Viet Cong Were Terrified of the M163 'Vulcan' That Could Fire 3,000 Rounds Per Minute

Описание: In the pitch-black jungles of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army feared a sound more than artillery or napalm: a mechanical buzz that sounded like tearing canvas. They called it the "Fire Dragon." But the M163 VADS wasn't a tank, and it wasn't a standard machine gun.

In this documentary, we uncover the mystery of the M163 Vulcan from the enemy perspective. Discover why this weapon—originally designed for supersonic jet fighters—was deployed in the mud of Vietnam, how it decimated ambushes with 3,000 rounds per minute, and the terrifying realization the NVA made about its radar system. This is the story of the weapon that erased the jungle.
