So, I'm lucky enough to work in a trailer across the street from a Gatling gun like the one you see above. If you'd like to read the details, go to: http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/rtnwcm/groups/rms/documents/content/rtn_rms_ps_phalanx_datasheet.pdf
The problem with where I sit is they don't tell us when they are going to test fire the gun. I can't really describe the loudness and suddenness of the gun. During the first split second, my heart stops and I jump up out of my chair. Then, my brain catches up and processes what I'm hearing. By then, my heart is racing and everyone in the office lets out a few choice words. The whole event is over in 3-4 seconds, but I feel the effects for at least 10-15 minutes.
Makes life interesting, at least.
124 days to go.
