[@flyboy38a]

As a former Naval officer myself, I have always though that these gun took too many rounds before they hit their targets. I feel that they should be replaced with at least a 40mm gun with timed detonation rounds so that all you have to do his aim near the target and have the round detonate at that location, sending small pieces of shrapnel in all directions. From this video you can see that the rounds would have detonated very close to the target, eliminating it within just the first few rounds fired. This would limit the amount of time an attacking vessel would have to launch its weapons before it was destroyed. The sooner your enemy is dead, the less chance he has of inflicting damage on you.

[@Luigi13]

That is indeed a good observation, these videos are showing a lot of wasted ammunition.

[@grunyonthoughtsfromagrunt8264]

Lol.. have no experience with these on Navy ships. But some on the Bradley it's a darn good gun. One thing he didn't mention that makes thus such a good gun fr a variety of targets is you can simultaneously feed it with both HE and AP rounds. It's basically a chain fed automatic Cannon. And you have what's called feed chutes in both sides of the receiver. You just hit a switch and it will go from feeding from one side woth one type of Ammo to the other side. The fire control system also adjusts for the ammo change because the ballistics of the 2 rounds are different. Almost a Perfect weapon system for small attack boats especially considering you got the different types of ammo you can literally change in the fly while actively engaging a target. Which can be very useful depending on what type of target(s) you are engaging.

When I was in the Navy, I observed that we routinely discarded a lot of copper wire that had been used to bind lagging (thermal insulation) to the steam pipes used throughout the ship. I collected several pieces of this copper wire, with the intention of turning it in at a recycling plant for money. When my Lead Petty Officer found out what I was doing, he told me to throw the copper wire back in the trash. He said that we have an agreement with the trash collection companies at the ports where we moor, so they can sort through the trash and do what they wish with it. However, that applies only when we are in port. When we are at sea, we don't save any of the trash. Dumping trash at sea is illegal, so we conduct "float tests," to determine if it is possible for this material to float. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Regardless, Navy vessels don't have room for collecting waste material.
