Don't know what a CIWS is, but it looks like it is shooting off of the fantail of a carrier or other ship. |

Holy Shit... you could use the muzzle blast as a flame thrower to set other ships on fire.

 the background actually kind of looks like a space view of Earth. Maybe it's a new orbital phallanx system.

What kind of shuttle door gunner were you!?  All the real gunners know 30000ft is way to low.

Incredibly freakin LOUD, too. The lounge in nuke berthing on the Enterprise is just below the CIWS mount on the fantail. The first time I heard it, I didn't even know what it was. The thing fire so fast, it's just one continous BRRRRRRRRRRRRRP. I guess it sounds kinda like canvas ripping, only a million times louder. |

Yep, that's why gun based CIWS has had it's day, the speed of the newer russian ASM's, Mach 3, means missiles are needed to take them down at longer range. SEARAM is the best missile based CIWS. Andy |
