F-16 takes out tyranical suburban!! – SportsCarForums.com
Sobering shot of an SUV that got lit up by mistake, by an F16 driver near the air-ground gunnery range outside Dugway, Utah. The ‘light paint and body damage’ is the result of a one-quarter-second burst by the fighter’s 20 mm gun, which fires about 3000 rounds per minute. An estimated 70 rounds left the gun; the results are as you see here.

Geez.  Read the article for the occupant injuries (survivable).  Friendly fire isn’t.

  1. Shocking!! I hate SUVs. But I wouldn’t do that. The F16 probably guzzles more fuel, which of course is costlier, in a day than what the SUV would in a month.

  2. Murphy’s Laws of Armed Conflict

    Frendly fire isn’t
    Suppressive fire doesn’t
    Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you
    Tracers work both ways. (BOY do I know that one!)
    Things that must be shipped together as a set, aren’t.
    Things that must work together can’t be carried into the field that way.
    Never hide behind an odd shaped object, odd shaped objects draw fire.

  3. the f-16 will actually burn around 23 gallons a minute at full military thrust military thrust is with the afterburners on and maximum thrust reffered to as dry thrust is without the afterburners.
    i only know this stuff because i just finished a school to work program for a highschool class where i get to go and work on f-16’s for 16 weeks.
