May as well use the modified Blackhawk in the DAP program if you want to mow a target down.

M230LF is probably what you refer to in a tripod mount, it's a different beast.

It is derived form the Apache's M230 and fires the same ammo. So, for all intents and purposes (eg appearing in this thred), they are essentially the same.

The Bronco was really underpowered.
When the pilots for the A-10 fired the GAU8, they had to push the throttle up first to compensate for the recoil. How's the Bronco going to match the firepower of the GAU8? A machine gun's not a match for a 30mm cannon.
