The only thing worse than a dragon...

Sheesh George, make'n me hungry - BBQ'd dragon...

Ya think we could make dragon leather jackets with TFL Molon Labe logos outta the leftovers? Oh yeah, just sew up the bullet holes......... I'm in!


I'll bring my FAL, a 12 ga, and a few boxes of slugs.

Libertarian:

There are 2 similar cannons for missile interception. They are both RADAR guided electric Vulcan-type multi-barrelled cannons.

They are the Goalkeeper and Phalanx. I think the former is 20mm and the latter is 30mm.

OH, Tamara!!! Break out the Jane's and help me out!

40 mm Gepard. Fast and hard hitting.

The Phalanx (CIWS, Close-In Weapon System) is a 20mm (based on the M61 series Vulcan, same as in the F4, F15, F16, F18, etc).

The Goalkeeper, last I heard, was the follow on to the CIWS. They were talking about mounting the GAU-8 Avenger (the 30mm from the A10 Thunderbolt II/Warthog) with the same radar seeker/targeting setup. Or two GAU-8 with one rader.

Oh baby.

For dragons, though, I agree with PJ11B3VF7...the ZSU-23-4 would be just about right. Harppon gun on the back of a truck...yeah, right.
