minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years ago We already have automatic nerf and paintball turrets which to me says even if I haven’t seen one, it exists for real guns too. I’d like to introduce you to the US Navy’s Phalanx CWIS. It’s a fully automated 20mm rotary turret designed to destroy aircraft, missiles, and small boats.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoI’m not sure I understand what is going on in that video. Is the line from tracers and it’s just firing stupidly fast?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoYeah. The line is tracers. Only every 7th round or something like that is a tracer, though. So for every one you’re seeing there’s another six you’re not seeing. It’s very much an ‘accuracy by volume’ sort of deal. The thing looks goofy as hell, though.
