Probably not, the 30mm rounds from the A-10 have an aluminum case which, when the empties aren't being handed out as souvenirs, are probably sent to be recycled.

Sedalia Dave Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Nice size comparison The GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun next to a VW Type 1. Removing an installed GAU-8 from an A-10 requires first installing a jack under the aircraft's tail to prevent it from tipping, as the cannon makes up most of the aircraft's forward weight.

Trailrider #896 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I disagree with one part of the initial statement of the purpose of the A-10. Yes, we want to be able to deliver CAS close to friendly forces! But we don't want to deliver ordnance "close" to the enemy; we want it right on the buggers! Which the A-10 does amazingly well! I'm also not sure about the designation of the A-10 as an aircraft... That sucker is a flying tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
