“We used to pass around a dummy round from the A-10. That opened some eyes.”


I have an empty shell casing from an Avenger round. A round of .50 AP that I have goes in easily and just rattles around...kind of like a round of.223 in the case of a .50. The Avenger round and its cannon are incredible.

RIP, Mr. Sprey, and thanks for helping to keep the Russians on their side of the line.

I briefly worked at Hill AFB near where the 30mm Gatlings are refurbished. It makes an impressive sound when they fire 100 rounds while testing. I still have a couple of cases laying around.
