i mean the gun itself is a GAU 8 Avenger designed for the A-10 for tank busting duty heck the plane was designed for the gun.
But the Dutch made a CIWS using the GAU 8
And as i said its on the A-10 so it is in use...just in another role completely and for a CIWS the US uses the phalanx instead and thats based on the M61 Vulcan just do some reaserch
Noted no pop up maneuver, sea state 1, and condition 1 set.
Aside from this. very nice CIWIS.

The last missile was not an exocet, not sure what it was actually.
Don't forget, goalkeeper is the very last defence action. Incomming missiles are usually destroyed with sea sparrow or gun.
But it was a close call ;)

Considering it puts out... what... 100 rounds a second easy... I'm surprised it took that long of a burst to take em down.
