Well, do you mean a Vulcan? Or perhaps a Phalanx (but those are on ships).
The A-10 Warthog has a badass gun that shoots depleted uranium fast enough that continuous firing would stall the aircraft in mid-air. |

I think they were quoted as saying something to the effect of " Here's this kick ass gun - now build a plane around it. " |

Maybe if you said which bomber you'd get a better answer. It's like asking whats the name of the round black things on the side of cars. Many bombers, many diffrent types of guns.

Most American bombers of WW2 vintage carried Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns.

And the position was, indeed, usually referred to as waist gunner. If there was a turret on the top of the plane, that was the ventral station. A turret below (often spherical) was a dorsal turret. As stated in the "what useless **** do you know" thread, I know a good deal about military history. DjB |

It's the Vulcan, but it's not mounted on a bomber - it's a C130.

From what I have been told they have mounted Howitzers on planes as well to provide ground protection for transportation convoys.
I forget the name of the plane, but I was told its the size of an airliner and itll fy along above the transportation convoys and just take people out. I got this all from one of my fraternity brothers who came back last weekend for a 2 week leave before he had to go back over. |

There was a video clip of an AC-130 doing it's thing back in Afghanistan (from the gunners point of view) - those things are evil wouldn't want to be on the business end of one of those!

there are 2 different types of ac-130 gunships. there is a h-model (40mm & 105mm) and U-model (25mm, 40mm, and 105mm). there is a plan right now to get rid of the 25mm and 40mm guns on both models and put in 30mm guns. that won't be till end of '05 start of '06.
