Anti-Everything Cannon

That "gun" is a 20mm Phalanx normally put on warships, however, we now use it for counter RAM (rocket artillery mortar). Nothing says respect like 3000 rounds per min ( http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/weaps/mk-15.htm).

The russian navy has a similar system : AK-630
A bigger calibre of 30 mm and an astonishing rate of fire of 10000 rpm :mrgreen:

Its firing bullets, but don't know which caliber?? 20mm?

As said its normally seen on Warships, like aircraft carriers. Thats because if a missile is locked on the ship it can take out the missile with this gun. more effective then taking a missile out with a missile :wink:

Yep thats right, even we have some of these on our navy ships in holland (not that we ever use them or anything).

I want one on the roof of my house. Or you can buy a hummer and put this thing in it haha, or in your 360 spider, that would be funny (or not).
