Thanks for the video! Perfect for my GAU 8 lore

This is so satisfying. I could watch a loop of the for hours.

Fun fact: The GAU-8 generates more recoil force than one of the A-10's engines. The GAU-8 is so powerful that the A-10 needs 3 separate safety systems in place to safely fire the gun. First, due to the sheer amount of recoil generated, the weapon is electronically limited to firing in bursts. If this safety system wasn't in place, firing the weapon full-auto could potentially cause the aircraft to stall, even at full throttle. Secondly, a scoop with a built-in vacuum system is placed under the weapon to collect the exhaust gasses from the gun while in use. This is because when the weapon was being field tested, the engines would ingest the weapon's exhaust gasses and flame-out due to being starved of oxygen. The scoop reduces this to a more manageable level. And lastly, as a extra measure on the engines, the engines are wired into the GAU-8's fire control electronics. So when it's firing, the engines automatically spool up to full throttle and the engine starters go into "Continuous Ignition" mode where they will be constantly firing off. That way if the engines flame-out due to ingesting the exhaust gasses from the weapon, as soon as the weapon stops firing, the engines will immediately relight.

Due to the excessive weight introduced by the GAU-8 and its ammunition to the nose of the A-10, the designers had to heavily skew the balance towards the tail to set the centre of gravity closer to the middle when loaded. However this also meant that if all the shells were expended and not kept, the weight in front would become drastically less than when it was loaded, shifting the centre of gravity further back, which is not desirable. Thus it is why the A-10 has to keep its empty 30mm cartridges so as to not shift the centre of gravity too far backwards.

its amazing that the basic functional process of that gun is from the civil war. Dr Gatling was way ahead of his time with a rotary automatic weapon.

When Caster went on his final mission, he could have carried along at least two Gatlings. He refused them, saying that they were too heavy and would slow him down.

That was super cool to see!

Probably cuz the troops just won't appreciate getting bombarded with the casings. Also possibly reloading the casings?

@@Michael-jx9bh According to another video that actually explained the operation, the spent casings would've been at risk of being ingested by the engines. Obviously that wouldn't make for a very good day, which is why they are returned to the drum.

The rain of empty cartridges of that size could cause severe injuries to anyone struck by it, including allied and civilians. It is better the shells stay in the plane.

The aircraft NEEDS to retain the empties for weight balance in flight.

@@Obie1844 The casing is like %10 of the weight of the cartirage. That doesn't make sense at all. Also the drum is probably at the center of mass of the plane so it really shouldn't matter. Also bomber planes exist.

As they say, the A-10 isn't a plane with a gun strapped on to it, it's a gun with a plane strapped on to it. For reference, the gun + ammo drum you see in the video is about as long/the size of an RV... absolute unit

Its so beautiful.

This is amazing, one of my favorite planes ever!

Great job. When you saw it outside the airframe (long-ago factory tour), the motion was so counterintuitive that it was disturbing

The recoil on the GAU-8 is so powerful that the A-10 actually sheds airspeed when the pilot pulls the trigger.

It has 2 jets for a reason. The recoil of the gun is stronger than one of the jets on the back.

No, it does not, this is a complete myth. The gun has negligible recoil on the planes airspeed.

The BRRRRRRRRR BRRRRRRRRR is implied, but felt it in my heart.

This was actually news to me, But I guess there is a technical reason: Loosing all that ballast so fast might have to do with balancing the plane while firing as well.

Does anyone know what they return the spent casings to the drum instead of just letting them fall out of the airplane?

Thank you for sharing this video, i can make my own now🤣✌️

Most importantly, brrrrrrrrrt

Fired it enough times and it never failed, can't complain

what is the purpose of the bypass chute? is it to for some reason put live rounds into the spent rounds portion of the drum? i just can't figure it out from this animation
