Yes because as you can see, the gun of the AC-130 is really scary. The AC-130 is a spooky aircraft because as it fly in the air it can open fire and attack ground targets. It's gun is really freaky.

A few examples: 1. Ship builders had to recondition for war the WWII Iowa class battleship USS New Jersey for gunline duty in Vietnam. As well as repair guns on worn cruisers and destroyers. And repair battle damaged aircraft carriers such as the Enterprise and Oriskany which suffered massive (and fatal fires). 2. Automobile manufacturers built and repaired new M48 Patton medium gun tanks; General motors built brand new, and the final US Army "light tank"...the M551 Sheridan which was immediately fielded in Vietnam in 1969...over 1,500 were built. 3. Litterly THOUSANDS of M113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles) were...and still are being built/or re-manufactured (updated). 4. Millions of bullets and the brand new M16 Jungle Rifle (originally intended for fighting only in Vietnam) were being built. 5. The US Navy Swift Boat was built in the state of Louisiana; the new PBR (Patrol Boat River) was built in the state of Washington; the new all steel Alpha boat (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boat) was built in the state of Oregon. 6.

Food companies (C Rations) and clothing companies (uniforms), as well as medical companies had to supply their products as well.
Yes, the AC-130U Spooky is the biggest gunship.
Let's spend some tax money honeys
AC130 appears to be a type of weapon or aircraft or something, not a laptop. A lot of Modern Warfare Three websites talk about the AC130, and all there is is discussion about laptop skins, not the actual laptop.
The ac-130 gunship is a variant of the C-130 Hercules, and has been modified in many more ways to suit more specific roles as needed. It cannot be regarded as an invention, more a development of a range of technologies into a product.
You can't choose to deploy flares, it does it on its own. The AC-130 Gunship has two sets of flares to counter missiles.
That's a ridiculous comparison, they are completely different aircraft with different roles. Both are excellent at their designated task.
The AC130 was a modified C130 (Hercules) cargo plane. The A stands for attack, the C stands for cargo and the 130 is the aircraft designation. The AC130 spectra or spooky was commonly refereed to as "Puff the magic dragon" There are different types of AC130's depending on what guns they carry. "Puff the Magic Dragon" carries 6 .308 caliber miniguns while the Spectres carry two miniguns 2 40mm cannons and a 80mm howitzer.
the ac130 already has infinite ammo.
Many Anti-Aircraft missiles find their targets based on heat. If an AC130 deploys flares, which are hot, the missiles follow them instead.
You get it by using the AC130 killstreak 10 or so times.
Nuke is a killstreak earned after 25 kills that automatically wins the game for your team. The Emp is a 15 kill streak that disabled all of the enemies electronics. Ac-130 is a 11 killstreak that lets you be the gunner of a gunship high above.
Im not sure what you mean but you can use a ac130 to get a nuke if you have them on your kill streak selections.
