Stopping the dreaded watermelon insurgency

Ah yes, everybody's favorite Russian. Thanks for posting that.

Two things:

1. He notes that the "Ma Deuce" has been around since World War Two. That's true of the M2 version, however the original M1921 was developed in, well... It was designed for the same purpose as the original Oerlikon 20mm, to be an anti-tank weapon, at least back when a tanks "armor" was an inch or so of standardized steel.

2. He notes that it fires 650 rounds per minute. This is true, but when you're actually shooting one it feels like it's firing at about 1/10 that fast. It feels, in fact, very much like the slow-motion scenes in his video. Odd, that, but there it is.

WTF?!

Where's this guy get his hardware? Driving an APC with a Ma duece strapped on it through a drive through?!

He's been linked here before. Check out his minigun video, or his flak gun video. Fun stuff.

I'm pondering what that APC is...it looks like a BRDM type of sorts.
