gumpokc,
Thanks! Kinda wonder whether they were actually functional, or just set up for "movie fire" (I'm not gonna bet that they actually work).
Wow! For all of the great info above and beyond what I was looking for, thanks! I was aware of the 20 and 30mm gatling guns that were used, as well as the miniguns, but had no idea the standard altitude, air speed, etc. they generally saw service under. The 20mm gatling gun also was fitted on the F-4 Phantoms as they initially came eqipped only for missiles and bombs. It was quite a success, and consequently they added the 20mm as standard armament.
