Arc-light landing half a kilometer from your position. 2000 lb. bombs dropped from high altitude. If the ground was soft you got a hard massage, if the ground was hard it would beat the shit out of you. Concussion was awesome...you could see the waves of energy coming up from the ground, even at night.
Then again it could have been the Spooky C-130 dumping spiraling red tracers of death'.
Of course I was kinda partial to the Cobra Gunships....you just had to make sure they weren't hovering directly over you as they were firing their miniguns or Automatic grenade launcher...thats some damn hot brass raining all over you.
My personal favorite in a static position was the 90mm recoilless rifle firing flechete rounds.
For patrol carry I used a CAR-15 that I wangled from a SF SSG.
