- Excerpt from wikipedia "GAU-12 Equalizer" article '22/3/16:
The General Dynamics GAU-12/U Equalizer is a five-barrel 25 mm Gatling-type rotary cannon. The GAU-12/U is used by the United States, Italy and Spain, which mount the weapon in their attack jets such as the AV-8B Harrier II, airborne gunships such as the Lockheed AC-130, and land-based fighting vehicles. A lighter four-barrel version, designated GAU-22/A, is mounted on F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.
...
The five-barrel Equalizer cannon was developed in the late 1970s, based on the mechanism of the 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger cannon, but firing a new NATO series of 25 mm ammunition. The GAU-12/U cannon is operated by a 11 kW (15 hp) electric motor, or in external mounts supplied by a bleed air driven pneumatic system. Its rate of fire is normally 3,600 rounds per minute, with a maximum of 4,200 rounds per minute. For use in the AC-130 gunship, the fire rate is limited to 1,800 rounds per minute in order to conserve ammunition and reduce barrel wear.
This looks more real than any of the modern cgi clusterf*cks
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.
This is REALLY impressive for 1994 🤯🤯🤯 amazing stuff, i really like this!
I like how Harry used the side of the Harrier cockpit as a shield to protect himself from the helicopter gunfire
Man that is one hell of a 🧽 clean up
The thing I love about this harrier is that it’s not night attack or plus just the regular AV-8B harrier
theres hundreds of USMC harriers lost due to accidents , and you love this pilot killer ?
What it’s a badass plane
@Black Hat lol there is no good CAS aircraft in the western arsenal , they are weak and useless against real enemy equipped with AAA and SAM.
I never figured out how Arnold saw through the mirrored glass in the building. 🤨
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.
What a beautiful jet
90 seconds is the maximum time hovering for the AV-8B as the engine needs water cooling due to reduced airflow from not being in forward flight. The cannon runs on bypass air from the front fan of the Pegasus Turbofan engine and cannot function in hover mode. Two minor quibbles on an otherwise wonderful sequence in an awesome movie.
Who cares your analysis Einstein? It's just am action-comedy flick.
The rule of cool strikes again!
One of the best action movies of all time!
Finally a good upload, absolutely love when he kills all of them
At 0:14 i like that shot it’s like the Terminator look kill he sees the targets and terminated them
Reminds me to the Terminator 2 minigun scene at Cyberdyne. Also one of the greateast Cameron + Schwarzenegger movies.
Say hello to his big friend.
1:12 who were you expecting... James Bond?
this looks phenomenal
Not sure what's better, actually. This or the mini-gun escapade in T2. Why debate, though...just enjoy, haha. Great upload!!
I like how the 60mm bullet proof glass couldn’t even handle one 7.76mm
Those killstreaks are so annoying. They should take it out of the game.
in the street fighter alpha when we fight in a bridge this harrier appears in the scene
The "Gun" was a nozzle, fed by a propane tank with a spark plug igniting the gas. I arrived on the roof top set (20 stories up) in Miami on the Wednesday before (2 days) the film crew arrived. That afternoon Tommy Fischer's guys tested the gun at about 5:30 that evening. Such an echo throughout downtown Miami that kept going and going. Soon after they got a phone call from the police department asking that whenever the gun was to be fired, give them a heads up. I took care of the motion base that "flew" the Harrier.
Just before Aziz dies though, that must've been mad fun for like 2 seconds!
1:03 "What?! I thought I killed him!"
he be like: 👁👄👁
0:23 blew him away!!
Amazing action scene
I also like part were the helicopter can’t stand up to the Harrier The Harrier has more fire power then that puny helicopter
0:09 reference from the movie Blue Thunder
F16 on duty with Arnold!
Hope nothing was flying past on the other side of the building
GAU-12 Equalizer (25mm. Gatling gun)
it is notoriously useless in air combat and too inaccurate for ground strafing
@@lufasumafalu5069it is not
@@MiG-31893 yes it is uselesa in real combat
@@lufasumafalu5069 no I’ve seen tests
From 00:26 to 00:30 that was some bad ass shit
Imagine watching the match if TV had of been in the corner of that building and just like that boom its gone
That's one way to clear a floor 😆
In 1994 no armies in the world can stand a chance against the USA
0:12 When people talk shit about you on a forum forgetting you're also a member and can read everything they've written and lay waste to all of them! 😝 That did actually happen and I had this scene in my mind at the time 😆
This is the nerdiest metaphor I never expected to hear
@@evanstein3011 bro is Sheldon from Big Bang Theory
👍
Why the glass on his jet isn't bullet proof?
0:04 😳😳😳
Cool movie
the look of disbelief on the face of actor at 1.04-1.05..lol
Well, it is a "true lies" 😅
What's funny is that this is totally impossible, the harrier cannot fire it's guns while in a hover, or while the nozzles are anywhere but aft.
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.
Awesome movie, but still not convinced it's an Arnie role. Could see the likes of Brosnan or someone, but Arnie in a jet plane? xD
Yeah, he fits better on a horse in an elevator:-p

Without being insensitive, I've always wondered if this movie scene gave the 9/11 terrorists the idea
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.
Lol it both looks hilariously fake at times and mildly impressive for when it was.
