"My apologies. I did not realize the Sgt. York had twin-40's. However, the "gatling-on-a-tank-chasis" idea was tried, and it failed."

No problem, but keep in mind that the Sgt. York failed in a different mission. Who wants to perform air defense with cannons these days, after all?!

I want gattling cannons to be used for anti-personnel operations, a mission that this weapon already excels at on the battle-proven A-10 ground attack fighter.

Why not use the self-propelled M163 or buy more of the LAV-AA the USMC has?

Both are already available... all you need to do is hang a little extra armor on it.
