“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.

In the photos at the site you linked, it looks like the gun is not mounted on the aircraft centerline. I wonder why.

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.
