I own one of the real depleted uranium rounds. Dad was maintenance super for the A-10 squadron at Eielson AFB AK in the mid 80's.

Let me sing you the song of my people *BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*
icwatududther
If you take the gun out, the plane will tip backwards if you don't put a jack under the tail.
ICarpeYourDiems
I've known a few Jacks that were just dumb enough to be used for that function.
insan3guy
Rear landing gears on planes are supposed to be close to the center of gravity, so that actually isn't too surprising
RobertCrawford3
Correct. The plane is built around the cannon.

That's that crazy gun that in theory could jump mountains with the recoil
NotSoSmartAlek
If you had unlimited ammo that didn't affect your mass but did affect recoil, sure.
MufLR
Recoil is almost exactly same as thrust of the single A-10 engine.
nonCanadianGoose
These are also attached to CIWS & CRAM too if I remember correctly
Nuttsy
Goalkeeper. Dutch equivalent.
ddd0
No, CIWS uses the M61 Vulcan, which has but a fraction of the GAU-8's muzzle energy.
nonCanadianGoose
There’s a 4 barreled 20mm variant of CRAM that’s used by a European forces as an AA Gun
ddd0
C-RAM is a broad category. Iron dome is considered CRAM. So is MANTIS. And CIWS.

Damn. That's a whole lot of freedom per second.
BorkLocutus
Worth noting that you really shouldn't spin the barrels with hand, because that empties the ammo with a hell of a long BRRRRT.
MufLR
The gun is externally operated. If you rotate it by hand, it can indeed fire, but it doesn't magically goes "brrrrt" as drives are inactive.
BorkLocutus
Happened during maintenance in Netherlands with F16, that has a smaller gatling gun too.
MufLR
That is just wild guess, afaik investigation is still ongoing.

How much would one round cost?

You want that in Freedom Dollars or Justice Bucks?

Not quite what you're asking, but as someone else linked: https://www.amazon.com/Thunderbolt-Warthog-Collectors-Inert-Cannon/dp/B00I7EVQ0E

Thank you, just found out they are about 136 dollar each...about 160,000 dollar for a magazine.

OK, so... a bit under 2.5K for Nate Dogg to get his "16 in the clip & one in the hole", for about .2sec of fun. Now we know!

Is there somewhere a person could buy a single (not live) round? That would be wicked to just have that.

https://www.amazon.com/Thunderbolt-Warthog-Collectors-Inert-Cannon/dp/B00I7EVQ0E There are other sellers online if you dont want it in black

If they're so great, why do you keep selling them? And why not step up to the R1?
0TheTiger
Been stuffing tracers into those projectiles for the past two weeks...good times.
twfeline
I'm hearing that tracer rounds don't have the same trajectory as other types of rounds, so are not so useful. Compensation factor?
0TheTiger
Seems like the majority of traced rounds tend to be training.
t81rd
They also clean the barrels from what I've been told
Hotpress
something something I'm already tracer...imma go die now
toxcrusadr
IIRC the regular rounds are depleted uranium, yes?
0TheTiger
No not anymore us government has stopped production and has been demilitarizing them.
ObliqueRay
Can someone lick one and tell us what it tastes like?
Pokegeologist
Cancer and birth defects.

Has a 5 to 1 mix of PGU-14/B armor piercing incendiary rounds with an aluminum body cast about a smaller caliber depleted uranium core

Thanky!
Tikityler
Fun fact, its called the party mix. (Combat Mix is the actual name)
toxcrusadr
Is there an Extreme Nacho Cheese version? I mean that would be cool.
modus0
You've got it wrong, the cannon isn't mounted in the plane, the plane is mounted on the cannon.
HoneyBadgersAreBadAsses
wrong. The plane is mounted in the bullet. This is how it flies.
barbarian818
*shrink wrapped onto the cannon. And off centre too! (and yes I know why that is)
FrostyOblivion
You are correct good sir.
SputterSpark
They invented a really cool gun, realised none of the extant vehicles could mount it effectively so they made it a plane
SputterSpark
One of the few vehicles with a spinal mount cannon as seen in a lot of scifi starships
AirplaneNerd
That's basically correct.
simplysaline
BADG3RTACT
The A-10 is on the accessory list for this weapon system
arocktrucker777
Oh yeah. I think I read somewhere they designed the plane around the gun.
tweakbz
True statement!
PhilKenSebban
The guns thoughts on this
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Well, they did design the weight distribution around the cannon, so you're not far off
AirplaneNerd
More than weight distribution, the nose landing gear is off center so the gun's firing barrel can be dead-on centerline.
mdjwill018888
intashu
I was about to say.. The literally designed the plane around the gun.
lmScruffyTheJanitor
Exactly. It's basically a Deathstar.
Sydronaar
Failed the first time. The gun used to be center mounted till they tested and the recoil stalled the plane. The plane was then shifted over.
FrenziiTheSuccubus
"You know what would make this weapon more effective? Let's make this sumbitch fly."
johnsquared1829
Ok, but we can’t let the pilot fire it for too long because it slows the plane down too much.
sithrakhatesyouequally
"Sir, we'd have to design a new plane specifically for this gun." - "what you're saying is, there'll be a juicy new contract up for grabs?"
YourSincerely
This isn't even a joke.
idontlikepickingusername
Considering how much imgur is obsessed with this plane I think everyone is already aware
GodIHateMemes

Brrrrrrrrtttt is life...not a game.
ReaperCDN
Worth noting that every fighter craft and bomber is nothing more than a weapons delivery system. Jet pilots are basically metal FedEx
AirplaneNerd
Aerospace engineers build the delivery system. Civil Engineers build the targets.
NotSoSmartAlek
And sometimes they deliver people instead.

World's fastest camera:
johnvictor
I can't wait until the Aurora is declassified so we can get a look at it.
ReaperCDN
That's not the space shuttle.
ReaperCDN
Actually, correction to my last, the Juno probe is the fastest camera we've ever built. Clocked in at 165,000 mph (265,000 kmph).
VashtheStampede47
Did it have the fastest acceleration though or just speed?
NomadSpork
Both New Horizons and the Parker Solar Probe have exceeded that. At least New Horizons carries a camera.
GuyInTheHat
Worth noting that this Gatling gun is fired it slows the plan down
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
wow.
zenoshogun
Its worth noting that an air rifle mounted on the plane shooting forwards slows the plane down (albeit less so).
kindpanda
Technically that happens any time a plane fires a forward facing cannon
RobotBeardThePirate
That is actually a myth. Its perpetuated by a10 pilots but still a myth
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
Stop downvoting this comment, he's right.
NewQiScifiJumper
I love it when a plan comes together.. Slowly..
Elnauriel
Yay conservation of momentum!
JamesJabberwocky
To be precise: The GAU-8/A has a recoil of 44.5kN. Each of the A-10's engines ist at 40,3 kN. 10004 and 9064 lbs of force respectively.
GadenKerensky
How long would the gun have to fire to stall the plane, assuming infinite ammo.
thundercactus
The barrels would melt long before it stalled out
Crazywelderguy
only by 5 knots at absolute max. The A-10 doesn't carry enough ammo to slow it down by any appreciable amount.
JamesJabberwocky
1350 rounds of 30mm HEI mixed with some API. The API has a core of depleted Uranium. which will be deployed in less than 21 seconds.
TheVampireDante
Re-design is in order, thing needs to carry more ammunition.
MarcoPoloOnPollo
It carries plenty. Firing it all at once would cause the barrels to bend from the heat.
barbarian818
We need to come up with a gun and ammo system so over the top that a plane can be brought to a dead stop mid-air!
barbarian818
or, alternatively, when mounted to the rear, provides enough thrust for take off...
goosebusters
Its main gun isn't actually that effective. Most of the time the A10 drops JDAMs.
Jammiepak
Expensive breaks. Must make a real mess of the end of the runway.
Vesorias
*brakes
Jammiepak
That too
ShitSpeckledMuppetFart
Which is why you always see the plane go into a bit of a dive when they fire it.
neil137
that's for aiming bud
Overcucumbered
I think the main purpose is to point the gun towards what their firing at
OafLikesaSmallBike
They go into a dive to shoot the target on the ground
ShitSpeckledMuppetFart
That too. I’ve always heard they go into a dive when firing as well to prevent a stall.
TwelveFoot
The gun's thrust is roughly equal to the thrust of one of the two engines. Not sure if it could fly indefinitely on "one" engine. But ammo
thundercactus
It's required to be able to fly on just one
AIRBORNEALLTHEWAY
- smile big as shit and say their main canon. Firing the gun overwhelms you with the smell of powder & shakes the whole plane, it's amazing.
ShitSpeckledMuppetFart
I can imagine that’s an amazing feeling
AIRBORNEALLTHEWAY
I can tell you first hand that the canon won't stall the bird and that if you ask any A10 pilot which weapon system they prefer they'll all-
Crazywelderguy
Kind of an urban legend. A pilot can fire the Gau-8 until he runs out of ammo, and will not stall. It only slows by 5 knots max.
Crazywelderguy
The A-10 doesn't carry enough Ammo to produce enough force to stall the aircraft.
