Dessy,
Looking good! The gun likely keeps the spent cartridges (rather than ejecting them) to prevent damage to the airplane. Modern aircraft (even an A-10) are fast enough that the airflow catches the spent cartridges and tumbles them aft along the fuselage - they don't fall clear. The high speed brass doesn't bounce off of that thin aluminum skin - acts more like a chain saw ... Yogi |

Not that mad...look at the size of the empty casing and work out how much it would hurt if it landed on you, especially if the A-10 is coming in close to a TIC...

Thanks for your comments, Dessy. I feel your pain when it comes to the ammo feed links. Rather you than me, mate. Those tracks you mentioned brought on a nervous twitch, lol.

If that 30 mm hit you, you won't feel a thing. It won't hurt. :D

why is it the most incredible things we design
are also some of the nastiest? Nobody wants to see this used in warfare, but this gun IS impressive.

Dave> thanks for the clip, ya beat me to it. i was thinking of posting a couple. saved me a job . its certainly a frightening beast is'nt it! will have the front of the plane skinned shortly just finishing the 'letter box' openings for fitting the weapon. |
