I could only imagine what this sounds like in person up close.

It used to be called the CIWS (close in weapon system) used in the Navy and designed by General Dynamics in the 60's. I maintained one on the USS Enterprise and another on the USS Stump. They shoot 3400 rpm. Pretty cool!

@Ricky Robyn There's two limits on what it can shoot: It needs to detect it and it needs to react quickly enough to fire. So hypersonic missles are probably out. Drones would absolutly get shredded as would most guided missles, that's what they're originally designed for after all. (Phalanx CIWS)

Also the C-Ram uses a different shell thant the Navy ship mouinted version, its a tracer schell which selfdestroys after the tracer burns out (the tracer is pretty much the fuse). Thats neceassay since the shell would be a danger of its sorroundings which on open seas is less of a concern.

I don't understand where they get this $30, 40, 60K to down a missile or mortar rocket. I call BS on that. If I remember correctly, doing CIWS live fire exercises in the Navy, the ammo drum held maybe 1000 rounds. That is 10 boxes of 20mm ammunition. for a TDU shoot, we would upload...I'll say 4 or 5 boxes at most... 2000 rounds / minute, that is 33 rounds per second, and based on this video... and life experience, an engagement lasts 10 seconds at best... we are talking 300 rounds fired...that is $100 / round based on $30K per engagement. IDK, that better be a very charming 20mm round.

@@michaelmondt3055 well, the alternative I was considering was a mortar falling inside the perimeter and killing Americans. But yes, due to the absurdly high fire rate, and the (in)accuracy per round, you’re going to spend some lead (or he rather) to down a mortar or missile in this type of spray and pray system. Still a sight to behold when one spins up.

I have a funny story about these. My favorite spot to watch sunsets at sea was a small weather deck under the port/aft CWS mount. I would go there on my dinner break and have a smoke while watching the sunset. The hatch that goes out to the deck had a flashing red light that indicated the gun was hot and not to go out. Well, they never turned it on. I am standing there, 15 feet away from that monster when it opened up and let out a 1000 round burst. No hearing protection. I thought it was the End of Days. The noise that thing makes is stunning. My adrenaline glands pumped a quart into my system and I felt like I was high. I cannot explain using words what it was like. But I have a CWS story I can tell my grandkids.

A plane would tow a big, red aluminum balloon on a 1,000 foot cable, we called it the killer tomato.
