GAU-8 Avenger
A 30mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon. Designed specifically for anti-tank role.
How to use:
AG1 to activate
Fireguns to fire
AG7 to stop barrel rotation
Features:
Barrel Rotation - Fully functional 7-barrel rotation.
Muzzle flash and smoke effect - Custom flash and smoke.
30mm Ammunition - fired at 1010m/s
Tips:
- This weapon weighs about 3000 pounds.
- Must be carefully placed. Make sure that no parts connect to the barrels to ensure proper rotation.
- Rotation is driven by VTOL engines. It is best to use default values of the engine to make the barrel rotation work properly.
- Part count is about 216 parts which makes it one of the highest part count builds I made but don't worry. I set the "calculatedrag" to false in most parts so less lag. Firing the gun might cause a bit of lag though.
- Aiming might be a bit hard but specs are quite accurate. Credits to @BogdanX for gun specs that I took from his A-10 Thunderbolt.

Took me some time to build. Maybe a week. This is by far the most detailed build I made. Paid attention to the details specifically the barrel part. I know that this is not a full replica of the real GAU-8 Avenger. I looked into photos and videos to make it accurate but it is quite hard to base on those. I actually found a 3D model online which makes it a more easy to build. I know that there are 2 bullet feeds on this but I settled into one since I can't quite get it right and also to lessen the part count.
This build is my entry on the Anti-Tank Challenge. (Category: Equipped Weaponry)
