| | M61 Vulcan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The five-barrel GAU-12 Equalizer 25 mm gun used in the AV-8B Harrier II is a Vulcan derivative, but despite greater hitting power (since it fires a heavier round at virtually the same muzzle velocity) it has yet to find wide application. |
 | | The Vulcan was used on the F-104, F-105 Thunderchief, some F-106A Delta Dart models, the Ling-Temco-Vought A-7 Corsair II, the McDonnell F-4E Phantom II, the General Dynamics F-111, the McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing F-15 Eagle, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, Boeing/Lockheed/General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet, Italian/Brazilian AMX International AMX, and the F-22A Raptor. |
 | | The Vulcan's rate of fire is typically 6,000 rounds per minute, although some versions (such as that of the AMX International and the F-106 Delta Dart) are limited to a lower rate, and others have a selectable rate of fire of either 4,000 or 6,000 rounds per minute. |
