Why didn't it get improved upon and had its accuracy fixed? It's essentially a four-barreled GAU-8 in a gunpod.

So, what's keeping one from mounting 5 of these on an A-10 for MOAR DAKKA. If 4,200 RPM is good, 16,200 RPM should be better.

Fucking what? It's not additive.

Anon, I know you like guns but do you really NEED an A-10 with gunpods?

So what would that be able to do that a regular burst or a bomb can't?

TERs are Triple Ejector Racks. On the A-10 they sit on stations 3-9 and hold 3 of something ; CBU-89s/103s, Mk.82s, or LAU-131 Rocket Launchers.
LAU-131s are Rocket Pods that fire off 7each 2.75" Rockets (which are available in Flechette config). They have 14-inch suspension lugs, meaning they can be loaded on TERs or the A-10 stations 1, 2, 10, and 11 (though 1 and 11 are usually reserved for Air-to-Air missiles).
If you load 7 TERs (each with their 3 LAU-131s) and 2 more LAU-131s on the outboard stations, you end up with 23 Rocket Launchers, firing 7 rockets each, giving you 161 available rockets.
If these rockets are running Flechettes, you have 161 clusters of about 2000 flechettes.

Does someone want to tell me why this would be a bad idea?
>>27950924
Absolutely. The Flechettes are made for AP use.
The Flechettes are dispensed via an HE charge on a timed fuze that can be dialed up to ~7500m. Plenty good for AP work up to the high-20k's.
>>27947131
Is it possible to actually legally own one if made into semi-auto for regal use?
>>27951145
Your a crazy man to want to legally buy one.
>>27951242
What's wrong with what I asked?
I am actually curious to know if it is possible to legally buy one if converted to semi-auto only.
>>27951256
Because no normal man would even ask that question let alone say it out loud on a Mongolian image board
>>27951267
That is why I actually am asking if it is legal to buy one if made in semi-auto only.
And also I know where I am at and so should you too because otherwise from your statement you might as well not post anything if your afraid of others reading your post.

How, and more importantly, why
>>27951145
>>27951256
It's a 30mm cannon designed to fire either armor piercing and/or explosive shells. I'm pretty sure the answer is a rather resounding 'no'
>>27951256
BATFE's reigning definition of a machine-gun is that it fires (or can fire) more than one shot per trigger pull.
Both of these are externally-powered and fire through an electrically-unsafed cam path inside the gun, so you're looking at quite a few obstacles to be able to fire this in a semi-auto mode.
If you could manage to link together a power system (that could apply single bursts sufficient to advance it one round at a time, or could at least be engaged single-round-at-a-time) and a means of disengaging the safing cam for that single round in such a way as to permit you to fire only in single shots (and manage to link it all together with a single trigger pull of one mechanism) it should be good.
The bitch would be proving to the BATFE that it is incapable of firing (or being readily modified to fire) any more than one round per trigger pull.
>>27951318
Just to clarify though, the gun can't function in true Semi-Auto, because the gun doesn't cycle using the ammunition/firing; it is rotated through an external power source and will continue cycling whether or not the rounds are fired.
>>27951328
Because I like to know if it is legally possible and also it would be very fun to have to use out on the target field when you have the day off from work.
>>27951340
Then take the bullets out and fill the inside with lead and make them hunting loads that way it would be legal to use.
>>27951377
Then that is all it takes is some special redesigning to make it where it can be semi-auto.
If only there was a way for some company to take hold in this process.
Definitely not Remington though.
>>27951407
then rewire and refit the mechanism so it would work the other way.

You just got to have the will and power inside your heart and mind to take the next step on that stairs of yourself!
Look at the past we evolved from throwing stones at each other and eating ticks off of another's back to a society were we have tanks and airplanes and the internet full of surprises!
All it takes is just the desire to make it happen.
>>27951419
>then rewire and refit the mechanism so it would work the other way.
I'm sorry, but there's no reasonable way to do this.
The gun was initially designed (and always intended) to be externally-powered, much like damn near every other gatling gun known to man.
From the internal mechanisms of the gun housing to the setup of the barrel lugs, there's no suitable way to implement a gas- or recoil-based operation.
That said, there are gatling guns that are legal to own, but they fire using a hand crank. Even there, there is some legal grey area as to what constitutes a single trigger pull.
On the bright side of this, you should know that the GAU-8 and GAU-13 as it is require absolutely no modification to be able to be rotated and fired via hand crank.
>>27951464
You do got a point about how we evolved from being niggers to being human.

>>27951503
Of course there is!!!
You just got to think outside the box and think what impossible idea would work and make that impossible idea into a possible idea!
I don't really know much about the full mathematical implications on the gun BUT that isn't stopping me from looking at it from all angles!
What if we add the crank lever and make it go bang every swing of the crank?
What if we make it lever operated so you can full clint estwood on leveraging that lever action on it!
What if we add deul trigger one to chamber the round and the other to fire the round.
What if we make it become a reality and get the gun stores flooded with these so we can all have toys on our backyards for fun and joy and for getting rid of those pesky rats from our yard.
ANYTHING can become a reality good old mate!

To tell the truth, that really doesn't sound that impressive when you think about it. What do you think one could accomplish if they used a Globemaster loaded with as many 20mm-30mm gun pods as possible?
>>27951662
Out*
>>27951665
I think it would be really fun to see something turn into dust and powder in 30 seconds.
Make it chambered in 100mm just for experiment!
I can already see it form in my mind that it is being sold for only $1000 dollars for price of owning one for all people in the united states and all over the world once it gets to be legal to own outside the USA!
I love to see things be created out of ideas mates!

Can we do that with A-10?
>>27951126
i think metal storm did a test like this a while back and broke the fuck out of the airframe. working rivets everywhere and something about the rads going ape shit for 30 seconds or so after firing a burst. i'm sure they could figure something out tho
>>27951126
>Experimental Chinook smashes time to altitude records and total altitude records
>>27951126
>>27952310
Yeah, plugging that into a recoil calculator, the 110 gun configuration would have enough recoil to accelerate the Chinook in the opposite direction at 18.66 feet/s^2 and in the 165 gun configuration about 27.73 feet/s^2, not quite enough to make it hover just from firing the guns but getting there (acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet/s^2 for those who don't know/remember). Assuming one didn't adjust the rotors the 110 gun configuration would gain about 8,400 feet if one was to fire the guns until empty and the 160 gun version would gain about 3,100 feet. That might be a bit problematic.

It wouldn't even go BRRRRRRT, it would just make a solid tone, like BEEEEEEEET or something.
>>27954014
Then let the almighty gun go from BRRRRT to BEEEET then for it will be really fun and awesome to see and as well very effective in eliminating alot of enemies and as well hunt very well in the woods.
Just imagine a mansion full of fried deer meet ready to be put on plates for everyone to eat which was all done over juet the pull of the trigger to get all the deer to turn the animals into tasty steaks.

>>27954504
I like steak that's why it made me hungry.
>>27950767
Can we fill the GAU-8 with buckshot too?
>>27954513
There's no 30mm buckshot round and if there were it'd be awful for the barrels.
>>27947927
>So, what's keeping one from mounting 5 of these on an A-10 for MOAR DAKKA. If 4,200 RPM is good, 16,200 RPM should be better.
A higher rate of fire isn't worth anything if the vibrations from each gun's off-center-line recoil prevents the rounds from being on target. The A-10 is as deadly as it is, in no small part, because the rounds thrown downrange are generally on target.
>>27954533
Then add 2 gauge size barrels to it and add in custome made long shells to maximize the potential damage.
>>27954286
At that point it would be more like ground meat, guess you could go for deer burgers.
