Who cares your analysis Einstein? It's just am action-comedy flick.

The rule of cool strikes again!

It's a 1:1 scale model that was wobbled around on wires to simulate the Harrier's not super stable hovering ability. The most unrealistic thing here is the gun sound and the puny effects of what a 25mm HE/I shell would do to those terrorists' bodies.

In theory it could work but the harrier would run out of gas very quickly. I knew a harrier pilot and he said it couldn’t hover for very long

@@MiG-31893 no, the guns require airflow to eject spent casings so it will not fire in a hover even if you pull the trigger. And the hover duration isn't due to gas, the simple explanation is it's how long the engine can overstress itself before causing damage though there are a lot more factors in that.

​​@@MiG-31893 It has an interlock that won't allow the cannon to fire if the engine nozzles are vectored off the horizontal flight position. The reason for This is threefold: 1. The Pegasus turbofan engine will lose power and the aircraft could depart if it ingests enough gas from firing the cannon. (In forward flight the slipstream takes this gas away from the engine intakes) 2. The spent shell chute uses airflow to dump the empties overboard, ie: it can jam the ejection mechanism- which on a 5 barreled 25mm rotary cannon... a failure to eject due to shells jammed In the dump chute can be quite catastrophic, That's alot of rotating mass, and some seriously powerfull ordnance to just "stop" forcefully. 3.the muzzle blast of the GAU12 and rate of fire is stout enough that the recoil will throw the aircraft off target, you won't hit shit even IF it could be done. Most modern aircraft have teriary ground safety interlocks built into the weapons systems - like if the landing gear is down and locked the gun can't fire unless you disable the interlock (which would only be authorized to do that if you were ground testing the cannon after servicing it) other planes might have a load cell in the main gear that if the aircraft puts weight on the mains is disables the gun. The gun will fire with the gear down, but not if the plane is sitting on the gear. Primary safety is the cockpit arming switches, then the ground pins, and covers (all the little flags on a parked jet the ground guys pull before flight) and the last safety layer are automatic interlocks that disable the weapons systems depending on what condition the airplane is in. Even then there are accidents... not too long ago a Belgian F16 accidently shot up another Belgian F16 on the tarmac with its 20mm... completely destroyed it, and damaged another.

Not sure they are up for round two

Yeah, he fits better on a horse in an elevator:-p

Hmm, the first round was the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (same guys than 9/11 though who knows where they got help by alphabet agencies later, a lot of suspicious stuff happened) was February 26, 1993. The film was released 1994. So, maybe. But IRL, it's Sunni Wahabbis, not Shia radicals.

he be like: 👁👄👁

He didn't, he knew there were X number of terrorists on that exact floor (with no hostages) per the TV crew with his buddy, and just trashed the whole floor.

The most unrealistic thing is the fact the terrorists didn't get painted all across the room when Arnold fired

@@DEFC0NZER0 lol Very true. You getting hit with 20mm dp uranium shell at that range...You're pink mist for sure.

@@johnnyguitar6639 Not that it would change anything about them exploding, but the GAU-12, I think, is 25mm, even though, back in the day, I thought this would be more like 30mm 😅

@@eldritchmorgasm4018 I think you might be right about the 25mm. I think the only one carrying 30 is the hog. Might be wrong. But they still would turn into pink mist. Along with everything behind them. Wonder how they gonna explain it ,to the insurance? On the other hand, the insurance company would probably blame the building people,for letting terrorist in the door.

This is the nerdiest metaphor I never expected to hear
