I’ve always found the gunships of interest and always like videos that show the AC-130s. This is the first time I have seen this particular high definition video that shows three models: The AC-130H Spectre, AC-130U Spooky and AC-130W Stinger.



The AC-130s pack a serious punch with their firepower. For the three models in this video, here is an armaments list:
