Fuji X-T1 and XF 35mm f/2.0 WR R Lens – 1/30 @ f/2.8 – ISO 800
This is the business end of a 30mm Rotary Cannon on a Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog Anti-Tank aircraft. This canon is designed to fire a maximum of 3900 rounds per minute with 50 rounds per second (for the first second until the rotary canon comes up to speed) and up to 70 rounds per second thereafter.
If I was on the ground and needed help there would be no doubt with “who you gonna call”
Here is a link to this amazing aircraft – A-10 Thunderbolt II
Was this shot from an aircraft boneyard?

Nice shot of this lethal canon. Good info, too. I would not want to be in the path of a Warthog.
