It just slows it down a tad, the reason it doesn't fire continously is because the gun will melt if fired for 19 continouous seconds. If you fire in bursts its fine.Subliminal_Sub wrote:
What I find amazing about the real A-10, they can only fire the main cannon in short bursts, because the tremendous recoil can and will cause the plane to go backwards and stall even at full throttle.
thats just a myth that has been proven to be incorrect (read that somewhere)Subliminal_Sub wrote:

Yep just a myth. The gun puts out about half the force of both engines.tahadar wrote:

It definitely is because of the heat not the force of it. You can't shoot any gun like that for long periods of time or the barrel will melt.tahadar wrote:
