The older model (AC-130H) had two 20mm Gatling guns firing (i think) 1500 rds per minute (each) slowed down from 4000/6000 rds per minute (when used)on fighters. The newer model AC-130U has a 25mm Gatling gun replacing the two 20's. (They both also have a 40mm Bofors and a 105 Howitzer).

LOL - either way, I wouldn't want to be standing in the field (or within 5 miles actually) when this "Flying Death" comes near my position.
