Of course, this takes it to a whole new level.

Post by: Strip on June 13, 2008, 12:17:05 AM: How did they survive.....my guess would be the fact that the vehical was moving?

Most of the rounds impacted the back portion of the vehical.

Post by: eskimo2 on June 13, 2008, 06:33:34 AM: WOW!

I count 5 or 6 big holes. Some may also have entered the side windows and the tires are flat for some reason. The pilot may have had a 10% hit ratio. The side of the SUV also is peppered with divots; at least one round must have hit short and blown rocks into it.

Post by: AquaShrimp on June 13, 2008, 03:43:17 PM: F-16 20mm training rounds are solid with no explosives. During 911 an F-16 was airborne with training rounds in the cannon, and the pilot didn't think he would be able to bring down an airliner with it.

20mm HE should have totally destroyed the vehicle, not just punched a few holes in it.

Post by: Reschke on June 13, 2008, 03:47:02 PM: You can't tell me that even solid "training" rounds don't kill you just as dead as HE rounds would. Those poor bastages in the SUV are just friggin lucky to be alive.
Title: Re: SUV Taken out by an F-16
Post by: AquaShrimp on June 13, 2008, 04:51:50 PM: The whole fact of the matter that they survived with minimal injuries just shows you how less-lethal training rounds are than HE rounds. HE rounds explode.

Post by: Stixx on June 13, 2008, 05:42:09 PM: A training round will simply pass right through like hitting a bomber in the body with an AP round.

Check your auto insurance! Most regular day to day auto insurance covers a rental you may be driving. The rental insurance is a scam. I have State Farm and it covers any rental car i may use.

I'd wager all of my net-worth that F-16 training rounds would, in fact, bring down an airliner.

:aok

BTW: my net-worth is about 18 bucks...... :(
