It is a highly flexible design that can be customised with different ammunition arrangements, gunner’s cabin, sights, sensors or co-mounted weapons such as small missiles or other light guns. MSI-DSL markets the mount as the ‘Seahawk DS’ family but this designation is not officially used by the RN which instead refers to the whole system as the Automated Small Calibre Gun (ASCG) or more commonly, “the 30mm”. a b "Fact Sheet: General Electric GAU-8/A "Avenger" 30mm Cannon". Hill Air Force Base. Archived from the original on 2011-06-04. The GAU-8/A ammunition feed is linkless, reducing weight and avoiding a great deal of potential for jamming. The feed system is double-ended, allowing the spent casings to be returned to the ammunition drum. [15] Additionally, returning empty cases to the drum has less effect on the aircraft's center of gravity than ejecting them. The feed system is based on that developed for later M61 installations, but uses more advanced design techniques and materials throughout, to save weight.

A-10 warthog planes often use the gau-8 avenger 30mm weapon system, while sniper teams often use a 50 cal weapon. Armored vehicles, such as the stryker, can also be equipped with 30mm or 50 cal weapon systems for added protection. ConclusionLower rate of fire: 50 caliber guns have a lower rate of fire than 30mm guns, which makes them slower at engaging multiple targets. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w AMKAT, Ammunitionskatalog, Data och bilder, Flygvapnet.

These were fitted across the fleet in the mid-late 1980s to replace the 40mm Bofors and provide better close in air-defence or until more Phalanx CIWS mounts were available. Yes, it certainly is supposed to be better- although not sure how much better than a 40 mm Bofors equivalent.

Cost is an essential factor when choosing between 30mm and 50 caliber ammunition. Generally, 30mm rounds are cheaper than 50 caliber rounds. However, factors such as availability, demand, and government regulations can affect the cost. As the trend persists toward long-range warfare, the demand for 50 caliber rounds is expected to increase. Developments in technology will enable these rounds to travel farther while maintaining accuracy. A common type of ammunition used in a 50 cal weapon system is the armor-piercing (ap) round, which is designed to penetrate against heavy armor.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.I don’t know how much of an issue it really is, but I understand Nic Drummond to have fairly good information. Both 30mm and 50 caliber ammunition have their own unique features and benefits. It solely depends on the shooter’s preference and the purpose of the ammunition which one is chosen. Nevertheless, understanding the historical development, comparison, bullet size, weight, speed, accuracy, and effective range of both can help shooters make an informed decision.
