Sounds like it. Let's see - a number of vulcan 20 mm, and at least one 105mm on board the A/C - 130 Spectre. A seriously "killer" machine - pun intended.

I think you're referring to an earlier model. The AC-130 carries a 25 mm. Gatling gun, a 40 mm. Bofors cannon, and the 105mm cannon.

The rate of fire is thousands of rounds per _minute_, not per second, and not counting the 25 mm. weapon is only a bit over one hundred rounds per minute. The 40 mm and 105 mm rounds pack a pretty good punch though.
