    I’ve seen this movie but cannot remember what it’s from. Is it Spartacus?

    Does yeeted mean shot at now? Does it not mean "tossed with reckless abandon" anymore?

    I hope they’ve properly licensed that character design.

    As someone to old to have grown up with the term yeet, the missuse of it here annoys me.

    The bullets get yeeted sure. But they aren't catapulting pirates off their ship with a gun on their ship.

    Citation needed, there are many pics of this one and no real reason to think it's AI. Also the fact that the pic is at least 3 years old from when AI slop wasn't nearly as convincing.

    Huh, on closer inspection I think it was terribly AI "enhanced" at some point. https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/jdadmm/minion_ciws_lmao/?show=original There's versions of it from 5+ years ago as well as ones where the barrel looks fine https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fo0qudv7ofnq41.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daa0ac0db241bcbe67a47b29fb180805f5ae58d9d

    There's also another angle also from around 4+ years ago https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/phalanx-close-in-weapon-system-1-9-scale.307034/page-3 that shows a lot of the same features matching

    i hate this era of people calling every photo taken with mediocre phone cameras and "enhanced" via simple filters by most mid phones in the last decade ai slop

    That's a phalanx gun. Unless the pirate are flying a plane, they're not getting shot by it.

    As of block 1B, they can absolutely blast surface craft.

    The current Phalanx variant (Block 1B) adds the ability to counter asymmetric warfare threats through the addition of an integrated, stabilized, Electro Optic sensor. These improvements give Phalanx the added ability to counter small high speed surface craft, aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
