I may be off on the ballistics but it's late and I'm trying to remember. Airjockie said in a previous thread about the apache rotor design making it much quiter than traditional bladed birds. I think I remember the Warthog's gun being supersonic and I'm trying to find out if the Apache's 30mm is also. Anyone know? anyone..Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

My Jane's Longbow 2 game says M230 chain gun. Whatever the hell that is. It's a shame that the Marines weren't given them. Why does the Army get all the good shit when they don't even go into battle half the time? Errrrr.

I need one of those mounted on top of my car for people who camp in the left lane.

Oh Jesus, I can't even begin to tell you. I have a game every morning on my way to work. I see how many people I can pass in the right lane at a time. Not in the whole trip, but once at a time. My record is 18 in a row.
And you know what? It's not a law here that you can't block traffic in the left lane. It's perfectly legal to hold up traffic while you talk on your cell phone, put on makeup and smoke a cigarette while doing 10 under in your soccer-mom SUV in the left lane. However, a law is being written now to correct this problem. Hopefully it goes into effect this year.
