- Eheheheheeee
Does yeeted mean shot at now? Does it not mean "tossed with reckless abandon" anymore?
- If you get hit by any projectile fired from that phalanx, your body will definitely be "tossed with reckless abandon."
  
  In various directions at once, no less
- The implication being that they're being yeeted into the afterlife.
- Tossed with reckless abandonment sounds like a fun time.
- I assumed the punishment for piracy was no longer "walking the plank" but now "riding the shell".
- Noted
THE PENIS IS BAD, THE GUN IS GOOD!
That's a phalanx gun. Unless the pirate are flying a plane, they're not getting shot by it.
- It can shoot boats.

  TIL thx
  
  god you really can't feel the scale of these things from just the picture. that is insane. also BA NANA
- 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).

- Not with that attitude.
Damn, undress that CWIS, I gotta see her curves. Such a sexy platform.
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.
  
  they aren't catapulting pirates off their ship with a gun on their ship.
  You misunderstand, they are yeeting the boat and everyone aboard from this plane of existence.
  
  Not with that attittude they aren't
- Strangely hard to find volunteers willing to serve papers to a CIWS - they tend to have an extremely persuasive way of responding to bad news.
- It’s AI slop
  
  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.
I can hear the maniacal laughing.
