      quote “he incident reflects why guns on a high-performance jet are perhaps a less than ideal weapon. The Vulcan is capable of firing over 6,000 shots per minute, but its magazine carries only 511 rounds—just enough for five seconds of fury.” Followed by 5 months of repair… (sounds like something else eh??) Ok.. so its a technical ‘reason’ to validate funding into plane mounted lasers… I get it…
