"You can shell targets from a warplane?"

Cut 'em some slack, they've been reporting well thus far. ;0)

Well, not to excuse this poorly informed writer, but the C-130 Spectres had cannons. :)

Are they shelling ISIS? or Christians?

A-10's have cannons... The aircraft is armed with a General Dynamics GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm cannon, mounted in the nose of the aircraft.

But you are still correct, planes don't shell...

Warplanes are equipped with assault rifles.

The AC130 has a 105 Howitzer; it shoots a shell. It’s the same shell fired out of the 105mm used by light infantry. The cartridge case is shorter, but the projectile is identical.

That thing is awesome and should kick the crap out of a lot of those ISIS dirtbags. I also heard Hagel say he thinks there are more than 100 of them with US passports. AMF’s!

Spooky is an AC47. Spectre is an AC130.
