Hi MM,

Allow me to formally welcome you aboard our growing community of gun/ shooting addicts! Hope you have a pleasant stay here... :)

Regarding the ROE... well we unfortunately have had some rather unpleasant "action" here, hence the rules, etc.... If everyone behaved like gents, we'd be more than happy to do away with any and all formal rules..

Cheers!
Abhijeet

Hi MM,

welcome to IFG.... about time too!

Time we had a fly-boy here...getting too crowded with grunts :mrgreen:

When are we getting representation from a sea-dog...or a submariner?

You out west? The EAC is here in my town.

What I'd like to experience or perhaps try is 'zeroing' the 30mm GSh6 cannon on a Mig27 on the ground. I've only seen pics (not IAF) of such post-overhaul firing from a special hangar that opens out to some dead ground.

The experience would be more intimate and ethereal than firing it in the air.... :) .... I can imagine letting it rip at those insane RPMs

Yup...ADEN... I think its still in use in the Harriers and Jaguars right? IAF still uses ADENS?

I personally think HS Hunters are the epitome of what a good aircraft should be... traditionally speaking. Though I've only seen them flying or on display, but I'm a big fan of jet aircraft of that era... never mind all the modern gizmos.

Wait........don't tell me, :? it's the one on the A 10 Warthog, innit? the 30mm GAU Gatling? i think the airframe was balanced round it?
