Tips:

  1. This weapon weighs about 3000 pounds.
  2. Must be carefully placed. Make sure that no parts connect to the barrels to ensure proper rotation.
  3. Rotation is driven by VTOL engines. It is best to use default values of the engine to make the barrel rotation work properly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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)

My Platinum Build and celebratratory build for having 200 followers(wooh)
