Ah, it's the GAU-8 (IIRC Gun Armament Unit) as fitted to the A-10 Tank buster. It fires depleted uranium core shells, and a burst can destroy a Tank. It's so awesome, they designed the plane around it, and it's bigger than a VW Beetle....

The worlds first Assault Rifle.



So good it shoots rounds corners.



The machine gun that was so good it's still in use today by some foreign armed forces.

As awesomely beautiful as an ugly thing can be! One of my favourite examples of purposeful engineering ever. Having seen this at Fairford on many occasions, and seen just how manoverable it is, I'd definitely be exiting my tank from the nearest exit if I saw one on the horizon



Wings also apparently provide some lift as well and are not just a rack for the weapons and fuel

the plane? its the A-10 as mentioned above. look on You tube for A-10, or A-10 Afghanistan. Somewhere on there they may even have the footage of it slowing down when the gun is fired due to it having more reverse thrust than the engines provide in forward thrust. amazing piece of kit that gun.
I though have a memory of it from when I was a kid and they used to do runs along the Suffolk coast.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
