Hmm...so each touch of the trigger gets rid of what percentage of the total it holds?
100/1200 * 100
Hmm.....seems like a slightly smaller round in a slower cycling weapon on a similar plane may have its place. That way you can shoot for a more than a few seconds total.
Unnecessary;consider that all you have is a few seconds window, the enemy won't just stand and watch but will open anti-aircraft fire, also you have to align the whole plane for shooting-you don't wanna do that for long.
@Concreto1984 If the round was smaller could you then have the gun on a torrent so that you could shoot from different angles? I suppose I'm not thinking of this gun as I should. It's more like a mini-rocket launcher it seems given the power of the round. It seems like I am thinking of a small, maneuverable gunship (this jet with minimum caliber that penetrates armor mounted all over it on torrents maybe).
Smaller round, say 20mm, would only be more practical in a way that you could bring more ammo on-board. Mounting machine gun on some sort of mechanized chassis controllable e.g. via helmet wouldn't be practical due to speed the planes usually fly at; that's where the helicopters come in:)
No mater your hatred for war, disdain of the Americans, or conspiracy theories about the Military Industrial Complex, you have to admit this is a mind-boggling piece of engineering.
@karppap If you are talking about Anti Tank rounds, the Avenger actually fires depleted Uranium (30 mm). DU is very heavy, and it pretty much swiss cheeses anything it touches.
@Scipiothegreat Even though 20mm and 25mm ammo can take out tanks just fine, the Gau-8 was designed as dual purpose for anti-armor and anti-bunker warfare.
@karppap it has at rounds only. two wariatn mainly, armor piercing and incendiary high explosive. it can penetrate the tank at some places, and able to destroy tracks, or damage them, plus with its impacts, it activate the explosive reative armour, and basicly it strips it from the tank. Though the plain can carry more have anti ground missiles, or bombs too.
From the front or sides? PRobably not, but A-10 do a shallow dive and fires from the TOP....Through the top armor and the even more vulnerable engine deck...You betcha! If the A-10 is using API, then even the heavist beast such as the Abram or Challenger 2 will be toast when they get struck! Remember its not just one or two rounds, its over 100 hundred rounds impacting at the sametime. So at least some will penetrate
The GAU8 is the better choice, when it comes to tank killing, due to the MUCH heavier projectiles (30x175mm @over 600g vs 23x115mm @ not even 200g). And heavier means more payload. Ok, it takes more time to fire it, but against ground targets...who cares? gsh6-23 is better against fast moving, not so easy to hit targets, like airplanes and especially missiles. With 10000rpm you can be sure to hit what you want to hit.
@BloodyMcHaggis You are not going to use a CAS gatling gun against aircraft most certainly not a missile, That is not the purpose of a CAS aircraft, the gatling gun is for the sole purpose of attacking ground targets. Any AA capbilities come from the AA missiles on the aircraft of which the A10 can carry more.
As a CAS aircraft there is no denying that the A10 is simply the best in the world.
@ps92117 Thats what I tried to accentuate. The A10 with GAU8 against tanks etc. , the faster gsh6-23 in fighter aircrafts for dogfights (theoretically) and the big brother gsh-6-30 on battleships versus missiles, similar to the Phalanx CIWS. 3 (or 4) Awsome weapons, but not comparable, because of their different purpose.
The 6-30 fires at a maximum rate approximately 40% faster, not 100% faster, and with a muzzle velocity more than 200 m/s slower (inferior armor prenetration). But really I should say "fired", past tense: not only were there no Soviet attack aircraft that could fit enough ammunition for the weapon to be practical, the 6-30's wild recoil vibration tore up any plane fitted with it. So it saw little use when it was new, and almost no use now. Just a couple Mig-27's in Ceylon.
@jkremlin Thanks for citing my comment. The size difference is due to compromised barrel length, poorly designed recoil system, and minuscule ammunition supply.
Fun fact: The Mig-27 can only hold about 280 rounds of it's weaker ammunition. After 4.5 seconds it is empty.
Extra fun fact: 6-30 barrels are shorter and less accurate. This means the 4.5 seconds of fire are less effective. Their shorter length also means less head dissipation and diminished barrel life.
@jkremlin Weight cited for the GAU includes every operating component plus max load ammunition (which is half the weight) minus the power source.
The weight you're claiming for the 6-30 includes the barrels, firing assembly and solenoid. None of the feeding mechanism, none of the ammunition container, none of the limited amunition, none of "belt".
By the way, nothing wrong with a normal MiG-27, but the few hand-me-downs with 6-30's are in fact outfitted with them as their primary weapon.
@ps92117 nah dude...1 of your facts is completely wrong > soviet gsh is faster*, it is the fastest gatling gun.plus it's lighter and smaller .and the soviet round is heavier . so i say gsh is better .......(period)
and as i said ,the cannon is the A10's primary weapon , in the mig it isn't ,,,so no harm about ammo
@jkremlin GAU8 Rate of fire: 4200 rpm Projectile weight: 15 oz Muzzle velocity: 1070 m/s rounds per flight 1200 GSH 6-30 Rate of fire: 4000 rpm Projectile weight: 13 oz Muzzle velocity: 845 m/s rounds per flight 300 Irregardless of what is the main weapon the A10 carries twice as much ordinance as the su25 and mig27. Fact A10 is better this not disputable.
@ps92117 ok,first of all..The projectile weight and Rounds per flight has nothing to do with the cannon..they are 2 characteristics of the projectile and the aircraft .
Rate o fire: gsh6-23( 10,000rpm ) GAU8( 4200rpm )
Weight : gsh6-23( 76kg ) GAU8( 281kg )
Length : gsh6-23( 1.4m ) GAU8( 2.3m )
Action : gsh6-23( gasoperated ) GAU8( electric )
--------------[gas operated systems use less power / barrel spin accelerates faster]
@jkremlin So now smaller machine gun, smaller caliber, and smaller barrel length some how are superior qualities.
Might as well attach a Metal Storm Bretha to the a10 and call it a day after all that is like 1/10 the size of a GSH 6-23 and can fire at a rate of 1.62 million rounds per minute.
The truth is that is not the case, in the world of anti-tank CAS bigger=better.
Why not just attach a few uzis to the aircraft lol.
@ps92117 i never tried to say which gun is better. if you look at my first comment i posted ,i just said the gsh's rate of fire is greater .you only tried to tell GAU8 is better.you can't say which is better as BloodyMcHaggis said,because these two guns are used in totally different ways.I'm saying the gsh, being much smaller and much lighter is capable of surpassing the gau8's rate'o fire of 4200rpm
and the entire length of gsh is less than the gau8's barrel only ,but still it can fire > 4200
Gatlin and Browning both demonstrated their prototype machine guns for Colt in the late 1890's.
It was the first time ever Browning had seen a Gatlin gun. He referred to it as "a primitive design" due to it's lack of gas operation, a revolutionary feature pioneered by Browning during the same time. Colt and the Army adopted the Browning design, the M1895, which was highly successful in WWI.
As this video illustrates, the Gatlin design has a great niche in aircraft armament.
@ThatAdelaideGuy - TRUE it does help cool , but it also allows any defective ammo ( bullets that didn't fire) to be ejected because it is not a gas operated.
@ThatAdelaideGuy Cooling from spin is but a byproduct of the mechanical operation of the design. Non-Gatlin full-auto designs can withstand sustained fire at a rate of around 600-800rpm, and not for that long, before the barrel is heat-damaged. Most light MG's feature quick-change barrels for this reason.
In a Gatlin rotary design, you have a firing rate of 3000rpm out of 6 (or more) rotating barrels, so no single barrel ever sees a firing rate above 500rpm.
@ramv36 (contd.) It is for this reason a Gatlin gun, such as a Minigun, can fire even 10's of thousands of rounds non-stop without damage or failure. Don't think about it as a single firearm, but 6 (or more) individual firearms, firing singly with high precision and synchronization.
The catch-22 is that it's weaknesses are an extension of it's strengths, mainly with 5 or more extra barrels, the weapon weighs several times more than a single-barrel design.
Even the 105mm tankcannon on the origuinal Abrams had rifling.
It has everything to do with stabilisation during the flight of the projectile.
Smaller calibres are simply to small for fins. But 120 mm tankrounds are fitted with fins, therefore its a smooth-bore canon. HE, KE and MZ munitions have fins.
Stupid airplane... slow flight speed and limited ammo... One shot of a handheld missile, and its good bye to this multi million dollar piece of equipment.
Stupid propaganda for stupid sheep... Showing off, as if they are untouchable, as if they cant lose or die...
@ForPalestine2015 A ground attack aircraft almost always has low speed for accuracy, NO aircraft has unlimited ammo, unless you get your information from COD, and it's an jet powered fixed winged aircraft that can fly faster and higher than a shoulder fired AA missile can lock on to, that is, before the GAU-8 rips the enemy to ribbons.
@ForPalestine2015 "something bigger" is not exactly the threat the a-10 was designed to withstand. While it still has much higher survivability than any other aircraft (+the pilot is covered by a titanium tub), "something bigger" will pose a high threat to any aircraft around. But remember, it's made for CAS, not SEAD, it can't carry HARMS and is relatively slow. You don't hunt sams with it, you get low and dirty while supporting the ground troops. You won't get her down with your ak47.
Well, you heard of that Iraqi farmer who managed to shoot down an apache with his WWII rifle? I bet he would shoot the space shuttle with his AK47 too...
Anyway, theoretical pondering will not get us closer to reality... The point is, there is a weapon to take down every plane easily, and my point also is, to dismiss the american military's propaganda about their own equipment and how dangerous they are, and how it affect the youth, brainwashing them to join the military eventually...
Yes, a shoulder fired rocket might destroy an A-10, but it's a lot more likely that the A-10, or the ground troops it is supporting, will kill the guy with the rocket launcher, and then the next guy with a rocket launcher, then the next. Besides, good luck aiming your one shot rocket at a target 3 or 4 kilos away at a 17.5 m X 4.5 M (generously) target closing at 300 knots while you're being shot at by 30 mm rounds and being overrun by tanks and infantry protected by the A-10
@appa609 To put it into perspective,,,If an A-10 has you "locked on",Your day is done,,,Cash in your chips,make sure all your papers are in order..Tonight,You're eating dirt....
imagine if one of these beast ripped a 2 second burst at a fighter jet ( for you smartasses that like to prove your brains, i know that an a-10 wouldnt stand a chance against a fighter in a dogfight.im being hypathetical) lol
Crazy - The USAF tried to scrap it 10+ yrs ago as it got shot down in every exercise. The Army kicked up a stink & threatened to put their own pilots in it. The USAF backed down to avoid setting the precedent of army pilots flying fixed wing.
It may be powerful & does exactly what it was designed to do (fly slow, big gun, etc.), but the role is obsolete. AH-64 hides better & F15/16 fly way above ground fire. Guard pilots fly it - why's that? Mmm let me guess.
I saw 1 of these at a firepower demo on Salisbury Plain when I was 8 years old. It was awe inspiring. Sadly the aircraft is obsolete as it is too slow and vulnerable to ground fire.
@drjamespotter If it's firing off its anti-tank missiles and 30mm cannon, who in their right mind is going to stay and fire back?
Besides, this flying tank can stay airborne with one engine and half a wing missing. I'm fairly certain it can take a few hits from ragheads on the ground.
everyone who disliked this video is a terrorist who smuggled a computer in iraq and tried to steal America's tech. They're probably dead now. Suicide out of absolute fear...
@togogot0 just the US dude if you hear that engine its either A: commerical planes they use the same engine or upgrades as the A-10 TF34 or B: visiting A-10s

It was the first time ever Browning had seen a Gatlin gun. He referred to it as "a primitive design" due to it's lack of gas operation, a revolutionary feature pioneered by Browning during the same time. Colt and the Army adopted the Browning design, the M1895, which was highly successful in WWI.
As this video illustrates, the Gatlin design has a great niche in aircraft armament.

I wonder if they realize the only reason that the GAU8 or any Gatling gun for that matter spins is to cool the barrels down
ThatAdelaideGuy 9 months ago
@ThatAdelaideGuy - TRUE it does help cool , but it also allows any defective ammo ( bullets that didn't fire) to be ejected because it is not a gas operated.

@ThatAdelaideGuy
Nope, you're the only one. The rest of us retards simply assumed it was to have one feeding mechanism instead of 6 or more.......
Styles828 8 months ago
@ThatAdelaideGuy Cooling from spin is but a byproduct of the mechanical operation of the design. Non-Gatlin full-auto designs can withstand sustained fire at a rate of around 600-800rpm, and not for that long, before the barrel is heat-damaged. Most light MG's feature quick-change barrels for this reason.
In a Gatlin rotary design, you have a firing rate of 3000rpm out of 6 (or more) rotating barrels, so no single barrel ever sees a firing rate above 500rpm.
ramv36 8 months ago
@ramv36 (contd.) It is for this reason a Gatlin gun, such as a Minigun, can fire even 10's of thousands of rounds non-stop without damage or failure. Don't think about it as a single firearm, but 6 (or more) individual firearms, firing singly with high precision and synchronization.
The catch-22 is that it's weaknesses are an extension of it's strengths, mainly with 5 or more extra barrels, the weapon weighs several times more than a single-barrel design.

DrRaper 9 months ago
@DrRaper
Even the 105mm tankcannon on the origuinal Abrams had rifling.
It has everything to do with stabilisation during the flight of the projectile.
Smaller calibres are simply to small for fins. But 120 mm tankrounds are fitted with fins, therefore its a smooth-bore canon. HE, KE and MZ munitions have fins.

ForPalestine2015 9 months ago
@ForPalestine2015 A ground attack aircraft almost always has low speed for accuracy, NO aircraft has unlimited ammo, unless you get your information from COD, and it's an jet powered fixed winged aircraft that can fly faster and higher than a shoulder fired AA missile can lock on to, that is, before the GAU-8 rips the enemy to ribbons.
DiscoDude82 9 months ago
@DiscoDude82
If a shoulder fired missile is not enough, then something bigger will work. In any case, nothing is eternal nothing is unlimited.
ForPalestine2015 9 months ago
@ForPalestine2015 "something bigger" is not exactly the threat the a-10 was designed to withstand. While it still has much higher survivability than any other aircraft (+the pilot is covered by a titanium tub), "something bigger" will pose a high threat to any aircraft around. But remember, it's made for CAS, not SEAD, it can't carry HARMS and is relatively slow. You don't hunt sams with it, you get low and dirty while supporting the ground troops. You won't get her down with your ak47.
PhiXX4 9 months ago
Well, you heard of that Iraqi farmer who managed to shoot down an apache with his WWII rifle? I bet he would shoot the space shuttle with his AK47 too...
Anyway, theoretical pondering will not get us closer to reality... The point is, there is a weapon to take down every plane easily, and my point also is, to dismiss the american military's propaganda about their own equipment and how dangerous they are, and how it affect the youth, brainwashing them to join the military eventually...

Yes, a shoulder fired rocket might destroy an A-10, but it's a lot more likely that the A-10, or the ground troops it is supporting, will kill the guy with the rocket launcher, and then the next guy with a rocket launcher, then the next. Besides, good luck aiming your one shot rocket at a target 3 or 4 kilos away at a 17.5 m X 4.5 M (generously) target closing at 300 knots while you're being shot at by 30 mm rounds and being overrun by tanks and infantry protected by the A-10

Crazy - The USAF tried to scrap it 10+ yrs ago as it got shot down in every exercise. The Army kicked up a stink & threatened to put their own pilots in it. The USAF backed down to avoid setting the precedent of army pilots flying fixed wing.
It may be powerful & does exactly what it was designed to do (fly slow, big gun, etc.), but the role is obsolete. AH-64 hides better & F15/16 fly way above ground fire. Guard pilots fly it - why's that? Mmm let me guess.

@drjamespotter If it's firing off its anti-tank missiles and 30mm cannon, who in their right mind is going to stay and fire back?
Besides, this flying tank can stay airborne with one engine and half a wing missing. I'm fairly certain it can take a few hits from ragheads on the ground.
