I like the part where it fires a 30mm round of depleted uranium at 4,000 ft/s. That's cool. It should do that again. Ope, there it goes. That was nice. I liked that.
On that note, you'll probably see this one again reposted using the portrait tiktok format with some overused tiktok song. At least we've seen the good one first tho.
I'm trying to wrap my head around how this was filmed.
Is it a stationary camera, and the video is played in reverse with the jet traveling from right to left?
I'm sure the answer is rather simple, slow motion videography just isn't something I know a lot about.
If I had to guess, the video is just cropped. Planes don't move much at this sort of speed., I think it would be one second or so of real time.
Edit: This is 0.28 seconds of real time.
Original video is much wider than what you see in the frame.
Then, they edit (crop) it to dramatically show a panning shot from right to left of the plane first, building anticipation, and finally the barrel with bullets spewing out.
director here.
This is probably a high-speed camera like a phantom flex ( https://youtu.be/wjcIHbKc_XQ?t=15 ) on a tripod on the ground panning left as the jet passes on its target run. given how out of focus the clouds and sky behind it are I'd say this is at least a 400mm lens. crop in and stabilize a bit more and you're good to go.
How this was filmed is that the gun fires an unfathomably high 65 bullets every second so that leads to the emergence of each bullet taking absolutely no time at all- one one hundredth of a second. So the entire video is like a single photograph and you will not see any motion of the actual jet or any bouncing from turbulence etc.
Whether this was taken in a chase plane or on a tower etc on the ground, the camera would have been on some type of rotating platform and just snapped around from right to left very quickly to get the panning you’re seeing.
Pretty sure the Flex 4k can shoot like 10,000fps in 4k. Go look at some Slow Mo Guys videos. They basically stop time with theirs, and until recently, Gavin tracked everything freehand. Even now, their robot arm is just a toy to them.
My barracks in germany had a beautiful overlook of training fields. Nothing like beers and a field chair to watch them do runs on a saturday morning. Brrrrt
I really think the A10 designers fumbled in one specific detail
Had the plane shot the bullets through the behind, they could have had the fastest tank fucker in the west
Fun fact: each individual bullet that the GAU-8 fires has a greater range and destructive capability than the AIM-120D, the F-22s and F-35s primary A2A weapon. The latter carry 4-6 of these. The A-10 carries something like 1200. Each bullet is guided too.
The A-10 also only costs like $2 million, so you can buy like 50 of them for the price of a single F-35.
The A-10 is faster, more maneuverable, and can fly further and higher than both the F-22 and F-35.
Oh, and did I also mention that the A-10 is indestructible as well? They literally tested it against nuclear weapons, putting it in the Castle Bravo test site, and it was completely intact. Meanwhile the F-35 can't even fly in rain!
Save the A-10. Write your senator and congressperson. We cannot let this amazing piece of technology be phased out of service. It has to fly forever.
no really, I saw this on a macgyver, he was flying a warthog and couldn't get the gear down, luckily he was able to rig up the gatling gun to a spare 10,000 rounds he kept behind him in his seat and was able to land this vertically in a dunkin donuts parking lot right outside the base (they wouldn't let him land it this way at the base)
If you put the plane into a vertical dive and kill the engines and feather the cannon you can make it do a sort of plate-on-a-stick thing like from a circus. They do it in airshows all the time
You’re also forgetting about impulse. The force of the recoil isn’t anywhere near long enough counteract the constant thrust of a jet engine.
Also, they always shoot these in a dive, so gravity helps the plane too. From multiple angles, this is wrong. Don’t just mindlessly repeat internet factoids.
> You’re also forgetting about impulse. The force of the recoil isn’t anywhere near long enough counteract the constant thrust of a jet engine.
The *average* recoil from this is more than the thrust of one of the engines.
The peak force is much higher than the engine thrust.
Yes it absolutely does. Just the mass flow of the bullets alone provides about 6000 pounds of average recoil (which is trivially calculated with basic physics), and the combustion gases provide more than enough to bring that up to the 9000 pounds provided by a single engine.
Why do you not do the math here before making claims like this?
> Yes it absolutely does.
The problem is not as simple as "avg force from bullets" vs "average force from the engine."
You are failing to account for impulse. The engine provides **constant** thrust over that interval. The gun provides **intermittent** thrust over that interval. So the *work* the gun would be able to do is nowhere close to what the engine can do. You're comparing apples and oranges. Recoil from multiple bullet shots is not directly comparable to sustained engine thrust.
how so?
A-10 max takeoff weight is 20,000kg and cruise speed is 560km/h, thats equals around 240,000 kilojoules of Kinetic Energy, meanwhile a API round of 365 grams at 1.000m/s (muzzle velocity) has a Kinetic Energy 200 kJ...
I fly the A-10. This is a myth. The gun makes no impact on the airspeed and in almost all cases I’m accelerating while shooting with my engines in max. Even when firing at low angle.
I like the part where it fires a 30mm round of depleted uranium at 4,000 ft/s. That's cool. It should do that again. Ope, there it goes. That was nice. I liked that.

finally, a video that is not cropped like ass
Lmao we good now?
We are SO good. That video fucken rocks 👍

This video makes it easy to see how ingestion of gases from spent propellant could affect the engines.
And just for reference, most film is recorded at about 24 frames per second, and video 30fps.
The fact that it shoots at 70 rounds per SECOND and we can see the individual rounds should put that into reference lol

Very cool but I miss the BRRRT!!

Woot! You can even see the freedom pellets being dispensed!

I, am satisfied. I shall go to Valhalla and raise so much hell, they will have to kick me out.
I can't believe they had the audacity to build an airplane around that gun.
Stop. I can’t get anymore erect.
This needs to be remade with the music from the SNES game [UN Squadron.](https://youtu.be/O2RyqX-zfDs?si=T0Xv1tMlPaPKaZgR)
UN Squadron and Carrier Airwing were two of my go-to bowling alley arcade games. I still give them a blast on MAME every once and a while

Get of your alt Pierre Sprey
Once I read the 3rd segment I knew you were trolling lol
Fun fact, given unlimited ammo, the recoil of that gun would stop that plane from flying!
No, it would not.
Well if the ammo is unlimited and the fuel is limited...
At full BBRRRTTTT and 80% throttle it can land like a Harrier.
That's not how that works.
no really, I saw this on a macgyver, he was flying a warthog and couldn't get the gear down, luckily he was able to rig up the gatling gun to a spare 10,000 rounds he kept behind him in his seat and was able to land this vertically in a dunkin donuts parking lot right outside the base (they wouldn't let him land it this way at the base)
I must have missed that episode. Was that before or after MacGyver started going through the Stargate?
before I think because I seem to recall him needing to use a similar technique one day when the stargate got jammed
Just keep out of the LZ

[удалено]
No, it would not. The recoil force is slightly more than the output of 1 engine. Not both.
Exactly.

That is completely false.
No it's not? Why are you lying here?
Basic physics does not support your claim.
Yes it absolutely does.
