The A-10 thunderbolts cannon is the GAU-8 Avenger which is a massive 7 barrel gatling cannon that is 30mm and it is used mostly for air to ground support like taking out tanks and other vehicles. the GAU-8 fires 1,800 rounds per minute, with the higher 4200 rd/min rate having been deleted in the 1980s. However, the A-10 can only fire in high rate, which is 3900 rounds per minute.
This gun that will be used on the Arrow 2 will be the GAU-88 bloodhawk which will be a massive 10 barrel gatling cannon that will be 30 to 50mm and it will be used for air-to-air and air to ground support it will fire at a rate of 3,800 rpm air and 1,800 rpm ground.
