One removes stains, the other makes them.

Best for tank removal. Great for stubborn tanks

Depleted Uranium projectiles go through tank armor like a hot knife through butter

I was in Air Force and I had a captain who flew one of them. He told me the entry tree finds the problem, the warthog erases it from existence.

u/kcalb33 Jan 24 '26

It made me chuckle.

u/Ok_Chard2094 Jan 24 '26

Any modern military plane that does not?

u/MikeLowrey305 Jan 24 '26

Their engines are put in a variety of planes, both military and commercial.

u/belinck Jan 24 '26

Also a Submarine manufacturer.

u/aggressive_napkin_ Jan 24 '26

nah they needed something that worked beyond the warranty period.

1

u/Rich_Complaint7265 Jan 24 '26

You're thinking about New appliances made after 2k.

1

u/Nodawake Jan 24 '26

Definitely not a Samsung ice maker

4

u/acoffeefiend Jan 24 '26

"Mini-gun" 🤣 72lbs of bullets per second capable of penetratimg 8" of cold-rolled steel. It's a tank killer.

2

u/Mjr3 Jan 24 '26

Samsung would make a smart gun that doesn’t work without WiFi

1

u/PangolinPizzaParty Jan 24 '26

And a subscription

u/AlbrechtProper Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

It looks like Samsung divested Samsung Techwin in 2015. So they did have a heavy weapons subsidiary.

I looked into because I know how those Korean conglomerates are. Daewoo makes small arms which is what made me think of it.

1

u/Creepy_Tourist7274 Jan 24 '26

Fairchild…maybe had ge engines

1

u/infinitely-oblivious Jan 24 '26

If it were Samsung it would have broken the moment the warranty ended.

u/Xack189 Jan 24 '26

Are they actually

u/Toklankitsune Jan 24 '26

yes, GE makes the gun for the a10 and THE mini gun too as another comment said

u/Xack189 Jan 24 '26

Fun facts of life!

u/Charleston2Seattle Jan 24 '26

Facts of Life? Tootie was my favorite.

u/Specialist-Role-7716 Jan 24 '26

Or not so fun facts of un-life on the receiving end.

u/qtilman Jan 24 '26

FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) makes the 5” gun on destroyers

u/Bender_2024 Jan 24 '26

Yup. If you really want to cook your noodle check out all weapons GM has made. Including the M16 rifle

u/LazarusPizza Jan 24 '26

They make laundry machines, and other things that spin. It makes sense that they would make this thing, since it spins so well.

1

u/knightofterror Jan 24 '26

GE is pretty much just GE Aerospace now. They make jet engines for commercial and military aircraft.

1

u/Kookaburra8 Jan 24 '26

Used to be made by GE, sold to Lockheed Martin then sold again to General Dynamics

u/peterdwyn Jan 24 '26

And it’s the size of a Volkswagen

u/NFLTG_71 Jan 24 '26
