HOLY SHIT!

What was that?

^munitions ID please.

it sounds propelled when it's approaching

It was just posted as a video on ebaumsworld. I have no idea what it is.

[_-Gunslinger-_]

I would be willing to bet that that was some type of bunker buster. You know the ones that burrow into the ground via rocket propulsion and a tough nose cone and then exploderize 50 ft under?

[MrShooter]

HOLY SHIT!

Im just gonna guess...

Bunker Buster?

It looks a LOT like it was designed to kill anything 5-30 feet under the ground.
:eek:

Even satan is amazed :doh:

EDIT: aww...gunslinger beat me to it.

It's definitely not a bunker buster, since it exploded on contact. Bunker busters will have slight delay before exploding. Plus, if you look at the crater, it's definitely one produced by munitions exploding on the surface, not below. It's probably a standard GBU bomb with a high explosive yield.

This has been posted before, and we had a similar conversation about what type of bomb that was being used.

.22 rimfire, reloaded by me.

[StrangeFellow]

good god that a big hole :eek: :doh: :jawdrop:

[EarlyDawn]

I've seen that one before. I don't recall anything other then that it was a JDAM or whatever those are called. Don't know size or type.

[MrVicchio]

Its a penetration weapon, probably GPS guided, with a shaped charge to explode down and out. Its aimed to blast the top of underground bunkers, or caves. Its not a deep penetration weapon, those have up to a 2 second delay. But that was most ASSURADLY a penetration weapon. US Bombs tend to detonate about 2-10 feet above thier targets. This flattens the target, AND does heavy blast radius damage.

Most of the weapons used in the recent Iraq War were penetration weapons like you just saw. They do massive damage to teh target but little surrounding damage. This has the advantage of allowing the military to say, hit a building but not do any real damage to surrounding buildings. This lowers collatereal damage while maximizing the hit on target.

Saw that on military.com a little while ago. pretty cool.


we should put that on the news saying "Try doing THAT with a pack of dynamite on your chest!"

I crapped my pants. :doh:
