robvr- Navy Phantoms were capable of carrying a 20mm gunpod, but there is an
abundance of references stating this weapon was worse than useless for
air to air use, and thus not carried. BRBR

The biggest obstacle was the weight of the thing and how ya had to 'bring it
back'. If ya had 2 and 2 and the pod, max trap was in the 4.0 range. Plus wing
tanks got the crap beat outta them on the boat.
