The American A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft carries a seven-barreled GAU-8 / A Avenger aircraft gun (translated in English as “avenger”). The GAU-8/A turns the old attack aircraft into a powerful weapon, writes 19FortyFive.
It is stated that the Avenger weapon is designed to destroy ground equipment. The GAU-8/A was developed to fight Soviet-made tanks during the Cold War. The weapon is used on aircraft and ships of the US Navy.
The maximum rate of fire of a hydraulically driven gun is 4200 rounds per minute. The weapon uses depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles as well as high-explosive parts. It is estimated that one volley of GAU-8 / A can hit up to 40 targets. 80% of the projectiles fired can reach a circle with a radius of 6.1 meters.
