	M61 20mm cannon
		The M61 20mm Vulcan is an externally powered, six-barrel, rotary-fire gun having a rate of fire of up to 7200 spm.
		The M61 20mm cannon is a proven gun, having been the US military's close-in weapon of choice dating back to the 1950s.
		The F-104, F-105, later models of the F-106, F-111, F-4, B-58, all used the M61, as does the Air Force's F-15, F-16 and F-22, and the Navy's F-14 and F/A-18.

	M61 Vulcan - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The 20mm M61 Vulcan is a hydraulically driven, six-barreled, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling gun with an extremely high rate of fire.
		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.
		The Vulcan was used on the F-104, F-105 Thunderchief, some F-106A Delta Dart models, 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/A-22 Raptor.

	F-16 Armament - M61 A1 Vulcan
		The Vulcan system as used in the F-15 and F-16 is not intended to be rigidly stable and not deliver a line of fire as depicted in the illustration of the Mig 29.
		The M61 A1 Vulcan is behind the line when it is compared to the Mauser BK27 27mm revolver single barrel canon or the rusian GSH-301 30mm single barrel canon.
		The vulcan is still a good gun when employed in air to ground or ground to ground mode.

	VNFAWING M61 A1 Vulcan
		The General Electric M61A1 Vulcan is a 6-barrel 20mm cannon of the gatling-type.
		The Vulcan was first fired in pre-production form in 1953, and made its first flight in the Lockheed F-104.
		Today, after a period of neglect (when guns were thought to be rendered obsolete by missiles), the M61 in one form or another, is an integral part of the armament of modern fighters such as the F-15, F-18 and of course the F-16.

		The Vulcan is the re-invented and perfected stepson of the famous Gatling multi-barreled machine gun patented and first pro- duced by Richard J. Gatling in 1862.
		It is due to the Vulcan's high performances that these guns have been chosen to arm almost all of the U.S. Air Forces fighter aricraft for the past three-and-one-half decades.
		The Vulcan and its variations have also been called to serve on bomber defense, on gun pods, on the famous "Puff the Magic Dragon" (Side Fire), on U.S. Navy ships for missle and aircraft defense, on most all heli- copters for all the services, and on the U.S. Army's Vulcan Air Defense Systems.

	F-4 Phantom II
		Its primary mission capabilities are: long range, high-altitude intercepts utilizing air-to-air missiles as primary armament; a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon as secondary armament; long-range attack missions utilizing conventional or nuclear weapons as a primary armament; and close air support missions utilizing a choice of bombs, rockets and missiles as primary armament.
		During the course of the Vietnam War, its contemporaries, the MiG-19 and MiG-21, inflicted heavy losses on the F-4s when the American aircrafts were ambushed after returning from bombing assignments.
		This prompted the USAF to introduce the F4-E variant, which added a M61 Vulcan cannon in the nose of the aircraft, below the radome.
