Another good story concerning a bunker in Africa i believe. The bunker was thick..
However the suggestion by the weapons officer was to bounce the 105mm off the concrete entrance.. hitting the door
Crack Shots. They had to line it up. AND....Boom,....KA BOOM! Secondary explosions. BINGO! Returning to Base. There was something nasty in that Bunker. Very Nasty!

Could a Vulcan machine gun or guns clear paths through minefields. They have limited ammo...but from above or an angle they could give a spread pattern. maybe. Minefields are a tough nut to crack. Some are deep. But most are laid shallow and in haste....miles of them. Depends on the fuses. And Time. Like Rocks..some eventually get pushed to the surface.. expansion and contracting. They go off in winter sometimes. 30x30 Vulcans could throw alot of lead from 10,000 feet. Imagine.

Even a mock up. A dozen tubes...with bright red muzzles. Sitting in an airfield in Taiwan...mounted on a large plane ...sure to catch someone's eye. WHAT THE HELL is That. Just a Test.
