Good ol Adolf Hitler is sitting up there on some clouds is probably saying: "Had we have those bad boys in our hangars back then, WWII would have been in our pocket books!!!
The A-10 was based on an unnamed ground attack aircraft design by Junkers from 1944 or 45. So he kinda did. Also given the way Nazi aircraft projects typically went, they'd have built two and said it would win the war, cancelled the entire project a week later, crashed one into the sea and converted the other to launch from a carrier they'd never build before leaving it in a shed in Western Russia.
I don't think the Queen could be saved if she was on the recieving end of that gun lol. Maybe if she drove around in that bulletproof bubble the pope used.... I bet the velocity of those bullets is immense. I'm guessing your from the U.K. so cheers from across the pond!
@DonzeJ How much it costs is not really the point...the problem is that everywhere the US goes it seems to find 'enemies'. Usually, the enemy of the month was a pal a while back when the dictator of said country was doing what the US told him to do And even many of its' friends are just enemies too scared to BE enemies. It costs a lot to kill thousands of people, certainly...especially all those women and children blown to ragged chunks by drone strikes. Take that, 6 year old girl terrorist!
@ProjectFlashlight612 Oh god, really... another one of you types. Tell me, how many drone strikes have you witnessed? Do you know how many terrorists kill the people of their own country from mishandled IED's and errant rockets, propped up against a rock for aim... I guess youve never heard of propganda.
SECONDLY, children are often used as tools to employ wepaons. Weve had to engage women with stollers packed full of explosives, and yes they had a fucking baby in them. it sucks, they suck
@grindblasterds yes but the cost that USA says of the items they produce are bullshit. Its much cheaper to produce them what they say! Why the hell would it be so expensive to build one bullet when they are producing millions of them!?
The M1A2 Abrams has 960mm RHA in the Turret Front, one Bullet of the GAU-8 can penetrate ~70mm RHA at 1km. If you shoot 30 Rounds at the same Place that would be a Penetration of 2100mm RHA. This would kill the M1 easily. And the GAU-8 probably don't hits in the Front, it hits the lower armored Turret Roof.
Yeah, because the GAU-8 totally gets 30mm shot groups at 1km. You'd be lucky to get a decent number of rounds even hitting the *turret* at that range, let alone the precise same spot on the turret.
@CruelestChris: The GAU-8 does have a 80% hit ratio at 1km. ( 5m² target ) The A-10 would be shooting from above & probably hit the lower armored turretroof.
Even if you assume a 100% hit rate, you'd have to fire 7,100 rounds, perfectly evenly spaced, just to hit everywhere in that 5 square metre circle. Hitting the same spot enough times to penetrate by aggregate damage would be a minor miracle.
@doggyprincess17 Quit shopping at Cabela's and go to cheaperthandirt..com (Texas-based) they are only $16.49 a round. Nonetheless, that is still quite a bit of wasted taxpayer dollars.
Lol this gun fires about 40-50 rounds a second. He did 2 and a half seconds in shooting, and each round costs $500 hmmmmm..... It cost about 56,250 to fire this weapon for 2.5 seconds.
The best part is, the bullets wouldnt even need to hit you to kill you. If it went past you by chance, it would liquify your brain or internal organs.
No they wouldnt kill you? I realize I heard this from a friend, who says a warthog pilot told him that. So second hand evidence isnt really the best at all. But prove me wrong, any pointers where I would find out more?
So I did some research of my own. Mythbusters did a show on a 50 cal, where they shot it past glass. It wouldnt even crack a lightbulb. So I gather not even a 30mm could possibly kill a person without touching them. Case solved. haha.
@maercats Didn't there used to be something called the USSR? Oh that's right; they went bankrupt trying to keep up with the U.S. in an arms race. U mad bro?
@raulrusboy Well look at the U.S., Russia spends oh I don't know about 1/10th the U.S. spends on a tank, plane, boat, or anything really. You spend too much money with not enough stuff to show for it. The U.S. will collapse like the Soviet Union did, It's following the same patterns, huge ass dept, fighting wars and spending a ton of money, angry citizens getting riled up with every illegal war. I'm not even Russian but I know this :/
@DmitriKarov Really the only thing I disagree with you on is how much we spend on equipment... I have no idea how much an MI-26 costs, nor how much fuel it burns in a flight, but it's pretty extravagant, and there's plenty more examples.
@raulrusboy Once you think about it, Russia re-uses old equipment, weapons from 1950 or even before that. They recycle parts from old AK-47s and they spend around 2.77-4.25 million on a T-90 compared to 6.21 million abrams. The U.S. retires good equipment. The A-10 uses 30mm shells, a .50 12.7mm costs $7 at my local range to shoot out of a heavy machine gun, and it does the same damage as a .50 Russian round (Which pierces tank armor) from an MI-24 that is old and recycled.
@DmitriKarov the russians didnt exactly plan well at high levels, but were incredibly resourceful and made do. an example is the 6 or 7 full airborne divisions they had at all times, but only had the airlift capability to move one of these divisions at a time.
@raulrusboy it wasnt the reason moron it was because the people got tired of communism, but we are the biggest country on earth we are back in shape and ready for anything youre on your way down pal ,still im right this gun is made for soft targets not tanks even with the uranium bullets
@maercats Wrong on both accounts... You know there's a great search engine called Google that can help you educate yourself on a subject within seconds, right?
@maercats It wasnt the *only* reason, China has a larger population, your economy is still in trouble and (response to hollow threat-like thing), still you're wrong, the gun is made for hard targets... Are you talking down the gun? On technical merits? No, you're just spouting crap because your upbringing embittered you towards other (American?) cultures... If you reply to this, you've only proven your own bitterness!
@T16Akatsuki actually its a jet with a gun attachment, considering your asking for thumbs up, the jet costs millions of dollars wereas a gatling gun runs beetween 300,000 and 500,000 depending on what type of ammo it fires.......... youd be better off buying a house.
@PEEWEEK707 I agree weaponry and the fighter jet it self cost so much. If I'm not mistaken the B-2 Stealth Bomber cost about 2 billion dollars the A-10 is so fuckin badass
@AvengedSevenfold9000 i know right! .... in the 90's people thought the A-10 was ugly considering its design was different from the f-16's and f-18's used at the time. i never thought it was ugly though ...ive always like the A-10 its deadly fart noises have saved many lives haha
@PEEWEEK707 LMFAO it does sound like fart noises and the A -10 is sexy cause its not simular to other planes it has its own look. I can't believe how many tanks were taken out by this plane
@BlueySkunky do you have any idea how loud a 30mm cannon is? think of it this way, a 50 caliber is only 12.95mm and that is usually enough to make a guy jump.
@cod6guy12 i was thinking about the browning m2 which fires .50 bmg rounds. the diameter on those rounds are slightly larger. but yes, any other .50 such as the desert eagle or the magnum 500 will be 12.7mm.
@BlueySkunky One time me and my friends went to see an A -10 firing its Gatlin Gun and they said they would not flench. A second after the cannon went off all 4 of them hit the groud screamin. tru story and funny as hell
@XMMxmmXM i dont know where you got your numbers from but they're horrible lmfao. This weapon's rounds are on average, below $15 each. we'll take the worst case and say they're $15 just for simplicity, k? Additionally, this weapon fires 70 rounds per second. now its just math. 70x12=840, 840x15= $12600. it's $12600 for 12 seconds. or roughly $1000 per second.
@kingmigget That was a joke. There's a video called Meet the Heavy to promote the game Team Fortress 2, he has a custom minigun he calls "Sasha" that he says costs "$400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds".
Where the hell did you get this clip, that is me in the A-10 at the Weapons Development and Test Center (3214th Sq. ) at Eglin Air Force Base in 1977 at range 21 firing 30mm ball and uranium tipped ammo. I was firing at M-60 tanks at 1000 yards and 2000 yards, tore them up !!!!
Can someone tell me, if it fires at the ground, you will hear and see expolosions? is this the impact of the bullet, or are they expolosive (exp.bullets?)
We should all be thankful that the German didn't have such awesome airpower during the airwar back in WW II 'cause then every first bomber on its first mission would be its last!!!
The A-10C upgrade removed the 3 sec burst limit so the pilot can empty all the ammo in one burst if he wants to but 2 - 3 sec is all thats needed, the gun can take it and it only slows the plane down a little as the plane is diving when it fires and the pilot has to throttle to idle when diving as the slower he dives the more tme he has to attack. The ignighters in both engines come on when the gun is fired as in the prototype the engines were suffocated by the gas from the gun.
The GAU-8 can fire continually for over 10 seconds without overheating or jaming. The reason pilots dont fire it more then 2 or 3 seconds is because the gun has 10,000 lbs of recoil force and it slows the plane down the longer its fired. Also the heavy smoke produced by the gun can sometimes flame out the A10's turbo fan engines though they've been upgraded to reduce that from happening. 70 rounds per sec @ 4200 rpm barrel speed.
They decided not to get rid of the A-10 as in GUlf War 2 and Afghanistan it has scored the most kills so it is being upgraded to A-10C, glass cockpit , Jdams and a garfield.
that gun can never be replaced. the military has been trying to get rid of the a-10 for 25 years but its impossible to until they come up with a better solution. they say that the f-35 is supposed to replace it but in no way can the f-35 replace what the a-10 can do. what are they going to d about an a-10 replacement?
@lbj222 The offset puts the gun system out of the way of the undercarriage nose wheel and the wheel well it folds into. The barrels fire in the 9 o'clock position (looking at the nose from the front), so the recoil actually is along the aircraft's centerline, even though the center of the gun system doesn't line up.
@RacerXGTO The gun is actually angled downward a bit to REDUCE the dive angle needed for target engagement, since altitude is a precious commodity for fixed-wing aircraft in combat maneuvers. The recoil is not a problem because firing only ever lasts a few seconds. There will never be any need to fire longer than that simply because the aircraft covers a lot of ground and fires a lot of ammunition in that time: 506 ft per second at 300 knots, and 70 rounds per second.
@minhhale actually if you were hit by this thing, you would have at least 50-75 if it was moving. Several hundred more is you and it were stationary. a 3cm hole multiplied by that would equal something equivalent to chunky salsa. Sure to make your day interesting. :)
I've seen these things in action and it is mightily impressive.

It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds >:D
XMMxmmXM 8 months ago
@XMMxmmXM i dont know where you got your numbers from but they're horrible lmfao. This weapon's rounds are on average, below $15 each. we'll take the worst case and say they're $15 just for simplicity, k? Additionally, this weapon fires 70 rounds per second. now its just math. 70x12=840, 840x15= $12600. it's $12600 for 12 seconds. or roughly $1000 per second.

@kingmigget That was a joke. There's a video called Meet the Heavy to promote the game Team Fortress 2, he has a custom minigun he calls "Sasha" that he says costs "$400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds".

Where the hell did you get this clip, that is me in the A-10 at the Weapons Development and Test Center (3214th Sq. ) at Eglin Air Force Base in 1977 at range 21 firing 30mm ball and uranium tipped ammo. I was firing at M-60 tanks at 1000 yards and 2000 yards, tore them up !!!!

CamelBallZee 10 months ago
The A-10C upgrade removed the 3 sec burst limit so the pilot can empty all the ammo in one burst if he wants to but 2 - 3 sec is all thats needed, the gun can take it and it only slows the plane down a little as the plane is diving when it fires and the pilot has to throttle to idle when diving as the slower he dives the more tme he has to attack. The ignighters in both engines come on when the gun is fired as in the prototype the engines were suffocated by the gas from the gun.

I suppose the longest burst you can fire is a 2 second burst right? I bet this thing overheats hella easy.
bassplaya1549 11 months ago
@bassplaya1549
The GAU-8 can fire continually for over 10 seconds without overheating or jaming. The reason pilots dont fire it more then 2 or 3 seconds is because the gun has 10,000 lbs of recoil force and it slows the plane down the longer its fired. Also the heavy smoke produced by the gun can sometimes flame out the A10's turbo fan engines though they've been upgraded to reduce that from happening. 70 rounds per sec @ 4200 rpm barrel speed.

They decided not to get rid of the A-10 as in GUlf War 2 and Afghanistan it has scored the most kills so it is being upgraded to A-10C, glass cockpit , Jdams and a garfield.

spazzz64 1 year ago
that gun can never be replaced. the military has been trying to get rid of the a-10 for 25 years but its impossible to until they come up with a better solution. they say that the f-35 is supposed to replace it but in no way can the f-35 replace what the a-10 can do. what are they going to d about an a-10 replacement?
jgtheman84 1 year ago
@jgtheman84 They say the A-10 is to be in service until 2028 so they have plenty of time to find a replacement.

that gun has so much recoil that the A-10 actually looses air speed when it fires bursts longer than 2 seconds.... i want one!!.
origionalwinja 1 year ago
@origionalwinja It will cause the jet to stall. That's why the gun is set off center from the nose.
lbj222 1 year ago
@lbj222 The offset puts the gun system out of the way of the undercarriage nose wheel and the wheel well it folds into. The barrels fire in the 9 o'clock position (looking at the nose from the front), so the recoil actually is along the aircraft's centerline, even though the center of the gun system doesn't line up.
LotsOMovies 1 year ago
@origionalwinja That's why they train to strafe targets at a certain level of dive angle.
RacerXGTO 1 year ago
@RacerXGTO The gun is actually angled downward a bit to REDUCE the dive angle needed for target engagement, since altitude is a precious commodity for fixed-wing aircraft in combat maneuvers. The recoil is not a problem because firing only ever lasts a few seconds. There will never be any need to fire longer than that simply because the aircraft covers a lot of ground and fires a lot of ammunition in that time: 506 ft per second at 300 knots, and 70 rounds per second.

@minhhale That's what you'd get if someone slowly pushed a shell through you. Try catching one moving at about 1000m/s.
SAsgarters 1 year ago
@minhhale actually if you were hit by this thing, you would have at least 50-75 if it was moving. Several hundred more is you and it were stationary. a 3cm hole multiplied by that would equal something equivalent to chunky salsa. Sure to make your day interesting. :)
I've seen these things in action and it is mightily impressive.
