A-10 Warthog

An A-10 warthog shooting live rounds from the 30mm GAU cannon. The initial, sharp sound is the bullets going supersonic and the secondary, growling sound is sound of the actual firing arriving later. Recorded at the Hardwood Range (Volk Field ANG base, WI) during the 2011 live-fire demonstration.

Really high quality sound. Slowed this down and it really makes great noise for music.

I will say that just being in the presence of that sound would probably be an effective deterrent for anyone who might consider doing something that might put them on the business end of a GAU cannon. Just experiencing it occurring in the vicinity without even seeing the effect is *truly* terrifying.
