The Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II's primary gun is the General Electric GAU-
8/A 30-mm cannon. And Mark is correct, it does have 7 barrels. The A-
10 "Warthog" is also capable of carring up to 15,950 lbs. of weapons. The
aircraft's FAC load consits of up two 12 LAU-68 seven-tube rocket pods, two
AIM-9 Sidewinder heatseeking air-to-air missiles, and one ECM pod.

You know the USAF is going to replace the A-10 with the more versatile F-16
Fighting Falcon? :(
