Considering that Bush just told Israel to get out of WestBank?theski wrote:Its the night before the US invasion of Iraq. Sadddam decides WTF I have nothing to lose and VX Tel Aviv. The death toll is about 250,000. The Israelis launch a single nuke on Baghdad. The Syrians and the Iranians call for a Muslim holy war on Israel, and begin to mobilize. The question is 1. Does this ignite WWWIII or just a regional conflict, or will cooler heads prevail?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Well, 25mm HE Bushmaster rounds are cheaper then Phalanx's 20mm DU as well. But those mounts can't hit at very long range. I can't wait for LPD-17, which will have several 30mm Bushmasters in stabilized turrets for anti boat usage.Mr Bean wrote:Bullets are Cheaper than Missles why I mentioned the PD gunsForgot the anti surface mod for Phalanx, RAM now also can be used against surface targets.
