The Block 1A and newer (pneumatic driven) CIWS mounts fire at a rate of 4,500 rounds per minute with a 1,550-round magazine.
On Block 0 reloading of the drum can take between 10 to 30 minutes if loaded from prelinked ammunition boxes.
Block 1 and later guns use a preloaded ammunition loader/unloader cart.
The loader/unloader cart uses linked live ammuntion and a drum loader adapter.
The linked ammunition is connected to the adapter (yellow part in the photographs) that attaches to the end of the drum.
