And it's green too! It recycles the casings.

Rodger, you got my new tailgun for the B-52; it's f**king beautiful!
I'll come over tonight to install it. Have some bottle jacks, some cribbing, tin snips, pop rivets, lots of duct tape and something for a counterweight to put in the nose.
Look out Olympia and San Fran.

How do it know?

That there's a tank killer. I could be wrong, but I think the GAU-8 was designed for the nose of an A-10 Warthog.

The Warthog is my Very Favorite War Machine Ever. If I'd had eyes good enough and all the other requirements, I'd have signed up with the MD ANG in the 80's if they promised me I could fly one. In another life, I would have been in Desert Storm flying one into Iraq dealing out serious F-U-up to Saddam's henchmen in 1991.
I friggin' LOVE that airplane. It's a damned flying tank. I'd give just about anything for a ride in one, but there are no 2-seaters. They fly over my house sometimes out of Willow Grove. It's easy to notice their distinctive noise. Sigh.

MoFiZiX Gr4FiX,
My understanding was they started with the GAU-8, then they built the A-10 around it.
One of the finest airplanes in the US inventory: perhaps the only plane where every pilot knows his job is to support the land battle.
(yes I was in the army- why do you ask?) -

The Air Farce hates the A-10. It's not stealthy, it's not fast, it's not sexy. The fact that it does its job very well is beside the point.
When the Air Force tries to retire the A-10, the Army and Marine Corps should lobby to take them over. (Yes, I know the Army is not allowed to have fixed wing combat aircraft.) -

Those A-10's from Willow Grove fly down to my neck of the woods in Ocean County and practice at the Willow Grove Gunnery Range. They are a sight to behold and the unmistakable "zipper" sound of the GAU can be heard for miles. Just thinking about the pain they can inflict brings tears to my eyes.

Damm amateurs. The most awesome war machine of all time has been, and will continue to be, Fat Man.
Rodg, feel free to revoke leave for those boyos. -

A bomb doesn't count as a fighting machine. No single-use weapon does.

The A-10 Warthog is a thing of beauty. It's not optimized for every job, it's optimized for one job - tank busting close air support.
