LAV-AD night fire, Iraq
Marine Corps light armored vehicles fit for air defense in 2003. With two four-cell pods for stinger missles a 25mm gatling gun and primary target engagement provided by the FLIR TV sight sytem, this vehicle was feared by the enemy and many fell prey to it. Hoorah, devil dogs!
Haha, Id shit my pants if my postition was getting hit with the quad pods.
@woLFpaCK03131 Yes, everbody can take turns.
@davec4liberty hey man do you know if the drivers of the lavs ever get to shoot
@ANZACS100 Because there was no air threat in Iraq, so use what you got on ground targets!
It’s an AA why’s it shooting ground targets
imagine being on the reciving end, people getting torn apart, blood every where…horrible, but cool gun though..
Thats hot
holy shit scary as fuck
Amazing!!!!
its Greatz!!!!
nahaha I got to watch it again and again..makes me smile!!
haha That is some baddass shit.. I love the sound of American Muscle… Rat-a-tat-tat up their ass!!
reports were coming out that the gun was no shit cracking the hulls. its alot of stress that hull has to take while firing that gun. also you can maintain a platoon of 25′s for the same cost to maintain one AD
the camera makes it look that way
Yeah I was on the LAV-AD during my enlistment. Shooting the 100 round burst is the best thing I have ever experienced as far as supreme power is concerned.
Too bad this vehicle variant got phased out, but mad props to the marines who used them in the initial invasion of Iraq before the LAV-AD got phased out. Much love. Ooh-rah!!
It’s an optical illusion called a “stroboscopic effect,” the same one that makes wheels look like they’re turning backward when the vehicle moves forward.
The video captures frames or images at a certain rate and can’t keep up with the rate of the images in real life. Each frame of video shows the placement of individual shells in the air, but they capture the image closer and closer to the gun barrel, so it looks like the stream of tracers is going backward.
Google “wagon-wheel effect.”
because its going so fast
why does it look like the bullets are going back into the turret when it’s firing?
that pig was is no longer in use thank you air wing
LOOL *_*
Why did they get rid of the most bad ass LAV? Love this video!!!!!!!!
Holy motherfucker of shit! That is win!
Holy fuck, look at the fountain of shell casings.
fuckin crazy!
marines still use them i flew a plane with that for a defensive weapon but i never went in combat with it.. marines say it’s stingy and is very loud and can give any postion away
FUCKING BADASS!!! we need to bring those bad boys back.
