Oh, nevermind. This is a DCS World beta with the clouds needing more time, right?

I think it's the same stuff as in this article, so looks real enough.

I'm sure if you hold the trigger down long enough it will clean itself.

NO, not photoshopped been in a hangar when that #%&*$# went off. Definitely normal for foam.

Also not uncommon to see 3 birds in a hangar. Heck, my hangar has 5 different types of birds in it weekly.

Bad idea. Water in the barrel can cause the barrel to rupture. Which would be very dangerous with a weapon that can fire hundreds of rounds per second.

How does the A-10/GAU8 handle firing guns in rainy or stormy weather?
