The F-16 was a bit of a unicorn in military production. It was on time, withing budget, and worked as planned right off the line. Do you know how uncommon that is? Normally if you get 2 of those you are pretty happy. Many projects only get one or even none. Alll 3 is damn near unheard of. The military had one of their rare great ideas that actually turn out to be a great idea. They combined a lot of it with the F-15 program. Which was a more typical "We want the best damned jet any where. Deploy large bags of money immediately" It worked but the plane is a expensive beast of a machine. They then went to a bunch of pilots and said "Look at all these neat parts they just made. Now make them into a multi role fighter that you would like to fly. So they did. In some ways the f-16 was even better than it's much more expensive big brother, the F-15. And by what I hear, it is about the most enjoyable to fly and responsive military jet anywhere to this day. Like I said, a unicorn.

20mm is still a damn anti-material round, the weapons firing them are actually referred to as "cannons", because they're well over the threshold of even .50 BMG, which is where man portable arms and true heavy armaments diverge. Sure, there are .50 BMG rifles, and even 20mm shoulder fired anti-tank rifles, but that's right at the upper limit of what you can put to your shoulder and fire without it becoming unsafe for the operator.

The dogfights are really rare right now, but if they happen you can hit the target with 20mm shell 200-1200 meters away.

The F-4E fixed the problem of having no gun by 1967 by having a gun, the same M61 used up to the F-22. The claims of the short are false, pretty much in line with most of this AI generated trash. The newer jets were made to be better at a lot of things. However, the F-4 not having a gun wasn’t one of them, cause the Phantom had a great gun and was getting kills with it long before the 15 or 16 first flew.

This is partially true but doesn't reflect what really happened. The F111 was supposed to be what the F15 became but didn't pan out as planned. Then studies to develop the F15 happened, experience in Vietnam showed a smaller and lighter craft with high thrust to weight would offer better performance and the pentagon realized the F15 program couldn't deliver enough fighters in number at low enough cost. So the F16 was a lighter and cheaper day fighter at first to supplement the heavier more expensive F15. Also the poor performance of missiles during Vietnam caused guns to be brought back into the basic designs.
@skyraider872 ай бұрын
@garyeaton5719 lacking a gun was not as big of an issue as you think it was. The missiles worked, it was failure in other fields that made them ineffective. They had no way to identify what they were locking onto beyond visual range, which means that that Soviet jet bomber you just fired a radar guided missile at might actually be one of those new jet airliners that were becoming all the rage. That's why the F14 tomcat was equipped with TCS (Television Camera System), and later IRST (Infared Search and Track), the latter being a feture of all current fighter aircraft. The F4 could also carry a podded gun

Ugggh, As a USAF Ammo troop, I remember having to dump cans of these rounds out on a grounded table, count them, then load them into a UAL and run them out to the flightline to load into the aircraft. Read some comments in here and thought I would add that these blue headed rounds are for training, like at the gun range for aircraft for instance, but we also had high explosive rounds and armor piercing rounds for those that said this gun wasn't effective for vehicles. LOL. These guns will hardly ever be used for aircraft to aircraft battles, because it just doesnt happen that often anymore. Regardless, these guns when loaded with the proper ammo types will straight up murder soft targets, vehicles, radar and SAM sites or anything else if bombs and missles are expended. For anything like heavy armored vehicles like tanks, buildings, and wide areas of targets, the 105MM round from the AC-130 Gunship will get the job done and also has different round types depending on target. Same for the A-10 and every other aircraft. You have to think about all the different types of ammo or munitions available, make the best choice of available ammo types for the mission, etc. to get the job done fast and effective. The way the combat sorties are planned out is kind of like ordering pizza for the aircraft, but are usually already built or loaded in a deployed environment prior to missions due to rapid deployment priorities. In a non combat or training environment, they tell us what they need, we inspect, count, and load or build them, then deliver them. Gun rounds, bombs, missiles, countermeasures, and everything else that goes boom. We also have to recycle all the brass from expended rounds.

They had these guns in a towed version in the 82nd airborne until after Dessert Shield/Storm in an air defense/anti-armor roll. As a weapon fired at ground targets it was terrifying to watch, feel and listen to. At night it spit 10 foot of flame and the rounds lit up and shredded whatever was in its way. Besides 2000lbs JDAMs they were the most violent weapon I’ve witnessed. They were an amazing psychological weapon alone.
