It's 20mm on the AC-130H Spectre, but it is 25mm on the AC130U Spooky. From above, the 25mm round is efective against all armour.

My husband has seen the AC-130 and his comments were that he would definitely NOT want to be on the ground when that plane came at you.
Yeah, no sh*t. That thing could put 200 rounds dead-center in your chest before you hit the ground.
