In case anybody's interested: the aircraft used in this scene is tail number 69-6573, and was named "Heavy Metal", and it was a genuine AC-130-H. It has since been retired, and last I heard, is sitting at Davis-Monthan AFB. And yes, the crew could fire the 105 as fast as they did in the film. I was a crewmember on one of her sister ships. :)
Only scene I think that can compare, is from the film "Final Countdown", film about a modern aircraft its transported back in time to December 6 1941, and two fighter jets take on two Japanese zeros. Great film.
@@evanbingesYT96 Close: H-models had 4 types of weapons: two M-134 and two M-61 gatling guns, one Bofors, and one 105. The previous A and E-models had two Bofors, and the 105 was originally mounted on the lower cargo door, facing rearwards, totaling 7 weapons. In Vietnam, the early A-models had a 75mm gun, but it was found to be "insufficient".
I think this is the scene in the movie that really proved to the Decepticons that they could be hurt by our weapons...even they can't withstand a 105mm Howitzer cannon, apparently. This scene gives me absolute chills
In the Egyptian campaign, Megatron is also shown to not be able to withstand the M1 Abrams main cannon. Several of them hold the line against him and send him retreating.
Strange to think that watching this scene as a 10 year old is what really made me think that I wanted to join the military when I grew up. Now I'm on my way of commissioning in said Air Force.
This plane is in Dayton, Ohio now at the National USAF Museum. Its now a retired plane going to the museum but it is still cool to see it up close. It also has been in several other movies like Iron Man.
It sounds stupid, but I saw this movie a second time in theatre just for the AC130 shot. Later I wasted a bunch of my life playing MW2; possibly related
My dad is 84 years old and he worked on the c130 when he was in the air force in the 60s he was also overseas in Greenland when president Kennedy was assassinated . Every time dad sees that plane fly by or in movies i can see he remembers his time serving our country like it was yesterday
They did. The tracers from the forward end are from the GAU-12 minigun, the rapid firing tracers from the back half are from the BOFORS 40mm, and the slowest firing tracers coming out are from the M102 Howitzer, the 105mm artillery gun mounted to the cargo plane.
If only Bay was as good at choreographing the robot fight scenes as he was for this. The camera isn't head banging or at idiotic angles and crops. The AC-130 is in frame and you can clearly see what it's doing.
Met the crew of Heavy Metal during an Airshow at Davis Monthan. Had a bunch of spray painted stick figures (1 stick figure equals 15 kills), with an Autobots symbol spray painted on the side.
Hey, thanks! I once flew with a Chinook and that two-engined monster was like a flying railway car. So I guess they stuffed lots of guns in it, did they? Anyway, I´ve seen my share of videos about the AC-130 here on RUclips and it IS an impressive bird. Thanks again ;) .

I love this scene. Only a few problems... I'm a gunner on Spectre gunships. Therefore I know that: 1. "105mm Sabot rounds" do not exist in our inventory, to my knowledge. 2. The guns don't shoot that fast. Especially the 105mm. lol Otherwise, awesome :D
Somewhere at AFSOC, a video exists of an H-model crew being timed while firing their 105: it was a contest to see if they were faster than a Marine crew on the ground: I think the aircrew fired at something crazy, like 22 RPM!!! They posted it on Facebook about 6 or 7 years ago. Hell, if you can find the gunship documentary that Speedvision did back in the late '90's, they had a video clip of an A/E model pilot firing a M-61 off the coast of Ft. Walton, and he was writing his name in script with the rounds as they hit the water - he was that good!!! Keep in mind that this was one of the early ships, where the PIC had to steer the aircraft to aim the weapons. The things some of the early crews were capable of, is the stuff of legend.
Did anybody else play the AC-130 Operation Devastation PC game? I was able to play it free with a Gamefly subscription i had years ago. It was kinda fun. Nothing like the ones in CoD, but still satisfying.
Sabot, not signal. Sabots in a 105 are anti-tank rounds consisting of a flechette (think armor-piercing dart) inside a casing (the sabot) which allows it to travel through the barrel.
That's definitely not the 105mm. It's shooting way to fast and the power being delivered is no where near what the 105mm can do. it sounds like the 30 mm cannon on the whiskey gunship is constantly firing and a 40mm bofors that's on the spooky is the the one firing every 3 seconds. Either way it's a motherfucker of a gunship. love the spooky. BRING THE RAIN!!
Hunter Gant Did you notice gunship is firing two different rounds? The one with faster fire rate is probably 40mm.And the one with slower fire rate is 105mm.

Only problem with this scene is the crew are firing SABOT.....

They even threw a decepticon kill marking on it! aviationhumor.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Decepticon-Kill-Markings.jpg
The noise as it fires is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever heard. It sounds beautiful.
Big gunship sounds haha
@In1go_ Hearing the 105 go off Is killer.
What you call beautiful. I call the sound of death. Be it justified or not.
some of the finest military porn in cinema history
Michael Bay totally agree😎💥
Oh hell yeah the way that ac 130 sounds when it shoots OOOOOOO ive never heard a more sweeter noise than that

That AC-130 is a Beast!!!
All AC-130 are badass
Duuh, it an AC-130
The AC-130 in this movie is possibly the greatest adaptation of the airplane ever in movie history
The Harriers in True Lies were great. And The 2023 movie The Covenant has a great AC-130 scene at the end too.
@@elrey8876 that scene from Covenant is a joke compared to this. They took AC130 footage directly from youtube.
its weird that i always get goosebumps lol
Whack VA no, its normal. I get freedom boners due to the fact that we actually have this weapon.
Zee Captain Freedom boners? You must be hella white.....
Dani Coni what's wrong with that, Also please learn proper english.
Also if you had half the brain you would realise its a figure of speech.
For me it is the entire scene.....especially hearing all the military code talk and such. (Not sure how else to put it)
I remember seeing this in theaters. This was by far my favorite part of the movie... the bass from the cannon shots rattled my seat lol
First movie I ever saw in IMAX, the sound hits you like a truck
Decepticons: “enemy AC-130 above!!”

Replace the cons with ISIS terrorists and you've got pure gold in this clip!
i love the sound of the guns firing
Watching this again since 10 years ago gives me nostalgia because as a kid I loved the plastic models of this plane. And my dad helped my build it.
This is so satisfying to watch!
AC-130: the most deadly, high profile close attack ever. In 50 meters attack radius , 5% survival chance to enemy
This short little segment is what got me to watch this movie another time in the theatre. Very cool; Bay knows how to showcase militaryporn
My Friend once asked me.
"Why does that plane have such a ludicrous name as spooky?"
My answer "Because even God gets chills when he sees it"
Anarchy Empire cheesy af

“Death from Above.”
plot twist ac130 is a decepticon
BROKEN ABUCUS oh shit
Plot twist for your plot twist....its also an sjw...
It dosen't transform
You need the shard to make it a transformer
Lol I was expecting a decepticon to scan it transform and take out the human piloted AC-130
The Deception being Lugnut
If he said "Spooky" it is the AC130U Spooky II gunship. The AC130H has just recently been retired..(after the movie was made of course)
Combat controllers probably have this as their top aircraft to call in
This was amazing. I'm not in the military and I had no idea this existed
Delta force: Bring the rain!!!
Overlord: Spectre 2-5 this overlord actual, friendly ground forces are engaged against hostile forces and are requesting 105 sabre rounds.

The best Transformers movie
I didn't know the AC-130 could tilt THAT much.
best part of the movie. something real occured.
Scorponok had the bad luck of being the target of one of this deadly machines.
The music you hear when the announcer says "enemy AC-130 is inbound"
Met the crew of Heavy Metal during an Airshow at Davis Monthan. Had a bunch of spray painted stick figures (1 stick figure equals 15 kills), with an Autobots symbol spray painted on the side.
The angel of death.
I just love any movie that shows that advanced races can in fact be hurt by earthen weapons.
Not much can take a hit from a sabot round howitzer.
The legend says that one of those was needed to kill chuck norris
Yeah was just legend. It really was needed to give him a close shave a razer can't give. Cant believe every legend
Chuck Norris kills one of those

"Um this is hardcore and you're on its path"

Each time a round of the AC 130 goes off my ears have an incredible eargasam that nothing can replicate
Those 105 rounds don't play games. Love you Jesus! Love you big mike!
I love how derp the 105mm sounds but the 40 mm sounds manly
Have not seen the AC130 in the movies much... so hot seeing that big bird do that pylon turn!!! Go Spooky!
@Tjechi its firing the 105mm and the 40mm at the same time, the louder bang is the 105mm
that was epic scene in my life.

This is the AC-130U Spectre, "Spooky" was the Douglas AC-47 used in vietnam
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the 105 mm cannon shooting a bit fast other than that I just love this scene
It was shooting the 40mm canons along with the 25mm because there were soldiers to close to the target so a 105mm would’ve killed the us soldiers
This scene is more impressive in the movie theaters or on a TV with a great surround system LOL.

Thats exactly how an impact of a 105 sabot would look, since SABOT carries no explosive charge, there will be no kaboom
Thats because it is accompanied by a 40mm bofors watch carefully again
Not to sound mean but I don't care. It's cool as fuck lmao.
But legit thanks on the education
