Wouldn’t a pair of rotary .50 Cal putting out a dispersed cloud over a large area be better and more cost effective than 30mm?

Wondering why the propellers on the front plane are shaped like that, while the props on the following planes are of a more “typical “ design

We need to bring back our A1 Skyraiders and rebuild our A10 fleet...or hell, start new production. Super Tucano’s should be given to border states to repel illegals.

In the future, AC-130 crews also hope to incorporate a high-energy laser aboard the gunship.

Gotta love it Frick'n Laser Beams.
