This is what you might call the business end of an Apache helicopter; the M261 launcher, which houses Hydra rockets until they’re fired. This is an essential part of the Apache helicopter if your primary mission is to fire rockets at people, which I can only assume is probably the primary mission at least some of the time.
This one is tied for favorite of the recently posted air show pictures from last year’s show. I’ll put up the final in this series soon. Then you can tell me which of them is your favorite. And I’ll tell you if you’re right or wrong.

Technically, I think rockets would be fired specifically at buildings, tanks and other machinery. Some sort of mini-gun would be fired at people.
ReplyDeleteWell you're probably right; but there are probably people in those buildings, tanks, or other machinery.
ReplyDeleteAnd based on Goldeneye on N64 and those Halo type games, I'd say firing rockets at a person is pretty normal.. At least firing them near a person is.
