Last Friday on Belgium’s Florennes Air Force Base, a maintenance tech accidentally fired the Vulcan 20mm gun on the F-16 jet he was working, destroying another F-16

Ooops! Did I do that? (Erkl)

The Vulcan 20mm cannon fires 6600 rounds per minute... it's a good bet to say a hundred or more were fired. 110 per second.

Both the Vulcan 20mm cannon and the Avenger 30mm cannon (3900 rounds/minute - used on the A10 Warthog) were developed by General Electric . . . "we bring good things to life."

General Electric also made the F110 engine on that plane. I've welded many turbine compressor parts for those engines. Now I'm making tooling to make compressor parts for those engines.

Nice car, but you would think that they could get that lower molding to line up better.

So do they now put a kill sticker on the side of the F-16 that fired the shots? He did technically down another aircraft.
