Could the 30mm gun of an AH-64 Apache penetrate and kill an M1 Abrams tank?
>>
>>29553645
It'd probably just piss it off.
>>
>>29553645
No, that's what the hellfires are for.
>>
>>29553645

Probably. Depleted uranium is a hell of a drug.

I know it absolutely skullfucked a Bradley in the Gulf War.
>>
>>29553645
It might, the top of an Abrams is pretty thin.

>>29553701
They don't make a DU 30x113mm round
>>
>>29553645
Should be mentioned, the 30mm on the Apache is more like a grenade than something like an anti-aircraft gun or what the A-10 brrts.

It's kinda shit against armor.
>>
>>29553766
too soon

>>29553645
No, but I have a better question.

Do you think if we shot a bb gun at a car the entirety of the planet's Muslim population would both become highly radicalized and 6 inches tall?
>>
Yes through the roof easily
>>
>>29553645
probably be a good way to piss off an abrams and get shot at.
as thin as the armor on a abrams roof is, the apaches 30mm is more of a anti-personnel/suppression kinda thing.

we'll goddamn make any rounds in DU if we want, especialy if someone needs an upgraded lead poisoning.

Only if friendly fire is enabled, otherwise it won't do anything at all.

>kill

i though chain gun are unjamable because they run on electricity?
>>
>>29554037
Yeah, but they don't. the M230 30mm chaingun the apache uses is low velocity. It would not benefit from DU rounds. It's really a trumped up grenade launcher.

Might as well use DU penetrators in a fucking flare-gun.

>>29554278
idk, some anon told me that chain gun are superior to gas and recoil operate because they are unjamable
>>
>>29554225
Well with a chain-gun if a round doesn't fire it gets ejected anyways. Yes because the electric motor works the mechanism, not the recoil or gas pressure of the round being fire. Same with multi-barrel guns like a GAU. It doesn't matter if a round fails.
>>
>>29553645
That's sounds like a pretty sexual scenario.
>>
>>29554340
What about failures to feed/extract?
