Speaking of the A-10, I know the gun on that bad boy is hardcore, but does anybody know how long they can fire it for? I guess what I am asking is how much ammo do they take with them? Im sure everyone has heard the saying that if they could fire the gun long enough it would stop the airplane

1174 total rounds. Fired in 2-3 second bursts. GAU-8/A fires 50 rounds/second in the first second; 75 rounds/second thereafter.

And fun to fire.
