New gun
"Stubby" wrote in message . .. The chain gun on an A-10 Thunderbolt (aka Warthog) files about 3900 rounds per minute. Another way to say it: $24,375 per second of depleted uranium rounds. But don't hold the trigger for more than 18 seconds because the barrel will melt. They don't use depleted uranium, anymore. Tungsten is now the ammo of choice. -- Jim in NC
