Well you where dressed for it.



Perhaps we can convince Detroit mayor Dave Bing to let us use a Vulcan for quick renovation?

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing aims to demolish 10,000 vacant houses during his term

M61 Vulcan

Hmmm?
10,000 buildings times rate of fire at X travers rate = WOW
That could set a new record for blight removal...

My all-time favorite nostalgic vehicle is the ZSU 23-4: made in 65, 23mm x 4, 4000 rpm, range 1.5 miles, low-profile radio, 8 track optional..just cool for the period.

The Shilka is definitely a nightmare for any helicopter or low flying plane...still, sometimes an upgrade isn't a bad thing

True but the Gundish radar spots targets 15 km out, so lots of time to see who's comin' to visit, unless they are an ICBM.

Pretty much, until the F22 arrives than its gameover.

Wouldn't firing up the radar be an instant warning to most approaching targets? (I think I remember reading that the Shilka uses a very low frequency radar that is hard to detect...not too sure though)
