 AN/GAU-8 30mm Cannon
While adequate as an air combat / ground attack weapon during World War Two, the Browning M2.50 caliber machine gun had been rendered obsolete by jet aircraft and needed to be replaced by a weapon with increased range, rate of fire, and projectile lethality.
Initial tests proved promising as a vintage Gatling gun, now powered by an electric motor in place of the usual hand crank, was able to achieve rates of fire in excess of 4,000 rounds per minute.
The AN/GAU-8 Avenger 30mm gun system was specifically built to serve as a Close Air Support ""Tank Buster."" Similar to the earlier M61 20mm Vulcan design, the Avenger uses seven barrels to achieve a rate of fire of 3,900 rounds per minute.

The effectiveness of medium caliber ammunition is improving far beyond just AP in one feeder and HE in the second feed chute.
A move to 30x173 in AP would greatly increase the recoil forces, and while the Marines seem to be happy chosing this (they'll match the caliber of their LAVs with their EFVs, for sure), it may just cause confusion in Army units since they use the 30x113 for the Apache.
True or not, my bet is they skip 30mm and go 35mm, as it would be a more decisive move to upgun the troops.

Total Small and Medium Caliber Requirements, Fiscal Years 2000 to 2005 (in millions of rounds): [See PDF for image] [End of figure] DOD has initiated several steps to meet the increased demand, including funding about $93.3 million for modernization improvements at the three government-owned ammunition plants producing small and medium caliber ammunition.
DOD is currently able to meet its medium caliber requirement through modernization efforts at the government-owned ammunition plants and through contracts with commercial producers.
Currently, one of these producers is manufacturing medium caliber ammunition at Radford which specializes in the production of propellants and explosives; the other two commercial producers manufacture medium caliber ammunition at their own facilities.

Trouble is, that the performance of a 75mm 10 kg cartridge using modern APFSDS slugs is largely guess work, as the only rounds of that caliber are WWII ammo and cannot be compared with a modern round performance.

150 30mm bullets or 600 to 900 20mm rounds.
I say, one 30mm is equivalent to three or four 20mm shots.In general you need a dozen or more 20mm hits to shoot down an one engine aircraft(not armored ones), but you could do the same with only 3 or 4 30mm rounds.
But a 30mm gun like the Russian GSh-301 family of the big Sukhoi and MiG fighters is more accurate over a longer range.

In the 1960s, tungsten alloys used in the XM578 projectile had to be encased in a steel jacket to withstand the extreme firing velocities of the 152mm gun, reducing the penetrating effectiveness of the tungsten cartridge.
The Air Force uses a 30mm DU round in the GAU-8 Gatling gun on the A-10.
Some veterans claim to have fired 50-caliber DU sniper rounds during the Gulf War, but this claim could not be supported after numerous interviews with the manufacturer of the 50 caliber sniper rifle, with ammunition suppliers, and with the DoD logisticians responsible for small caliber ammunition.

 world's most accurate medium-caliber combat system, The Sea Power - Find Articles
Johnson said that the Army's Close Combat Armament Center has recommended that the Mk44 30mm gun be considered for use in Block 1 of the Army's Future Combat System (FCS) medium-caliber variant.
Boeing and the Science Applications International Corporation are the Army's lead systems integrators for the FCS, which is envisioned as a family of deployable combat vehicles tailored to meet the service's requirements for a "transformed" land combat force.
The 30mm ammunition used by the Mk44 is the same ammunition, Johnson noted, bought in large quantities by the Air Force for the GAU-8 cannon mounted on the Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt It attack aircraft, and therefore could be acquired inexpensively for training purposes by the Marine Corps and Army.

Each of the seven 30mm barrels is a simple non-repeating rifle, with its own breech and bolt; the cocking and firing mechanism is built into the bolt.
The bolt rams the shell into the breech and locks into position; a cocking pin compresses the firing spring, and a trigger releases it.
The muzzle velocity of the GAU-8/A is about the same as that of the M61, but the heavier, more advanced ammunition is not only more destructive but has better ballistic properties.

The Pentagon estimates that 14,000 shells containing DU were fired by tanks, and another 940,000 30mm rounds containing DU were fired by A-10 "Warthog" jets in support operations, during the 1991 Gulf War alone -- 320 tons total.
Finally, not only is DU available in very large quantities (with a half-life of 4.5 billion years, it is literally "not going anywhere") but compared with tungsten, DU is easy to work with, with DU penetrators manufactured for a fraction of the cost it would take to manufacture a similar tungsten penetrator.
Unfortunately, there are a number of potentially serious issues concerning the use of DU in military ordnance.
