Fun fact: When you call in support from that bad motherfricker, you see and feel the explosion on the ground before you hear the report of the shot from the plane.

One bad arse mofo, for sure...
There are some other places this beast needs to be let loose...

Not something I'd want to be on the receiving end of ever

GT, I've always wondered if the bad guys can't hear the C-130 flying overhead and that's why they seem so nonchalant walking around (until the first round hits, of course). Is the plane so high it is impossible to hear it or does it have some type of engine suppressors muffling the sound?

I think they fly at 10K to 15K, too high to hear the engines from the ground. And they only fly at night. The round travels faster than the speed of sound, so the first indication is the explosion.
When I was in Fallujah I was up on a rooftop with our forward air controller one night. We saw about 15 to 20 bad guys move across the street into a house about 300 meters down the road. The FAC looked at me and said check this shite out dude. He called up the spectre and talked him on to the house. Then the pilot shot an infrared beam down to the ground to confirm the target location. The beam was on the house next door to the target building. The FAC told the pilot "no, it's the one next door." So the beam slid over to the next and house and the FAC said "Yep, that's the one. Light it up." About a minute later 105mm artillery shells started pounding the building. Then a few seconds later you could the soft boom.......boom.......boom from the sky. It was crazy.

Thanks for the info.
Those things must have some kind of special targeting software to nail the target while moving several hundred miles/hour from 2 to 3 miles high above the ground. Impressive. Thanks again.
