Mastering the Bush

Here's some Playboy style war porn of the MK 44 bushmaster II in action on various test ranges. What a mean gun. And just think jihadias, the MK 44 is going to be everywhere. Remember Spooky?

U.S. Marine EFV MK 44 Bushmaster 30mm Canon Test

The Mk 44 Bushmaster II is a derivative of the M242 Bushmaster cannon. It uses some 70% of the same parts as the M242. The main difference is their callibre - 30 mm vs. 25 mm respectively. Its round, 30 mm x 173 mm, covers 1,000 metres in 0.75 seconds and 2,000 metres in 1.56 seconds. The Barrel is chrome plated for extended life. It is the standard armament of the CV90s in Finnish, Norwegian and Swiss service. It is in the process of replacing the 25mm and 40mm guns on Lockheed AC-130 gunships and will be the primary armament on the US Marine Corps' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle.

MK44 Bushmaster 30mm Chain Gun

Here is some Maxim's style war porn: a Future Weapons with mack clip on the MK44 Bushmaster 30mm chain gun used in the AC-130 Spooky. This clip shows off the air burst round that explodes above the target spraying shrapnel to shred the enemy. Mack shows off its capability by punching through an 8" think reinforced concrete bunker to take out the terrorists. Clip runs 4:37

I can't embed the video from the discovery channel so here's the link:
