A 30 mm Gatling gun would be over 100 caliber, has anyone ever made one of those ?
Yes, and it fires depleted uranium tank killer bullets
The gun came first then they built the A10 "Warthog" around the gun.

I agree, the warthog was often called"Oh Shik" by those it was fired upon.
But many get confused by relating Xmm to Caliber.
one millimeter= 39 thousands, 3 tenths, and 70 millionths of an inch, exactly.
In metric measurement they round up/down in relating MM to Caliber, hence...a 7 mm caliber=.284 inches.
In real terms, 7 mm= .27559 inches.
It gets cornfusing, but a 120 mm anything, is one big ash gun.
