Rommel_Desert_Fox Fresnel I think a 7.62 minigun might be a nice weapon on a plane. Light, small ammo, and a rate of fire capable of shredding most aircraft. Hell, the Air Force had a light recon plane once with a 5.56 microgun in it. I think it was called the Mosquito? It was a rather fearsome plane, for a modified Cessna. If what I have said offended you...
The mosquito was a high speed bomber made of wood.
... then it was probably intentional.
... was it British in origin?

Now I have to look it up...
Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, or A-37 Super Tweet. Turns out that was really your standard 7.62 Minigun. My mistake.

XM214 Microgun, a 5.56 minigun. Is that what you're talking about, Fresnel? Heck, some are even in civilian hands...
Anyways, there's a reason machine guns aren't really the primary arms of planes anymore, it's all about the missiles.
The GAU-8 Avengers PWN, though...
The one thing I don't like about the Western-style miniguns, is that they're electric. I like the gas ones (*cough* Soviet *cough*) better because they "spin up" faster.
The M39 cannon seems decent. A high-ish rate of fire, without costing too much weight wise.
I wouldn't really like the Bren though because you seem limited to 20 rounds, and then you're done.
I don't really like smaller aircraft guns though. The engagement distance gets thrown off.

Maelthra Reloaded OberFeldwebel Well, I may get flamed but, the MG-151 20mm version. It doesn't matter if the ammunition carried is more or less. If you have less wouldn't you be pressed to not waste as much? MG-151 would be grouped into the "Conventional 20mm cannon" Option.
Ah, noted and voted.
