You say most powerful but then you have the American Gau-8 avenger 30mm Gatling gun first prototype made in 71’.
Slightly different beast of a gun, this is for light applications, not designed to be a tank buster.
Ah okay
whats the diffrence between it and the M61 vulcan other then 3mm. M61 Vulcan desinged 46’
AH it’s gas operated thats cool. Now what I mean is ballistics wise.
Much higher fire rate, arguably more accurate (depend on a hard vs soft mount), rounds have more knock-down power, and the HE/HEI/HEI-T have more explosive filler.
Does it have a faster fire rate cause it’s gas operated?
Yes, it’s hard to explain; but essentially, the longer it fires; until it reaches its max rotational speed, it can fire faster and faster, it has an electric motor to start the process though.
Just asking cause if it is faster I am going to add it to a 50mm Gatling gun design of mine.
There’s a bit more physics behind it; but yeah, it’s faster to a degree.
yeah I unsderstand how the physics work.
here are the pros and cons of it though. Gas Operation:
Yep
Also, if you want to talk Soviet tank buster, you want the GSh-2-30 or 6-30
(Should have been able to use UBR-8 & 11 (APDS and APFSDS) IIRC)
I prefer this though the Pneumatic. * Pneumatic Operation:
and to GSH-6-30 the Gau-8 still has more punch with it’s 30x173mm to the 6-30’s 30x165mm
Maybe do a Mix of the Pneumatic with gas.
Maybe but it could fire the APFSDS round of the 2A42/2A72, Aka UBR-11, so roughly 120mm of pen.
you win there. The PGU-14/B API ammunition can penetrate 55 millimeters of armor at a distance of 1,220 meters and up to 76 millimeters of armor at closer ranges of approximately 300 meters . Huh this comes from a site that is call warisboring.
