Army there in 03, always felt ripped off I never got an A10 as CAS, we would get Apache's and Kiowa's for air support though, pretty damn good as well.
Former A-10 Crew Chief here. The gun is rarely loaded to full capacity of 1350 rounds. 1174 is the standard load, and if I remember correctly, it's because the "Dragon", or the device used to load the A-10's gun holds half that amount. So two full loads from the Dragon and the gun is full enough.
As a two tour Vietnam era Marine (1965-66/1970-71) we didn't have the A-10 but we did have the F-4 Phantom and the A-4 Sky Hawk for close air support. No matter what aircraft arrived it was welcomed when you needed it! Tom Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired 0369 Infantry Unit Leader
Thank You sir for serving in "Nam" I had three older cousins who served. All came home but "damaged" non the less. One came through LAX and was spit on by people there protesting the WAR. That was in Feb of 1970, if I remember, right. He had ordered a car from Chevrolet a Midnight Blue color Chevy Nova with 427 and 4 speed in the Fall of '69. His brother picked it up. I think it was Feld, Chevrolet... don't remember but he came over to our house to give us all a ride! I NEVER got back in that in that car, again. He scared the B Jesus out me and my sister. It was fast. He was never the same, thou. Never married... After "Nam" he committed suicide. 30 years ago. Cliff you were a good person. People War is HELL! Never forget THAT!
Yup, about a third. At one point the drum was about 1350 rounds but they constantly tweak the armament payload based on past field/war experience and perceived future use so it can go lower or higher in the future. And you're spot on about the what rate means.

The A-10 carries 1350 rounds of depleated uranium ammo. It fires in about 50 round burst as the gun produces so much gas, continuously firing it would stall the engines. A10 pilots have a saying, "If you heard my gun, I wasn't shooting at you". Me USAF 1984-90.
I currently watch one of your older videos where you said something about the poverty and how much we spend on our military in the US. You can see people begging on the streets of the United States 4 ft away from a sign that says looking for work $15 an hour. Most of the poverty in the US is people who don't want to work because they make millions begging for money.
Aside from a little glitch with the world's strongest navy thing, you two are quite well- informed on the topics of the videos you show. I'm impressed.
I was in the Marine Air Wing from 1977-1981 stationed at Cherry Point N.C. and we had one parked on our flight line, what a beautiful aircraft!! I worked on the EA-6B Prowler, hydraulics and flight controls. It was an electronic warfare aircraft!!
It shoots that many rounds per minute but it will never be suppressed for the full minute The gun would probably melt it fires in short burst controlled and very accurate
I have Kim Campbell's book telling her story. Her A10 is now on display at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro North Carolina. The plane was too damaged to be flyable.It was stripped of usable parts. The title of book is "Flying In The Face Of Fear "
1,350 rounds is max capacity... the pilot can basically pull the trigger 8-9 times in very controlled burst or they could just dump it all in 22.5 seconds, the cannon also returns the spent shells back into the plane for 2 main reasons the location of the 2 jet engines and it also acts as a ballast to keep the weight distributed... you have to remember the plane is literally built around a huge cannon... they just put wings on it 😂
Google says the A-10 can hold 1350 rounds. A pilot has about 20 seconds of fire. Google says they usually hold 1174 because of armor added to protect the ammo.
My comment about the US sending A-10s to the Middle East to intimidate and prevent any nation from interfering in Yisreel's genocide has been removed twice by YT.
Dude is wrong. It's around 3000 rounds per burst. Averaging around 30 seconds. He was thinking of the f15/16 Is gatling gun. The warthog on he ammunition was accurate. And has a payload of 18,000 rounds. That allows it to fire 3000 rounds per 30 seconds without melting the barrels. That is 12 times of firing 3000 at once or less if needed. Most likely 3 second burst are used at 600 rounds. That is generally enough to take out any 3 tanks and half of an infantry. A multi use 500 lbs bomb is generally used to cover up, or more per perpottion of the tank platoon or convoy
Dude... you are very, very wrong.. it is 3900 rds a minute and their max capacity is 1,350 rds and they can only pull the trigger 8-9 times... but what do I know it's not like I can call my friend who I've known since 5th grade that has been flying them for well over a decade... he wouldn't know😂
@@DS-182 I agree I was giving a 30 second burst estimate instead of getting into mager details. I do know at average its around 3 seconds per burst unless it's a convoy, or if theirs multiple tanks

The 3900 rounds per minute is if the gun was to fire continuously for one minute. The amount of rounds carried is about a third of that.

if you have to fire this thing for a minute and it's not dead, you're fighting God.
The A10 carrys about 1350 rounds ❤ each round is the size of a beer bottle
you and the narrator must be drinking really small beers...length? maybe ... diameter? hell no a 30mm round is half the diameter of a standard 60mm beer bottle
That's kind of true. There are auto cannons that can be mounted on the pylons for maximum brrrrrr.
During the first gulf War A-10's destroyed over 900 tanks,trucks, and artillery pieces.
F-111 aardvark has entered the chat no but on a serious note the aardvark destroyed just over a 1000 tanks
dad worked on these in the gulf war
"the a-10 pilots would give us beer while we fix their plane, the jets gave us the smug look" - my pops
That plane was our best friend during the Gulf War. You hear that sound and you know it’s going to put a hurt on someone
Yes, as an American, I can confirm: We love our Warhogs! 😁
It has three separate control systems. Two are hydraulic and one is manual. Hence the term triple redundant system
Our cross of death. Love that plane.
The A-10 carries 1350 rounds of depleated uranium ammo. It fires in about 50 round burst as the gun produces so much gas, continuously firing it would stall the engines. A10 pilots have a saying, "If you heard my gun, I wasn't shooting at you". Me USAF 1984-90.
3900 soup cans per minute* That gun is a legitimate terror.
It takes a special person to be in the fight that way
If you hear the brrrrrrrpt, you weren't the target.
And remember the 20 mm galling on other planes are like hunting rifle rounds while the 30mm from a10 ar like beer bottles coming at you that explode
We literally call the sound of the A-10 gun going off a “Freedom Fart”

That’s the sound of freedom, son.
Love your videos! Greetings from Glen Allen, Virginia near the state capital of Richmond, VA!

Love this plane The death fart

get in there my son haha, exactly!
“You dOnT haVe fRee hEalTHcaRe”
Laughs in 30mm high explosive (brrrrrt) 😂
Just in the Iraq war, the A-10 destroyed 987 tanks 926 pieces of artillery and 1,355 combat vehicles. Ten fighters and two helicopters.
Most Fighter Pilots: "My Plane Has A Gun!!"
A-10 Pilots: "That's Nice!! My Gun Has A Plane!!"
It shoots that many rounds per minute but it will never be suppressed for the full minute The gun would probably melt it fires in short burst controlled and very accurate
Freedom goes Brrrrrrr.
The gun gets fired is short bursts
I'd love to see guys getting into the Casual Geographic videos if you like to learn things about animals in the most fun way possible.
somewhere over 1000, but fires only like 2-3 seconds to kill each target, i was a tech on 20mm
I have Kim Campbell's book telling her story. Her A10 is now on display at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro North Carolina. The plane was too damaged to be flyable.It was stripped of usable parts. The title of book is "Flying In The Face Of Fear "
Iconic plane. Still kickin' butt and taking names.
The A10 carries 1,350 rounds. It only fires in very short bursts of 1 to 2 seconds.
Tank in the air! And a tank killer
It holds about 1500 rounds. Enough for 8 to 10 2 second bursts which is all you need
1,350 rounds is max capacity... the pilot can basically pull the trigger 8-9 times in very controlled burst or they could just dump it all in 22.5 seconds, the cannon also returns the spent shells back into the plane for 2 main reasons the location of the 2 jet engines and it also acts as a ballast to keep the weight distributed... you have to remember the plane is literally built around a huge cannon... they just put wings on it 😂
if the a10 fires too long it literally falls out of the sky due to the amount of recoil.
Google says the A-10 can hold 1350 rounds. A pilot has about 20 seconds of fire. Google says they usually hold 1174 because of armor added to protect the ammo.
The 30mm has 7 seconds worth of ammo.
there are videos of the A10 coming in for a gun run against enemy troops check them out
It's a flying machine gun 😂
The bursts they shoot are pretty short
Another great vid guys
If my memory is correct, I believe it holds ~1150 rounds.

You should watch the leaked footage of the wart hog
Navy ships hold a fuckload of missiles
It's the second iteration of a plane no one wanted to fight. Literally built around it's gun.
It cant full fire it would stall the plane from the force of the guns force, not to mention the amount of heat. Why they burst
The Air-force wants to retire the a-10 by 2029 think the government already had this discussion ?
You guys should watch "The engineering of the A-10 warthog
