Lee Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Check out this cool video of a raid on terrorists in Iraq at night by our troops. One thing I don't quite understand, towards the end of the video a gun fires, it almost sounds like a mini-gun. But I can't think of any U.S. ground vehicle that has one of those mounted on it, do we have one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWG1yiRn2hY&feature=related 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan8325 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 IIRC some special ops HMMWVs have 7.62mm miniguns on the weapon mount. I'm not sure which special ops use them, probably Delta. It would be cool to see those in CMSF or CMSF2 if special forces are included. Below are some pics and videos. http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=76452&highlight=mini-gun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was guessing it was a humvee if any vehicle had mounts like that. Thanks for the links, seems we do have some of those cool miniguns in combat over there. There was fire going up, must have been the terrorists, our guys certainly wouldn't be firing in the air like that. But I'm still almost sure that minigun fire at the end was coming from a ground vehicle to the right of the guy with the camera, it was way too close and clear sounding, plus at that distance you would definitely hear if it was a chopper flying there. I've seen a minigun fired, it's extremely impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius359au Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was braindead when I made my post , meant to say I thought the fire going was maybe being fired at a Helo , thats why I was wondering if the minigun had come from a helo (sleeps fro the weak , but unfortunately its kinda needed ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
