Affectionately known as the Warthog...or "Hog" for short
Sure would hate being on the receiving end of that gun

Seen em working from a higher altitude...clearing out a bunch of T-62/T-72 tanks in the Iraqi desert. Talk about carnage...that gun kicks ass and takes names against ground vehicles

Is that why the Army calls for air support everytime they get in trouble? LOL...
Quick story...very good friend of mine was a brigade level ALO responsible for coordinating air support in the Iraqi western desert in '91. The Brigade Commander asked him what was available to take out T-72 tanks that were blocking the advance. My buddy called in 24 F-16's carrying CBU-87 (CEM sub-munitions)...they basically eradicated the Iraqi tanks (~18 total) in less than 20 minutes, opening a hole the line almost a mile wide. My buddy said the Brigade Commander was on his Bradley going "oh yeah...hell yeah" watching the show. He ran the Abrams through (to quote Patton...like shit through a goose) with min resistance flanking the Iraqi's...the party was over for them.
Artillery is cheap and very effective, but it takes time...if you want it taken out now...right now, you can't beat CBU.

Strangely enough the song I'm listening to says to shut the fuck up.

Weird timing.
