i don't think that's an A-10, more like a f18 or jet

[ChapaWolf]

Agreed luke503 defiantly a single barreled cannon.

Sorry about the title but a fast mover gatling gun If you listen to a a-10 the gun is much slower, the 20 mm on a jet is much faster firing rate because of the difference in speeds of the jet, a-10 can put out alot of rounds moving slow in a fast mover you have to put out alot of rounds at a faster firing rate because of speed of the plane and dive rate

My bad your right the General Electric M61A1 Vulcan is a 6-barrel 20mm cannon of the Gatling-type. It fires standard M50 ammunition at 6,000 rounds per minute. I believe its used on the F-16 and F-18 and even the retired F-14. I for some reason (Hollywood) remember seeing about a dozen clips of a single barreled gun on the aircraft stated above in the movies. 6000rpm is a lot of firepower and 20mm ain't no joke!!
