A-10 Warthog 30MM Cannon Collectors Dummy Round

Product Information

Because the gun's recoil forces could push the entire plane off target during firing, the weapon is mounted laterally off-center, slightly to the port side of the fuselage centerline, with the active firing barrel lying directly on the aircraft's centerline. [6] The firing barrel also lies just below the aircraft's center of gravity, being bore-sighted along a line 2 degrees below the aircraft's line of flight. This arrangement accurately centers the recoil forces, preventing changes in aircraft pitch or yaw when fired. This configuration also leaves space for the front landing gear, which is mounted slightly off-center on the starboard side of the nose. [19] The average recoil force of the GAU-8/A is 10,000 pounds-force (45kN), [5] [21] which is slightly more than the output of each of the A-10's two TF34 engines of 9,065lbf (40.3kN). [22] While this recoil force is significant, in practice a cannon-fire burst slows the aircraft by only a few miles per hour in level flight. [20] Variants [ edit ]

An inch is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including Imperial units, and United States customary units. There are 36 inches in a yard and 12 inches in a foot. The inch is usually the universal unit of measurement in the United States, and is widely used in the United Kingdom, and Canada, despite the introduction of metric to the latter two in the 1960s and 1970s, respectively. The inch is still commonly used informally, although somewhat less, in other Commonwealth nations such as Australia; an example being the long standing tradition of measuring the height of newborn children in inches rather than centimetres. The international inch is defined to be equal to 25.4 millimeters. a b "Fact Sheet: General Electric GAU-8/A "Avenger" 30mm Cannon". Hill Air Force Base. Archived from the original on 2011-06-04.

The decision between the two depends on factors such as the intended use, the target type, and the circumstances under which it will be used. In this article, we will examine the differences between 30mm and 50 caliber bullets, their purposes, and how to determine which is the best option for a particular situation.
