I think those are 25mm rounds from the 25mm cannon

[@aprilbtokyo]

@@stanvice9945 25mm rounds are bullets

[@stanvice9945]

@starryapril yes. They are. I know this because I was a CIWS tech for 6 years. The point I was making is that the video is about CIWS and CIWS is a 20mm gun that, normally, does not use tracers. And, NEVER uses 25mm rounds. I'm not sure why they added the 25mm cannon in that video.

Same gun as fighter jets - M61A1. The way it aims at air targets is really neat. Its kind of a pain to load. It's LITERALLY a robot. I worked on block 0 and block 1 mounts in the 90s.

I worked on the CIWS in the Navy in the 90s. Fun fact- the 20 mm rounds are made from depleted uranium- you didn’t want to stand outside near the gun during firing, the smoke was toxic.😮

[@stephenhoward6829]

I remember watching a live-fire against a towed aerial target when I was on CVN-70. The R2D2 got one burst off, which severed the cable from the target, which then barely missed falling onto the flight-deck. Demo-fires at night were also a fun sight, all those tracers!

Sadly those things are crazy expensive to fire. Fortunately for those of us who served on Naval warships greatly appreciated the CIWS. On a FFG7 class frigate it was our only true defense against incoming missiles and aircraft. So yea, thank you for those tax dollars to help protect us.

The mk 38 slow loader seemed more accurate at ground/base targets. Probably a better defence against shipping. The chain gun relies on volume off rounds to hit its target. Accuracy per round is actually very poor.

Also does CIWS have enough cpu power to run Minecraft with rtx on?

[@davemoger5256]

So when do they actually hit anything??

[@lewissparrow7417]

This is a 6 barrelled 20mm Gatling gun that fires 100 rounds a second and carries about 900-1000 rounds on the mount (I wonder how many reloads are carried?). It's the same gun as carried by many U.S jet fighters and yes it does fire 100 rounds a second but if you're an enemy pilot with quick enough reflexes you could possibly get out of the way because it takes a few seconds to build up to firing 100 rounds a second. The Dutch have something similar/better called Goalkeeper that packs the 7 barrelled 30mm cannon as carried by the A-10 Thunderbolt (the cannon that will knock out Tanks!) and I think I'd rather have one (or more!) of those if I was Captain of a warship in hostile waters. I can just imagine what Goalkeeper would do to any aircraft/drone/missile/boat!!!☠☠☠

[@Putinism2024]

How did the bullet bounce on water

[@grouchosays]

Who’s aiming and firing here? Where is he?

[@En1gmatic1]

So like...where and how far are those thousands of stray rounds going?

[@peegoblin8372]

These rounds explode on impact with the target, or on tracer burnout, thereby greatly reducing the risk of collateral damage from rounds that fail to hit their target.

[@sleepyrasta420]

Perfect for aircraft and pirates

[@thomasw7952]
