30mm cannon firing depleted uranium shells… 2100-4200 rounds per minute… 3500 feet per second muzzle velocity… 69mm armor penetration at 500 meters… 38mm penetration at 1km… I came…
don’t forget the titanium ‘bathtub’ for the pilot, double redundant control hydraulics PLUS a cable control system, and (checks model box) 11 weapons hardpoints
I love the fact that , as Wikipedia states, ” The aircraft is designed to fly with one engine, one tail, one elevator and half a wing torn off.”
Plus it is so slow and ugly that it takes bird strikes from the rear..
but if they’re broke down, i’d want the VW
What does that gun go on!? Holy shits!
ON the fuxing A10 – a plane!
Talk about an ‘outboard cannon’! With one of these noone would give you any shit on the road!
I want all this, in this

the A10 was designed around the function of the cannon. it’s the only time that has ever happened. i’d like to see it shoot the VW.
Heavy Weapons Guy just blew a load in his shorts.
Is this some kind of an anti-God weapon?
Maybe the most awesome ever fit in a single Wikipedia article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8/A_Avenger
The A-10 is quite a beast itself. It was definitely the second best thing in Terminator Salvation, right after Moon Bloodgood.
