Ha! In my class today we were discussing the use of cluster bombs, and everyone was shocked by an explosion just a little bigger than that. I just sat there and said, "there's bigger out there."
Were those JDAMs? I couldn't tell..... nvm, JDAMs are bigger !BOOM! creating weapons.

Well I have one thing to say..thank the Lord the Army finaly realized hummers are "Watch your language" and they need to switch to APC's...what I find ironic is most of the worlds heavy artilary and APC vechiles are based of South African designs.

Well, HMMWV's aren't bad, it's just that they are not suited for urban combat. The Stryker fares better, but the problem with tires literally lighting on fire doesn't help....

Yeah our col showed us a vid of a bunch of idiots blowing them selves up...funny as "Watch your language". (never saw the bodys..just the video from a flying fortress that was watching them) They were planting some artilary shell..dude screwed up and blew 4 of em away.
and yes I am South African :p
The US uses the base designs of various SA design in it's tanks (I think I can't remeber on this one for sure) Many of the self porpelled howsers are South African..and thier currently working on a a new system called the G7 for the USA...out ranges all current 105mm guns, and most 155mm..also extremly light

Yeah I think maybe the idea is that it sets the atmosphere on fire?...not sure. But i am very afraid of what one of todays nukes owuld do..some of them are 1000s of imes stronger then the ones dropped on Hirosima and Nagasaki..may those poor bastards rest in peace.
O and when it finishes..if you look at the bar on the bottum theres more..some of them much better...don't know why they have sound tho 0_o

You know what weapon is guaranteed 100% accurate? A bomb. It's guaranteed to hit the ground!
One of my favorite explosions are Willy Pete detonations.

BTW, just a bit of knowledge for ya. America hasn't used napalm since WWII. We have used other incendiary munitions, such as white phosphorous (Willy Pete), but napalm.... nah.

Nah, I understand about the bombs hitting the ground, I was just making a joke, haha. Why would you rather be hit with napalm? Willy Pete will kill you quicker. Don't mean to be morbid, but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. If I was on fire with no chance of ending the pain unless I was dead, I'd pick the faster death.

Wow the underwater one was especially cool...
And I think the one in space was supposed to be a meteor not a missile. Even if the title says missile I'm skeptic. Well I should be, the earth wouldn't blow up that fast, nor would the "camera" see it so instantly...

The thing with Napalm...you can cut of oxygen and it wont burn (I believe) and a small bit will stop eventualy.
WP on the other will burn, and burn, and burn, and burn...and if you get in water...it will burn some more. Even a small little bit of the stuff will stay with you for a LONG time. Full exposure..both will kill you just as dead. little bit? I think WP will do more damage.

the only way to put WP out is to let it burn. This is why most countries have gentleman's agreement not to use on for anything other than smoke grenades.

It's used for illumination as well..artillary fires it into the sky and you can see for miles..it's pretty cool stuff.

Hmm, I didn't realize if you cut off the oxygen, napalm will stop burning. Makes sense though. I believe none of the major powers use napalm anymore, it's mainly just a few Cold War stockpiles of Willy Pete munitions. I do think that some of the smaller countries like Venezuela, maybe Pakistan, and some small asian countries still use napalm.
