	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-23
		The GSh-6-23 differs from most American multi-barreled aircraft cannon in that it is gas-operated, rather than externally powered via an electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic system.
		Although the engineering difficulties involved in producing a gas-operated rotary cannon with such a high rate of fire are considerable, they create less of a drain on the aircraft's power systems, and they accelerate to their maximum rate of fire much more quickly.
		The cannon has 10 pyrotechnic cocking charges, similar to those used in European gas-operated revolver cannon such as the DEFA 554 or Mauser BK-27.

	DEFA cannon Information
		It was based on the German Mauser MG 213C, an experimental revolver cannon developed for the Luftwaffe, but not used in combat (the same weapon inspired the American M39 cannon and the very similar British ADEN cannon).
		The DEFA 553 is a gas-operated five-chamber revolver cannon using pyrotechnic cocking and electrical ignition.
		The DEFA 550 series was the standard cannon armament of all gun-armed French fighters from 1954 until the advent of the Dassault Rafale in the 1980s.

	Revolver cannon at AllExperts
		Automatic revolver cannons were developed by Mauser late in WW2 as aircraft guns, and have since been produced by many different European manufacturers (whereas the US, and to a lesser extent Russia, favour the Gatling gun).
		The archetypal revolver cannon is the Mauser MK 213, from which almost all current weapons were copied to one extent or another.
		The Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon of the late 1800s was not a revolver cannon in the modern sense, being of a Gatling type.

	DEFA : Encyclopedia Entry
		DEFA was founded in the Spring of 1946 in the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany as the first film production company in post-War Germany.
		All DEFA interests were now incorporated into this new nation as its "people's" film monopoly according to the strictures of Stalinist Communism and socialist realism, and effectively an arm of the government.
		DEFA films are now enjoying a revival in Germany and the United States: several titles are now commercially available in NTSC format, and in October 2005 the Museum of Modern Art in New York City hosted a two-week DEFA festival.

	ADEN cannon
		The ADEN (named for the Armament Development Establishment, where it was designed, and Enfield, where it is produced) was developed in the late 1940s as a replacement for the older Hispano-Suiza HS 404 20mm cannon used in British aircraft of World War II.
		It is based (as are the French DEFA and American M39 cannon) on the mechanism of the German Mauser MG213C, an experimental revolver cannon designed for the Luftwaffe, but never used in combat.
		The ADEN is very similar to the French DEFA cannon, and the two weapons use the same range of 30mm ammunition.

	The Soviet GSh
		During the development of the MiG-27 fighter-bomber, the onboard GSh-23L gun of the earlier MiG-23BN was replaced with a more powerful weapon.
		A new cannon of multi-barrelled rotary design increased the firing rate by 3-4 times, important given the short time for an attack.
		The new cannon, designated GSh-6-30A, had a weight of 145 kg (AO-18 = 205 kg) and rate of fire of 5,500-6,100 rounds per minute.

	GIAT 30 at AllExperts
		The GIAT 30 is a series of 30mm cannon developed to replace the DEFA 550 series weapons on French military aircraft.
		Introduced in the late 1980s, the GIAT 30 is a revolver cannon with electric ignition and automatic recocking.
		Unlike the DEFA cannon, the revolver chamber is electrically operated, rather than gas operated, improving both reliability and rate of fire.

		This cannon is the primary gun armament for the Rafale, the French version of the next-generation European Fighter Aircraft.
		Analysis of the requirements for a new 30 millimeter cannon revealed that the first thing that would be required was a new family of 30 millimeter ammunition.
		The French also designed the new cannon to be fed from the left or the right, greatly aiding in the integration of the new cannon with various types of aircraft.

	Dassault Mirage III
		The Mirage IIIC was armed with twin 30 millimeter DEFA revolver-type cannon, fitted in the belly with the gun ports under the air intakes.
		In the first place, it required removal of the aircraft's cannon, and in the second, apparently it had a reputation for setting the aircraft on fire.
		The space for the rocket engine was used for additional fuel, and the rocket nozzle was replaced by a ventral fin at first, and an airfield arresting hook assembly later.

	Lavi (www.combatsim.com)
		The weapons carriage of the Lavi was mainly semi-conformal, thus reducing drag, with two hardpoints beneath each wing (the inboard pair was wet for the carriage of two 2,548 litre auxilliary fuel tanks), plus the wingtip rail and seven underfuselage hardpoints (three tandem pairs plus one on the centreline).
		The DEFA 552 (Improved) is a single-barrel, five-chamber, revolver type automatic aircraft cannon with a high rate of fire (1,100 to 1,500 rounds per minute (rpm)).
		The 30 mm DEFA 552 cannon arrived in Israel on the Dassault Mystere IVA fighters and it turned out to be a very effective cannon.

	Difference between machine gun and cannon? - Frugal's World of Simulations
		Cannon, as far as I am aware, make use of an exploding shell (different to cannon that fired cannon-balls!).
		Often, you differ a gun from a cannon by a gun being often lighter, a bit smaller and the ammo might also be lighter in wheight, etc.
		What makes the M-61 Vulcan Cannon a CANNON and not a Gatling GUN is that each of the 6 barrels has its own bolt assembly.

	DEFA cannon - Information from Reference.com
		It was based on the German Mauser MG 213C, an experimental revolver cannon developed for the Luftwaffe.
		The MG 213 never reached production, but inspired the DEFA, the very similar British ADEN cannon, and the smaller American M39 cannon.
		A pair of these weapons, with 125–135 rounds per gun, is standard fit on the Dassault MD 450 Ouragan, Dassault Mystere, Mirage III/V, Dassault Étendard and Dassault Super Étendard, Sud Aviation Vautour, Mirage F1, French SEPECAT Jaguars, and the Mirage 2000 series.

	Aeritalia-Embraer-Aermacchi AMX
		For its self-defence, AMX is equipped with two air-air infrared guided missiles on wingtip rails as well as, in the Brazilian version, two DEFA 30mm cannons installed in the lower front fuselage (the Italian version carries a General Electric M61A1 Vulcan 20mm cannon, in the left lower front fuselage).
		Those cannons are also used in the ground-attack rôle, primary function of the aircraft.
		Viability studies were already concluded by Alenia, Aermacchi, and Elettronica and in December of 1997 a contract was signed for completing its configuration, which will include a avionics revision, installation of GPS and of coloured LCD displays with mobile maps for the electronic systems operator in the rear-seat.

		Rates of fire are adjustable: US weapons use sheer horsepower to drive rotary cannons: the 7-barrel GAU-8 in the A-10 requires 77horsepower for gun drives and feed mechanisms.
		The above is why I suggested, for ground attack, a Miracle be armed with the 5-barrel 25mm cannon as on the Harrier II and JSF (which originally was considered to possibly have a US-produced BK27 model).
		The Israelis modded some of their Scooters with a pair of 1800rpm DEFA 554s (30x113mm) w/150rpg in place of the two original 20mm Mk12s (20x102mm) w/200rpg.

		By 1943, with the exception of certain Marks of Spitfire, fighter planes with Brownings were either upgraded or removed from service, and the RAF became a majority "all-cannon" force.
		The USAF introduced the 20 mm M39 revolver cannon to replace the M24, while the Navy instead combined the original Hispano design with a lighter round for better muzzle velocity in the Colt Mk 12 cannon.

		However the philosophy of the day was that the air-to-air missile was the wave of the future and that the internal gun was an obsolete holdover from an bygone era.
		The Phantoms could carry a podded cannon mounted on the centerline, but it was relatively inaccurate, caused excessive drag which reduced the performance of the Phantom carrying it, and took up a valuable ordinance/fuel station.
		An initial F-4 variant with an internal M61 cannon had been proposed by McDonnell to the USAF in March of 1961, but had met with little enthusiasm.
