Fired at up to 6,000 rounds per minute. Effective range up to 1.85km. I have 3 spent shells complete with the chain thingy that attached them together. I got them from a ship when this system was first deployed back in the early '80s. They used depleted uranium then. The shells used to glow in the dark. -- Dale G Elhardt Cypress Ca "The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle." http://home.comcast.net/~laxet/ http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=7702
