Man whoever wrote that article apparently wasn't aware that Albania sided with the Chinese in that whole "Sup, Mao Zedong wants to be the leader of world communism" thing during Khrushchev's time in power. It is true that the nuclear subs down near Corfu are Russian in design and manufacture, but there was plenty of time between Russia's development of a shipborne reactor and the time of the communism leadership split.
Whatever the case, I am going to the U.S. Embassy to hang with the Marines, we are taking their weapons and armored vehicles down to Corfu, and we will be waiting there until somebody can come with that sub restoration gear.
Nodaisho is right about the GAU-8. Seriously? The recoil of that motherfucker is equal to the thrust of one of the two engines on the airplane it's mounted on. You're not going to find anything more perfectly suited for pink mist.
Nodaisho:
Actually, I don't think it is quite that powerful, I am pretty sure I remember reading that was an urban legend. But still, that thing is a tank killer. It might not pink mist with one shot, but it fires at 3900 RPM, so it will have enough to do so on any given target. I guess usually, it does 3 to 1 incendiary to high explosive, but I think the high explosive would be big enough to blow apart a few zombies each, assuming a mass of them. And... while I am leery to overstate the capabilities of a gun, due to seeing it done frequently (no, the 5.56 doesn't "explode", the .45 won't knock someone flying, a handgun hole in an aircraft won't cause explosive decompression, and a .50 rifle will not shoot down an in-flight airplane from the ground), but I think that in some cases, the 30mm might actually tear a zombie in half, the part with arms would still crawl forward, but it would move even more slowly, and the incendiary would have even more time to do its pyromania-inducing work.
Patrick:
The urban legend was actually that the gun would stop the plane in mid-flight. That part is definitely crap. It does, however, equate ONE of the two engines, slowing it down pretty heavily. I'd be more concerned about the thing overheating than I'd be worried about being stopped by the recoil.
Seriously though? The sheer mass of those depleted uranium rounds from the GAU-8 are enough to destroy one of those battle tanks with about 20 rounds (about a millisecond burst, amirite).
We're talking about a goddamn 1.25" thick, 3" long piece of depleted uranium coming at you faster than the speed of sound. That and the fire rate doesn't make the gun go "BANGBANGBANG", it just makes it go "BVVVVVVVVDDVDVDVDVVVDVVDVDD" really freaking loudly. This thing is MORE than capable of putting a stop to zombie hordes of up to 3,000 with just one load of ammunition.
tl;dr if we can get hold of an Air Force base with A-10s when the zombiepocalypse hits, I got dibs on the first one. I don't have my pilot's license yet, but I've flown before, and I am more than certain I can get this thing off the ground and back on it safely while getting rid of some undead scum.
Nodaisho:
You can have it, just don't scratch the paint, and try to remember which mass of people is us.
I call a good rifle with a scope, a pair of binoculars, and a lot of ammunition, I would just sit on top of the tallest building I could find. Probably a radio too, so I could call it in if I saw anything.
KharBevNor:
I tell you man, the last people standing are going to be me and the rest of the vikings.
We'll have a beer for you atop a mountain of corpses after we've cleansed the world.
