When the Vulcans opened up, the enemy fire ceased, Osmon said. It was great. Technically it's a GAU-8/A Avenger, but whatever he wants to call it, I'm not surprised the enemy fire ceased. It is a hellacious weapon.

Enemy fire did not cease, the enemy ceased. That gun will chew up some real estate.

"Technically it's a GAU-8/A Avenger, but whatever he wants to call it, I'm not surprised the enemy fire ceased. It is a hellacious weapon." Yes, and I'd like to see it mounted on an armored, ground-pounding tank in place of the main battle cannon for some models.
We need heavy anti-personnel firepower in highly armored vehicles.
