We had 2 of these land at Cannon AFB earlier this year. That's a pretty damned good number of bullets too PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

That is truly and Impressive Rate of Fire. That interior mounted Gun looks a little disconcerting with the flimsy flap over it. I could see where an External Mounted Pod might be the way to go for this Airframe.

The external weapons pod kind of negates some to the stealth capability doesn't it? When one considers it only carries 220 rounds, it has four seconds of ammunition.
