Muzzle v plus other issue[edit]

Is there a reliable source to back the claim of 3600 ft/s? AFAIK, the muzzle v used to be around 3100 with the GAU-8 and the very same ammo. That would mean a ~30% increase in kinetic energy, with the same propellant. Is that at all possible? 217.251.166.67 (talk) 14:17, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And how does GAU-12 compare to GAU-13?

List inside list: Soviet/Russia inside Modern Gatling guns[edit]

I see the 7.62 WP round twice in a row:

Left column - Right column - Tooltip

7.62x54mm - GshG-7.62 - GShG-7.62 machine gun

7.62x54mm - Slostin - Slostin machine gun That is, the tooltips look consistent with the entries, but AFAIK, these two entries should be in the same row. Or shouldnt they? 217.251.166.67 (talk) 14:17, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation[edit]

"Unlike the GAU-8, however, it is pneumatically driven" Hey, I thought the GAU-8 was pneumatically driven. This needs clarifying. --217.209.145.79 (talk) 00:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
