The 3 or the 6 barrel version? I was allowed to watch a test fire of an
M-61 once (20mm, 6000 rounds per minute, that's 100/second). That was one of
those things that you remember for the rest of your life, like standing near
the runway and having an F15 do an unlimited climb takeoff right in front of
you, almost fell over. We had a GUA-8 also (30mm, 4600r/m) but in the
9+years I was there it never came out of the locker/vault.
So my guess is, after reading all these replies, that I will be taking a
trip to Kentucky in April, hope to see some of you there.
