What they and you saw was something else, as Bohica noted From wikpedia: Unlike the smaller 25 mm round, the 30 mm is not typically an anti-personnel weapon round. Instead, the 30 mm round is generally either an anti-materiel or armor-piercing round. Rounds of this size can be effective against armored vehicles including some capability against Main Battle Tanks and also used against fortified bunkers.

The Mahdi's don't have Apaches after all, so how fair is it of us to use them? I thought for a brief second about having conflicting thoughts on this and only came up with, "I hate taxes, but it's damn nice to see my money put to good use." Wiping out as many of those murderous scumbags from the air as possible before ground troops move in is definitely proper use of my tax money.
