Hawg Drivers -
Some of us were talking about guns today and this question came up.
Was the gun in the A-10 located with the waterline of the aircraft and what was the cant on the gun?
I think I found the answer to the first question off of Wikpedia:
"The fuselage of the aircraft is built around the gun.
[23] For example, the nose wheel is offset to the right so that the gun's firing barrel at the 9 o'clock position
is aligned on the aircraft's centerline."; but what about the second question? Btw - I also saw that it says the gun is optimized for a 30 deg dive at a slant range of 4,000'.
Thanks for any information.
