    Commonly, things of 20mm and bigger are called cannons. The largest "machine gun" that I know of is 14.5mm.

    I doubt this piece of trivia changes anything regarding that movie's artistic merits, though.

      I don't know the designation of the GAU-8 used on the A-10. We just call it the GAU-8, when we were asked why it failed a test as a field gun.

      It's times like those I'd like to slap someone, but we have to go through the motions to prove the obvious.

      more rounds = more heat
      less wind = less cooling

      why did the gun melt? hmmm... D'uh, I donnano

      I know about as much about guns as I do about French interiors.

      Q: What was the "machine gun" that Schwarzenegger used to disable all the police cars in "Terminator 2" (did someone say "minigun"?). Also, was this the same type of gun that future Gov. Ventura carried in "Predator"?

        I don't remember the Terminator that well, but I think you are right about the Predator - the GM Minigun it is.
