All versions of the F-16 have always carried the M-61 Vulcan 20 mm Gatling gun. But of course the gun goes back farther than that. The B-52H once used it as the tail gun (earlier models had a quad .50 cal), and those came out in the early '60s IIRC. A-7, F-14, and other aircraft also used the Vulcan. The Army used it as a ground based air defense weapon, either towed or mounted on an M-113 chassis.
