Bah, I posted a better one than that!

If you're talking about the Vulcan, then it's a faulty comparison, as they aren't suited for infantry deployment or tank roof armament.

i like the way FAS.org starts the description of the AN-124, says it's the largest transport aircraft in the world but not as big as the an-225

>fn brg 15, cis .50
>vulcan cannons are not man portable

neither is a brg-15, just the ammo is bad enough..
man portable HMG and GMG check the xm307 (25mm) and xm312
(50bmg), except for the ammo the're hardlier heavier than most GPMG's, well the one I use at least (fn mag 58 in canada as the C6 )

[Darth_Pugwash]

Indeed, a truely remarkable Ace! Over 500 Ruskie vehicles were reduced to smoking wrecks by his bombs! Thats pretty darn impressive!

You're right, the An-225 is a monster.

Just look at how many wheels it has on the back.

Rudel shot up so many tanks in that kite!
