"amazingly i guarantee that blacktail defense has never been in a firefight, or a declared combat zone for that matter. you use what you have... and just a heads up the bradley doesn't have an "auto cannon", the proper nomenclature is the M242 bushmaster chaingun, 25mm. i use one daily in my LAV so before you spout off about all these HEAT rounds (If you even know what HEAT stands for) then shut the hell up and maybe you should put yourself in their shoes someday."

Let me reiterate pimpinaintez67's statement; "...the bradley doesn't have an .auto cannon'...".

What I'd like to say is:
"From what I took from this Video, Blacktail is bashing the (Br)asshats in command for supplying the wrong equipment, not the soldiers for using it, so anybody who is spouting "You've never been there! BAWWWWW!" should can it. These guys had the trouble because the idiots up top thought it wise to equip them with anti-tank weapons to fight an enemy...WITH NO TANKS. Why even have the M1 there if it only carries anti-tank weapons? Because it gives the brass their johnnies in the morning. "
Any idea why its gone tits up and wont let me post? Google takeover maybe?
XDXDXD

Beats me, but I had to get a friend to help me upload videos to Youtube; when I try it from my computer, the process stops and says "Error".
And wow, I didn't thow the US army has a cannon that fires "chains" :v
Let me guess: In that idiot's eyes, HEAT rounds create fire upon impact ("Hey, it says HEAT, so it's gotta do something with burning!").Should I tell him that HEAT rounds have as much to do with heat as a peanut with a pool table (because the chaped charge just produces a hypersonic metal sting but no heat - except for the usual shockwave, which is a lot smaller than usual because chaped charges require so little explosives to be effective - during the detonation)?
Thanks!

The term "Chain-Gun" is in fact used for the M242, but that doesn't mean the M242 isn't an Autocannon. I try to avoid describing weapons as "Chain-Guns", because the term is infinitive to weapons with an Externally-Motivated (i.e., electrically-powered) action --- this includes not only a variety of Autocannons, but also some Machine Guns;

Now that I think about it, it's also very revealing how this guy scolds me for using the term "HEAT", but fails to elaborate on what a HEAT warhead is, or what it's capabilities and limitations are.
It goes without saying, but it's kind of important for a serviceman to know these things.
I love the sound of the "mighty" and "superior" bushmaster ... *pok pok pok pok ...*
Yep, it's so much better than the rest of the guns out there ...
Oh btw ... may I introduce our Mauser Bk 27? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_BK-27

The BK 27 is one fearsome gun, but I don't know of any AFV application for it yet.
