Cased or Caseless?[edit]

The 14 June 1996 report "DOD Cased Telescoped Ammunition and Gun Technology Program" out of the Inspector General's office lists the GAU-7 ammo as using cased telescoped ammunition. Is there a source to support this articles claim that caseless ammunition was used? MCG 03:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another source describes GAU-7/A telescoped ammunition as featuring a combustible case (therefore not caseless). http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?&verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADB024728 -- MCG 03:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
