Sharp Shooting Analysis (F-35 Ammo)

30 degree is too big , probably 2-3 degree maximum

2-3 deg is HUGE! That would take a lot of the fine tracking requirements out of the equation and would allow a passing snapshot to land 2-4 center of mass hits.

Updated EXACTO test firings
It would be cool to see that applied to the 25mm ammo for the F-35 . It would be too cost prohibitive though

I agree, it would be too expensive to be used as regular ammo.
This sounds like it's better used in sniper rifles / man portable systems.
Was searching the forum about the gunpod, and came across this old thread.
Has anyone heard the status of the APEX ammunition (PGU-48 APEX or PGU-47, not sure which)?
I thought I had ready it was good-to-go for the European users of the F-35, but the US was going with either FAP or PELE. Then I seem to recall Bogden saying something that didn't sound promising vis-a-vis the APEX ammunition.

Take an F-16, stir in A-7, dollop of F-117, gob of F-22, dash of F/A-18, sprinkle with AV-8B, stir well + bake. Whaddya get? F-35.
