Top 7 Rotary Cannons of the US Military

The Gatling-Style Rotary Cannons is a rapid-firing multiple-barrel firearm invented in 1861 by Richard Jordan Gatling. It is an early machine gun and a forerunner of the modern electric motor-driven rotary cannon. The cyclic multi-barrel design synchronizes the firing sequence. Each barrel fires a single cartridge when it reaches a certain position in the rotation, after which the spent casing is ejected at a different position and then a new round is loaded at another position. During the cycle, the barrel has more time to dissipate some heat away to the surrounding air.

Some of these are averaging 100 rounds per second, that’s amazing. The mechanical engineering needed to feed it the ammo is awesome. Some of these 20mm cannons are moving way over 1000 pounds of weight just in ammo per second. It’s like a grandfather clock and a cannon had a baby

[@user-gk7zx2ks5h]

Amazing!! 25mm!! .50 cal three. Or four barrels!! I didn't know that. Wow those rotary cannons are incredible and terrifying.

Have the fixed the aiming problems with the GAU-22/A for the F-35? That thing had problems hitting the broad side of a barn. It also doesn’t carry very many rounds. Sure it fires at a rate of 3300 round/minute but after 182 rounds or 3.3 seconds it’s not firing anything because it’s out of ammo.

[@chrisfisichella6659]

That was a great summary. Thank you very much!

Watching Phalanx, you’re looking at a part of the system that the company I worked for (retired) supplied. I was talking to an ex-Navy guy, a couple of months ago, and he surprised me by saying that Phalanx wasn’t well liked among crew.

The Harriers and the B1 Lancers that are going to be retired you know are going to Australia just like the FB 111. They get all our cool stuff that isn't really obsolete. We just don't want to pay for maintenance and we don't have enough pilots so we send stuff there. If they ever retire the A10 you can bet they get a second life in Australia.

You're forgetting the GAU-13, the little brother of the GAU-8 Avenger &, as its quad-barreled little brother, it also uses the same 30x173mm! Don't really know what happened to it after Gulf War 1 showed that, as a gun pod mounted weapon, it had too much recoil for F-16s doing gun runs after 1 day. Maybe you know?

[@manw3bttcks]

The rounds per minute seems to be overkill, for a ground cannon i suppose it's okay because it's easier to reload. But on an airplane, they should reduce that.

[@konev13thebeast]

The rpm is only necessary on planes because when you're moving hundreds of feet per second, you need to fill every few inches with rounds to ensure you hit your target
