    The sound of these rapid-fire, multi-barreled machineguns just makes me wish that I'd never be caught in the croshairs of one.

    Awesome firepower though....

    ^

    The ground based version fires explosive shells that detonate on impact or at a preset distance. This is a modification to avoid 'friendly' fire, the original naval version uses tungsten or uranium bullets.

    They could also use Skyranger...the Millenium gun with AHEAD ammo in a land vehicle, in this case the Piranha III.

    That lead is going back where it came from, the earth. If a weapon system like that is firing on a market place I think pollution is probably the smallest of your worries.

    The rounds self destruct in the air. You can see them exploding.

    Amazing firepower, they need to put that on an abrams chassis for city fighting I think they are not antieverything, afaik they can't shoot down sunburn's.

    I don't think the C-RAM needs to shoot down Sunburns, you don't often see anti-ship missiles being used on land installations.
