The AC-130 gunship’s primary missions are close air support, air interdiction and force protection. Missions in close air support are troops in contact, convoy escort and urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted against preplanned targets or targets of opportunity. Force protection missions include air base defense and facilities defense. (U.S. Air Force photo)
You see. You run. Any questions?
Um running isn’t that smart, a friend of mine man’s the 40mm gun ( I think it was the 40mm) in one of these, you’re much better off hiding in a building and hoping it’s not designated as a target.
My favorite mission in COD4 was being the gunner in one of these. Almost makes me want to join the military.
Not really, though.
Murdering people from a far with no chance of them striking back.
Sounds like fun.

If COD4 taught me anything, the safest place to be when one of these is around is inside a mosque

I once got to call in fire support from one of these. I never saw or heard him, but it was like calling the wrath of God down from heaven. I would give a set of coordinats and everything there would be instantly immolated. Some of the targets were so close we could feel the heat from the blast.
It was definitly one of the most incredible/scarry experiences of my life. A lot of good people are alive because of what these guys do.
