  GAU-8 Avenger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GAU-8/A Avenger is a 30 mm, seven-barrel Gatling gun that is mounted on the United States Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt II.
It is the largest (it is the size and weight of a family sedan), heaviest and most powerful aircraft gun in the United States military (although in a few cases full-sized artillery have been attached to aircraft).
A persistent claim is that the recoil force of the Avenger matches that of the A-10's engines and as such the plane would slow down, stall and subsequently crash if the gun was to be fired for long periods of time.

It serves as an agile tank destroyer, able to move from ambush to attack exposed flanks or to engage the enemy's rear area while other forces pin down the front.
Weapons: The Avenger is armed with a front-mounted multi-melta and a pintle-mounted storm bolter.

The tank is for a biodiesel co-op and is 2nd hand that Christopher scored.
We have learned the proper way to do this would have been to fill the tank ~95% with water and then apply the pressure very gradually and controlled with a regulator as the air capacity is now greatly reduced and the pressure will rise quickly.
The tank on that bike usually took about $3.50 to fill back then and could go almost 117 (I think that was it) miles on that.

It is the largest (it is the size and weight of a family saloon car), heaviest and most powerful aircraft gun in the United States military.
Specifically designed to be a "tank buster", the gun can deliver a rate of fire of an astonishing 4,000 shots per minute although, in use, it is limited to two-second bursts before it overheats.
Developed as part of the A-10 program by Fairchild Republic, both the aircraft and the gun entered service in 1977 (it is often said that the A-10 was designed around the gun, which fills half of the aircraft's fuselage).

I had been a tank platoon leader in Iraq for four months before I took over my scout platoon and hadn’t ever fired a single one because of the amount of damage they do, and it’s usually just as easy to kill bad guys with the coax machine gun.
How someone survived three tank rounds getting fired directly into their position is beyond me, but at least no more mortars were fired from that location, and hopefully the guy limping away died sometime later that day.

 PbNation - avenger 3 (funny story)
i put a 91 ci 4500 psi nitro tank on it..(actually as a joke cuz i wanted to blow it up ao i didnt have to carry it around with me) and to be a major surprise to me..
Hay just wondering I thought most HPA tanks are regulated at the tank(built on Pressure regulator) anyway even though it is a 4500psi tank the out put is droped to maybe a quarter of that or less.
High pressure markers are designed to work at 800-850 psi (the output pressure of a CO2 tank at 70*F), so that's the output pressure of the tank reg (on a high pressure HPA tank).

The AN/GAU-8 30mm Avenger seven-barrel gatling gun, mounted only on the A-10 attack jet, is a 30mm, 7 barrel gattling gun used primarily in the air to ground role as a soft target killer and tank buster.

The armor-piercing capability of the DU projectiles fired from A/OA-10s proved exceptionally effective in countering threats from the Iraqi tanks so that a successful ground offensive could then be achieved.
