It's comforting to know that we're not gonna let anyone steal anything dangerous. In this month's Scientific American, it talked about the danger of terrorists getting their hands on nuclear material. In Russia, their nuclear materials are stored in discs about 3" across and 1/2" thick. You can slip one in your pocket and walk out, essentially.

I started a thread on the Dugway Proving Grounds. There are no mini-guns guarding the place, but there are plenty of security checkpoints with armed guards. It's actually kind of a cool place.

the 'Phalanx' vulcan gun system or the more devastating 'Goalkeeper' Avenger gun like on the A-10 Warthog would be great defences, Although used on ships, they would bring destroying power to ground targets too.

Dont mess with 'Countermesures Gun Systems' as listed above, They are so accurate that there is nowhere to run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Once it has a lock on you, you will be shredded to chunky kibbles in no time

Carnage innit!

I dug around their video section to no avail... could you be so kind as to providing a link?



Seems like overkill though... 50 rounds a second? why would they need that kind of weaponry when they can have a few snipers around the place?
