Interesting information on the feed system. You are correct that the airframe was built around the weapon. For those unfamiliar with the A10, notice that the nose gear is offset to accommodate the the centerline placement of the gun.

I posted that pic because I'm currently working on a proposal to manage the DU waste from 6.2 million PGU-14's. Anyone got a use for 6.2M 30mm API pull downs?
I'm guessing that the USAF has decided they don't need the 1:4 or 1:5 DU APIs in the belts any more.

I do! I do!
Can you deliver them to a staging area close but out of sight of Schloss Nitrocellulose? ?
More idiocy like banning the CBU's, which were another of the A10's arsenal of hate and discontent. Is anyone looking around the world and NOT realizing that we couple of enemies with a LOT of armor. If we shitcan the DU rounds how long and how expensive is it going to be for us to make them again when the A10 needs to go back to killing tanks instead of durkhas?
The common man keeps ammo in stable conditions for decades and decades, and they don't want to warehouse what they've already spent on?
I guess they'll just as for more money when we're shooting up Central Europe.
I worked with the first prototype of the Hydradragon (I think that was the name) linking/belt loading system (no longer recall the correct nomenclature). Took six guys: one to turn on/off, one to feed belts into containers and four to watch for malfunctions. Occasionally, a round would not extract from the tube. When it cycled around it would drive the projectile into the primer of another round if the inspector didn't catch it.
The engineer made the mistake of asking what we thought of his "baby."
Seen today at the SHOT show... and in the US Optics booth no less....
Snowflake AR500 steel targets! I must have one of these!!!

200 years of American History and we land a man on the moon... 10,000 years of African history and....
Nice pictures but golf still sucks ass like a Kansas City faggot.
That also looks underage unlike the land beast just above my post. Even the refugees are not that hard up.
The DU projectiles would make for a fine project.
Being in KommieFornia, how do we neck that brass down to say 30 caliber. Ok- maybe 50 caliber so we can shoot some non lead projectiles at coastal deer or wild hogs with some velocity.
The department of fish and nature lovers banned lead in hunting ammo as the science showed it posed zero threat to nature.
So an all copper projectile moving at 3,000 m/S might work out ok

Don’t think so. Looks more like a 50 bmg necked to 6mm.Here is 20mm necked to .50
See that hoof cocked back, officer choky choke is about to get a mouthful of bloody chiclets.
You know, it was rumored that the Army had some .375 caliber DU projectiles... ?
