All...I was wondering: have there been any guns-only air to air kills by

US
aircraft since SE Asia?
As an aside, what are the thoughts of those who have been in combat?

Are
guns
on board nostalga, or, are they a practical weapon?

Thanks in advance.

A-10 vs helicopter. Desert Storm.

The more I think about this the more I think it may be wrong. I now think
they may have used bombs.


No, you're correct the first time. There were two helo kills by A-10s using the
GAU-8. The LGB kill was by an F-15E.
