I cannot find the kill radius of a 30mm round. Why?
Been watching a video called "2 APACHES KILL A PLATOON OF TALIBAN" link removed... is including the title okay?
What are those rounds actually doing to those poor blams?
I spent a good half hour trying to find data or even just non black and white gun cam videos of the affects of the 30 x 113 mm shells the Apaches fire, and literally nothing comes up.
What the hell?
Is it classified?
I don't get it....
Thoughts on apaches, this thread, the video, auto cannons, whatever; discuss below.
GOGOGOOGOGOGO!
Edit: Have not been on the flood for while, intrepid member? Cool, and if this is against the rules, which I'm pretty sure it's not, someone please tell me, or if you're a mod, well.... :(

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] otterboyz My Dad showed me a video on youtube once of how an Apache used about 6 Hellfire missiles to attack 4 insurgents. Such a waist of money. [/quote] And let's do some math! AGM-114 Hellfire: 68,000 USD 68,000 X 6 = 408,000 USD Divided by 4, the number of insurgents: 102,00 Human life < 102,00$ (Although that's only the ammunition, let alone the multi million dollar helicopter, the pilots, the airbase, the mechanics, the entire command staff.... you're still assigning arbitrary value to a life) Now bring forth the "It's too damn much to kill one of them turban haeds" vs "F yeah, murica/whatever it takes" vs "we shouldn't even be killing them!" vs a bunch of other viewpoints. This thread has had surprisingly informed discussion so far, I'd like it to continue. [Edited on 10.07.2012 12:59 PM PDT]
