Nice! Does that go in the AC130 Spectre gunships?

My friend, a USAF pilot in Afghanistan, flew an AC-130 Spectre. They had a 105mm howitzer and 40mm Bofors cannon, plus a few other goodies on-board. He said when they fired the 105, the plane moved sideways 8-12ft. I have one of the 105 brass shells and a rack of 4 40mm shells.

You can see them on top of my safe, in the back.
