Didn't both good Korea and good China (Taiwan last province of the ROChina) want this jet originally.

Yes it would be very nice to see ROCAF & ROKAF F-20s shooting down Sukois and Migs of Best China and Best Korea.

Could this be upgraded with thrust vectoring nozzles, and be able to take out MiG 29s and Su27s at WVR ?An Iranian F-5 took out an Iraqi Mig-25 in the 1980s during Iran-Iraq war (israel won LOL).

Taiwan has F-5s.
Not unless you mean the IDF fighter jet is to make up for the lack of the F-20.

Please it was just an export gun mostly in .223.
The E. German military bought a handful in .223 and 5.45 though

Bundeswehr should've adopted that instead of the G36 or at least give that 556 AK to reserve units.
Defend the fatherland from the mudslime nigs and ragheads. And open your German daughters-sister legs for Chang.

And none of the numbers really mean anything since it never got close to being built. But hey, if that's what gets you going feel free to slap on some more zeroes for even bigger numbers, it isn't like it'll be much less real.

probably just as well it was never made. rarely is one weapon so significantly evil.

Have sex

no, they wanted f-16s and we didn't want to sell them f-16s so the f-20 was born for the export market
and then the government position went "lol who gives a fuck sell them f-16s"
and then the f-20 was kill

This thing is basically an F-20.

It couldn't kill tanks from the frontal arc, but I bet CKEM could fix that.

Stupid question, but how would you reload this? It looks like the gun isn't connected to the chassis in any way

DUDE DORITOS LMAO

Fuuuuuck that'd be glorious. Here's a little-known oddity that never reached production, the 345mm XM130 SLUFAE (SUrface Launched Fuel-Air Explosive) multiple rocket launcher. Built for clearing minefields, of all things, it fired a BLU-73/B stuck on a Zuni rocket motor out of a 30-tube setup on a modified M548 (which itself is just a cargo version of the M113). Apparently it was quite effective too.

It's got a 60-round mag on there somewhere, may not be loaded for publicity shots.

See, you're thinking like somebody sane and rational from 2019. That was something in very short supply in the early '50s. Most of the planners back then were, to put it delicately, bugfuck insane.

IT WAS HER TURN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Taiwan has never operated Tigersharks, no one has.

The Davy Crockett has to be near the top of that list. Imagine using man-portable nuclear artillery in battle. It was nixed because no operator wanted to use a weapon that was liable to kill them a couple of days after the enemy, and it also risked needless escalation to big-boy nuclear warfare.

Eh, man-portable was nixed, but nuclear tactical artillery was a major component of plans and arsenals on both sides throughout the Cold War. The US had atomic shells for 155 and 203mm howitzers, plus the M65 "Atomic Annie" and a variety of tactical to theatre rockets and missiles. The Russians of course had the Scud variants among other missiles, and the considerably less useful 2B1 Oka and 2A3 Kondensator-2P superheavy self-propelled guns (that would fall apart from recoil when actually used).
