I was watching a video today on YouTube about an F-16 doing a gun strafing run...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVJOOjUlGek&feature=g-all-u
When this comment came up...

The M61 20mm Vulcan has selectable bursts of 2-4-40-50 rounds,? per trigger pull.


First post so forgive me if I messed the quote and didn't know how to hot link.

Um no. In fact I don't even know if there is still a High or Low fire rate any more. You would waste rounds in the clearing cycle with 2 and 4 round bursts.

you could set the rounds counter to 004. You just better be a damn sniper with that thing. Smile
