Helicopter Friday

Happy Friday!

Best weather in a long spell. I stood in a river in sleet making a fool of myself the other day and tried to play it off as "fishing".

Kenny sent this video link of some F-18 material.

His name is Jerry Barber, he is a Piney (Tennessee) and he is a patriot and a genius. God Bless Him!!

His AA12 recoiless automatic shotgun is amazing.



In order to sell it to the American military he has gotten creative and married it to robots, including a remotely controlled helicopter...very cool:

"The 27 Mb video of the AutoCopter Gunship (with AA12 12-gauge Full-Auto Shotgun) is available for download from a specially set up FTP site. Click on this link - ftp://www.neural-robotics.com. Once you do that, a window will pop up that requests a login ID and a password. The login ID is autocopter and the password is gunship. If the FTP site doesn’t load correctly the first time then simply hit the "refresh" or "go" buttons on your browser and it should load without a problem. You can copy the AutoCopter_Gunship.mpg file from the FTP window site to your desktop (You can perform a "drag and drop" or "copy" and "paste"). Again, this video (link above) is of an AutoCopter Gunship Live-Fire Test (with AA-12 Full-Auto Shotgun attached, loaded with an 8-round box mag)."

I am no longer seeing the site set up in the above manner. I think this is the video here:

At the end of their video link.

Here is a New Yorker abstract of an article on this unique inventor.

Last but by no means least, God Bless those who serve, and in particular those who fly and deploy on Monday and their families.
