that will use up space/weight that could be used for

SUU23 on the F4D/E worked pretty good. 1100 rounds and you could do a
world of hurt with it.

According to:

http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0163.shtml

and

http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=8&gl=us

The gun on the JSF will be a 4-barreled version of the GAU-12/U
called the GAU-22/A. In it's podded form, it will be carried on a
dedicated centerline pylon between the aft portion of the weapons
bays.

I wonder what effect that will have on the aircraft's ability to drop
weapons from the bays?
