    The model of the AC-130 that has the big cannon, the 40mm cannon and gatling gun is known as the Spectre like you mentioned. There was one used in Vietnam that had just gatling guns and it was called Puff the Magic Dragon.

    The Genesis Of The Gunship Concept Can Be Traced To The USAAC Use Of B-25 Bombers Modified To Fire The Same 75mm Gun That US M-4 Sherman Tanks Used During World War II

On another note; take note American enemies, DONT POKE THE BEAR! It makes my blood boil that all the forces that went over to fight for those who couldn't fight for themselves, and now that our troops are going home,, those same people will be oppressed once again. However, the Taliban weren't laughing while allied forces were there. Bunch of cowards.

    There's an issue with that BOFORS 40mm, it is an aging weapon and simple repair parts are becoming harder to get, there is talk of eventually having to replace it with something more modern. Back in WW2 those BOFORS 40 Quads with it's sophisticated (for the day), integrated fire control system simply shot down aircraft.

      There was a good-sized inventory of the Swedish Bofors up to and through Vietnam, if they haven’t been demilitarized. About the time of the Korean War, two 40mm were mounted in a cupola onto the M41 Walker Bulldog tank chassis. These continued in use through Vietnam as the M42, and usually were referred to as “Duster.” The Army had as many as it could collect and stored in Depots, so I’m sure the Air Force has collected whatever was left.
