How the Gatling Gun Actually Works?

This is the modern Gatling gun.

It’s ingeniously designed so that ammunition is continuously fed through a tracked loop, using an electrical current to ignite massive 20-millimeter rounds.

But the US Military needed to cram this monster into a fighter jet.

Picture a high-stakes dogfight where a pilot has to protect a US president in Air Force One from an incoming enemy jet

Due to the Close Proximity and trying to avoid collateral damage.

The pilot aligns their targeting dot, squeezes the trigger, and fires spraying thousands of rounds of 20 mm round per minute to shred the threat.

"But" The military didn't stop there;

they went even further and mounted this heavy weapon onto a small tracked vehicle.

From the turret, a soldier manually tracks an incoming aircraft or drone by his eye.

Then, aided by a range-finding radar, they squeeze the trigger and unleash devastating bursts of 100, 500, or even 1,000 rounds per minute.

They even tried putting this same weapon on the nimble Cobra helicopter, but the sheer recoil almost shook the chopper right out of the sky.

To solve the problem, engineers had to scale the weapon down, removing barrels from the heavy six-barrel design so the aircraft could handle it.
