They picked a bad time for a stroll.
A-10's are some sneaky suckers when they come in low and slow from behind, scary quiet till they're right on top of you.

This would be in an Apache Helicopter, Not an A-10 Warthog tank buster jet.

I received this vid in an email. I have heard the A-10 gun, and agree that it's not an A-10 in the vid. Apologies.

Detrimental effect? If this vid would be compared to 90% of the video games available on the market to children, this would be a Muppets cartoon. I didn't intend to offend, but if some haven't noticed..... there is a war on. War is not pretty. Deal with it.

Agreed... definitely not an A-10 ... an A-10 sounds like a buzz saw when the cannon goes off.
