Hell, I couldn't afford the AMMO for the thing. We had three General
Electric miniguns on the AC-47 "Spooky" gunships that I flew in Vietnam
and we carried 24,000 rounds of 7.62. 2,000 in each gun and 18,000
strapped to the floor for reloading. we could empty the airplane in a
matter of half an hour or less. Sure was effective though. :-)

And I love you for your service..and saving my young ass more than
once.

I love telling the kids in school, I'm a substitute teacher, when they
ask me if I ever killed anybody, "Yes, three or four thousand" You can
almost hear their jaws thud on the floor. :-) I do it with such a
straight face and matter-of-fact manner. It was my pleasure to assist
our guys on the ground.
