Here is a sales video for the Bushmaster. There is a short clip of the action operating about 3/4 the way through.

if you can get them for about $10k then they can compete quite nicely with the Barrett

would look very nice roof mounted on my Tacoma

I wonder if a nice MK19 might be nice vs these shitheads? Some area effects might do some good.

I'll guess 10K will get you a fairly simple mount for one.

Looks like $24.2 million for 21 systems with spares. If I'm reading this right that's over $! million per gun.

Yeah the MK38 Mod 0 was expensive, it included the Gun, ammo box, Computer box, Battery box (and one backup battery)....the mount was a separate cost.

And the ammo was separate too..

But it's bad ass... to explain...if engaging a helicopter at ~1 mile....there is no lead...BOOM, tango down!

We had one when we switched from 20mm Oerlikon cannon to the MK38 and it was wayyy slower, but one hit with HE was all it took....

What were those rounds that were ricocheting off of the water?
