I spent some time working at NAS Pt. Mugu because that was where all the F-14s were at the time. One day, they test fired the Vulcan gun from a plane chained to the ground wth the engine running, and I was in the maintenance crew on standby nearby (in a bunker, behind an 18-inch concrete wall embedded in 8 feet of beach sand, just in case). The gun sounded more like a zipper opening than a machine gun (50 rounds =3D 1/2 second). |

The > gun sounded more like a zipper opening than a machine gun (50 rounds = > 1/2 second). A Vulcan, that's 20 mm, right? In these clips, the first gun that fires, the one that sounds zipper-like, is I believe a mini-gun that is only 7.62 mm! So the Vulcan must have been ungodly. The second gun to fire, the slower-firing and chunkier one, is a 30 mm chain gun like the Apache has. Then the third one, la piece de resistance, is the rockets. Ever heard the A-10's 30 mm gun fire? That sounds like the fabric of space/time being torn open. Or something. I think each shell is a pound. Take a look at this pic, and consider that that thing goes inside an *airplane*. It looks like the size of a tank gun! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GAU-8_meets_VW_Type_1.jpg Dave |

You can expect that, from a mighty Hungarian warrior. Horvath@Horvath.net My T-shirt says, "This shirt is the ultimate power in the universe." |

It's a single barrel chain gun that fires depleted uranium shells, (not radioactive.) It can penetrate all known armor. It could even slay a mighty Hungarian warrior. >space/time being torn open.

All uranium is radioactive. U235 is more useful in fission reactions but constitutes lesx than 1% of the natural ores, so it is eniched by expensive processes from the natural product. Depeleted uranium is what is left over after the U235 enrichment process. |

You can say that everything is radioactive, and you'd be correct. But DU is among the metals that is not considered radioactive.

But some things give off more radiation than others. DU is NOT considered radioactive, because the radioactive material has been removed. Consider yourself on double-secret probation.
