The US Phalanx CWIS fires 20x102mm rounds; the Russian Palash CIWS fires 30x165mm rounds; the Dutch Goalkeeper CIWS fires 30x173mm rounds. The 30x173mm is the same round fired by the GAU-8 rotary cannon of the A-10 Warthog. The GAU-8 is also the main gun of Goalkeeper CIWS. The 30x173mm cartridge is NATO standard.
