Well last week we got to fire the M242 Bushmaster chaingun on the LAVs. And the M240 Coax and M240 Pintle mount. Let me tell you something putting 20 round bursts doen range with the pintle mount is by far the most bad ass thing ive done. The damn gun was floating all over the place it was powerful. But i got to fire it on the ground on a bipod, it didnt kick much but i was tearing up some targets down range.
Now the 25 mm is a bad ass weapon. Sitting in the gunners seat looking through the thermal sights at old t-62s and t-72s and blowing them to hell with HEi-T rounds was awesome. The gun is so loud it shakes the fucking ground and if your standing behind the vehicle when its firing you know that pressure build up in your nose if you go down to deep in the water? Well you get the pressure build up in your nose from the gun firing, its an uncomfortable feeling. Simply an amazing weapon, i got pictures but i havent got them developed yet.
