Millard     Well, did he shit himself or what?
I think an A-10 wouldn't even have to hit me to kill me; I'd be scared to death to hear that gun blaring down at me.
|
Millard Even off in the distance it sounds like some horrible nightmare creature.

|
Syd Midnight No high tech security system can ever replace a bouncer, I suppose. A jet-powered bouncer maybe, which is what an A-10 is.

dichoticwarior     good 'ole american battlefield intel.

MK_Ultra How do you know they hadn't advanced too far?

zatojones Yes because only the American military can make a mistake

Calling former Iraqi soldiers turned religious fascists "goatherders":
Racism dressed in the dandy blouse of peace.
|
TeenerTot     Holy hell.
|
Roachbud      One of those took off while my plane was waiting to in Boise and the pilot said: "That's the sound of Freedom!"
|
glasseye Killing goatherders halfway across the globe really keeps our freedoms secure. Instead we have a president who wants to restrict our freedom of speech, security from habeus corpeus, and such.
Go freedom. Woo.

Albuquerque Halsey      This is why I don't participate in the act of nerding out about phasers, lightsabers and other fictional weapons; because real ones will always be far more horrifying.
|
balistic      That is such a mean gun. I'd never heard audio of the rounds impacting before.
|
halon      That was genuinely scary
|
Scrotum H. Vainglorious      Jesus, I love that sound of that gun going off.
|
Syd Midnight      It threw me how the roar of the gun came well after the impact of the rounds, because for a moment I forgot that this wasn't a movie. Holy shit that's scary.
|
Syd Midnight I just realized, you can hear the sonic boom of the rounds as the first ones are hitting. CRAK!
|
Thatcher Pennywhistle      They really wanted to know if the guy shit himself.
I would have.
|
kiint      A-10 Warthogs are intimately familiar if you grew up in Tucson AZ near Davis Monthan AFB. They may be ugly, but the design is great because the pilot basically is just riding this massive gun, and just points the plane where he wants to rain death and destruction.
|
dr_rock      Jesus H Christ that is terrifying. I had heard the gun firing before (bbbbbrrrr) but never the impact. How fucking violent was that!!?
According to Wiki, they plan to keep them in service until at least 2028. America! (Fuck yeah!)
|
Aoi      It's the motherfucking Cloverfield. Jesus Christ.
|
Ursa_minor      The sound of that gun firing in the distance is terrifying on the most primal level.
|
Syd Midnight What's even proper onomatopoeia for that? "BZZZZRRRRRRRRT"?
|
|
|

|
kingarthur      That gun sounds like the end of the fucking world.
|
FABIO2      Eh, it's just some dust blowing around from a run that the camera mi-OHGOODGODHOLYSHIT!
|
j lzrd / swift idiot      StanleyPain wins the comments, with Syd's "Jet-powered bouncer" coming in a close second.
And holy fucking shit, the phrase "Yeah, we're cool" is our greatest cultural export to the U.K.
|
j lzrd / swift idiot Also, I love how they say "shIT!" with the octave-switchup. And of course, every team has to have that Pvt. Hudson guy in the background who screams "WE'RE FUCKED, WE'RE FUCKED, WE'RE SO FUCKED!!

Lies, lies, LIES!      Fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here.

Cursed Egyptian Sex Toy      Due to a misspelled clause in the Treaty of Paris, some parts of the United States Army are actually still at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain. Its really embarrassing so they try and keep it hush hush, but it flares up like this every now and again.
|
SixDigitDebt      I've seen those doing strafing practice in Ft. Grayling. The effect is intimidating, but it does sound like a giant fart in the sky.
