BRRRRT and its gone

This was very alarming the first time I heard them go off at 3am.

The High Incendiary tracer rounds that they use cost approximately $27 a piece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-940_20mm_MPT-SD_Round

Probably costs about $2-$10 tops

The navy ones work better due to fact the rounds are point detonating instead of self detonating. Small differences made it substantially 1
2 at its job. The land base really only deflects said rounds instead of destroying them.
taqPCR
These detonate on impact as well, they just also detonate on tracer burn out.
Well you aren’t as concerned with unexploded ordnance falling on random villages while in the middle of the ocean
That is a very fair point, it's just very disappointing how much that tweak dwarfs the performance of this amazing piece of engineering
Dagordae
Different rounds for different jobs. You wouldn't be using AP rounds to shoot down rockets, your failure rate would be obscene.
dumberthanyouraveragebear
I hear they’re no match for the newer super sonic anti ship missiles
Lordmongoose
I mean they are less effective due to the reduction of the engagement window, but that's what intercept missiles are for.

Yeah I'm gonna go with HAVS on this one.
WhereIsWaldoHiding
They put some of these up when I was ther back in 2012. Walking home around 2am when its dead quiet then this f'ing thing going off 20ft 1/2
From you will make you want to change your underwear. They go off before the mortar alarms do. Thank god I wore the brown pants.

Damn I want one.
Nope these use the M61 vulcan, the GAU-8's papa.
MathewCorbett
I don't think those were there when I was there in 11' - 12'
Deployments to Iraq started in 2005.
Bagram is in afghanistan
Ah I thought you were talking being deployed generally, not specifically to that base. I was just talking about their first deployment.
Naw when I was there if we IDFs they just scrambled jets to look for them they never shot them out of the sky
The gun or the gorgeous living quarters. Neither were in 04
The gun...that looks like it's up by warrior area
We were down at the end by the mess hall. Camp Cherry-Beasley. Think they changed the name
Wouldn't surprise me though they had those style buildings at warrior and some of the other compunnds...is it by the Russian tower or >
Past the newer tower on the western side of the flightline?

Are those shells self-destructing at the end, so they don't wind up perforating a neighbourhood a few kilometres away?

Rule Number four of firearms safety: always be certain of your target and aware of what is behind it.
Seras91
Yeah, when the tracer burns out they explode
I am not sure.
Finduses
Basically flak.
Slipperyoperator
High Explosive rounds with a 3-5 second fuse, they have an inertial safety too, so they won't detonate until far enough away from the muzzle
Imgurblowsmidgets
I believe those are intercept points to ordinance.
Nope rounds detonate on tracer burn out too.
viciousintent
... who gives a shit if they round terminates on target, if you don't want this machine hitting you, don't fucking fire at it. Civilian
DomerPyle
The question was about people two towns over not involved in what's going on, not about people firing at it. Did you miss that?
BorkLocutus
EMERYCA doesn't give a damn about them honestly.
Unfortunately there opposite, which is why we endanger us troops to save one civilian casualty. People's feelings here would change quick
If they risked casualty to their families
Personnel who refused to evacuate have chosen their risk.
StankyPankySammich
Umm. Where are the extremely poor civilians supposed to evacuate to there chief?
If you have been to the poor in those regions you would understand that it would take a few hours to move, but cry about your college bills
From your $500 smart phone
Do you have a place to house the tens of millions of civilians you are going to be evacuating from Afghanistan?
Do you have a spare room for the terrorist to make it easier to hunt?
Or maybe we can host the civilians in your home and your families homes while war is conducted.
So you have no answer then. You blame the victims as if you gave them a choice.

It's a good thing that massive spray of shells is precisely targeted at the source of the incoming artillery, otherwise your comments are
dumb. Incidentally, how exactly do they manage to angle it so that it not only can intercept the incoming rounds but also hit the source?
ShouldaWouldaCouldaMadeABetterUsername
They're designed to explode after a set distance and the resulting detonations are supposed to fragment and destroy the incoming 1/2
rocket/mortar or to knock it off course. 2/2
Plaguestorm172
This one^ Its called flak, its used for air combat, cause hitting a moving target is hard from far away, so easy way to fix that, fire lots
but issue is guns like that, like the shotgun spread out too much, so what do you do? make it explode when its near its target, that way-
its like a shotgun... but for long range!
Nope they detonate on impact or on tracer burn out. No variable time or proximity fusing is used.
idontknowhowthissiteworks
This. They are tracers and when tracer is done it self destructs to prevent raining thousands of rounds down on a town.
thatgotoutofhand
How does it know if the shell is the right distance away? Radar?
Prowler2142
Tech was invented back in WW2, look up proximity fuses.
I'm not sure about that exact 20mm round, but most ammo like that has a fuze that detonates it after a set flight time. Combine that 1/2
the other science-y things on the C-RAM and the guns know where to shoot so the rounds will explode near the incoming rocket/mortar
SonderingStrike
Yes, RADAR. More specifically doppler shift, as you need to know where the shell will be, moreso than where it is
While the principles people have mentioned are real these detonate on impact or tracer burn out. They lack variable time or proximity fuses.
DildoRodeo
CRam rounds have fuse time you can tailor.
MushroomFiend
There's a radar rangefinder. It programs each round to detonate after a certain amount of time corresponding to the distance.
Nope.
