You tube has a couple of cool videos. Enjoy…
Such a bad-ass gun. The A-10 will always be one of my favorite aircraft, such an enigma of “technology” these days. 
Very cool. I can’t find it, but I’ve seen a picture that shows basically a cutaway of an A-10, and the gun is pretty much the length of the entire plane. They pretty much took a giant gun and built a plane around it.
When fired the gun will actually affect the airspeed of the plane.
I <3 discovery channel.
30mm depleted uranium rounds. Mounted 2 degrees off-center so the firing barrel comes inline as it discharges. A 1 second burst will kill a tank dead.
The gun itself with ammo drum is the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, and yes, the aircraft was designed around the gun. It’s a tough mother too.
<3 A-10s…
And who could forget that baller titanium bathtub.

50 per second + supersonic speeds = dead before you hear it.
i was on a base when these were training. You’d see 2 puff’s of smoke come out of the plane, Hear the bullets hit the train they were using as a target, then hear that LOUD scream of the gun fire. It was one of the coolest things ive seen in person
Yeah, like ripping canvas. Ah, multibarrel cannons. I need one of those. make the daily commute so much more fun.
I like slow planes with guns. I really like the A10 as well its namesake the Thunderbolt. And Skyraiders, I have a special place in my plane nerd fetish for those.

P-47 “Jugs” and A-1 “Sandies.” Hell yeah. Something tells me we’d get along just fine 
Not terribly practical but the metalstorm firing system is pretty cool

Ah yes, nothing shooting bullets out of the sky
Warthog is the nickname, it’s actually the Republic Fairchild A-10A Thunderbolt II. A lot of A models are getting bumped to C revs now.
They were actually going to kill this plane off - cooler heads prevailed.
ive got A-10s flying over my apt all the time, i’m about 10miles from a base. Definetly awesome planes.
