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.

NICE!!!
You know, if you live in Mass., those would make you a felon without massive amounts of paperwork.
The C-130 is a 60 year old airframe. Sick, isn’t it? I was nervous that the ship I lived on in the Coast Guard was an old scow at 45 years old.
