taking a "You looking at me?" overview, maybe you should just stretch and look at some things objectively.

It's not as if it were aimed at you.

You are who you are.

And I am who I am.

I am a pretty hopeless alcoholic and drug addict. I have no plans to change. Only death will accomplish any change.
But I don't get pissed when I read negative (or satiric) shit about drunks and junkies.

And I have been living with this for 40 years.

Take it easy, sometimes, ruggerson. You will be much more content and happy.

It ain't about you.

Give some credit to us serious drinkers.

And fuck my liver.
Thru a string of events, I was left with about 33% liver function back in the early 70s.

I just said fuck it and have danced on the edge of the feather ever since.

8. I was in a pot-legal zone last night.
   
At the Fillmore in San Francisco.

There was so much smoke in the air that I took out my contacts and dropped them on the floor.

And I have been smoking, every day, for 45 years.

I have been around large animals all my life, and I have seen pencil-dicks such as that idiot asshole do some incredibly stupid things to try to feel equal to a much finer being.
