GPU-350
The GPU-350 is a powerful gun pod of Pearlian origin. It was developed in the 2010's along with the GPU-275, to provide fighter aircraft with a similar capability as the A-10 Thunderbolt with its enormous 7-barrel GAU-8/A Avenger autocannon. The GPU-350 is one of the most powerful gun pods in existence which comes at the cost of a bit of weight and slight recoil.
Design
The GPU-350 is a gun pod of a fairly simple design. The round aerodynamic pod houses the indigenous made MGU-30-6 machine gun at the front and associated ammunition at the rear. The pod doesn't require external power since a pneumatic drive unit is located at the rear behind the gun. The ammunition is stored in a two layer helical linkless feed system which is located around the barrel in the forward half of the pod. Spent cases are reinserted in the feed system. Recoil adapters located in the strongback absorb most of the massive recoil. Since the cannon is fixed, it is aimed by pointing the aircraft in the direction of the target.
Firepower
The GPU-350 features the indigenous made MGU-30-6 machine gun and 250 rounds of 30x165mm ammunition. The cyclic rate of fire is 6000 rounds per minute and the maximum effective range is 1-4 km. The 30mm rounds are effective against armored vehicles.
Users
The GPU-350 is most commonly found on the attack helicopters and fighter jets of the Pearlian Military Defense Forces. The GPU-350 remains available for export.

Author's notes
I based this on the AK-630, but the barrel is similar to the GAU-8A. The firepower is basically a mix of both.
Though it said that it has 250 rounds. It actually doesn't, it's unlimited. So have fun.
To put it on, simply grab the red part of the gunpod and attach it to the pylons of your aircraft.
Feel free to modify it however you want, I would like to see it hehehe. Anyways thanks for upvoting. And btw, if you notice it has ReinMCDeer style, that's because I based it on his builds. I got inspired from him and NewWorldAerospace too

MOAR FIREPOWAHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️❗🔥🔥🔥
@SPsidearm it literally does lmao, Because a helicopter was my test bed for this. And I gave it 2 pods(since it doesn't have its own cannon atm)
Thing would stall a Helo.
MX350 😭 🙏
@AviationLoverGEEK445 I can't make the A-10 since ReinMCDeer already made one here, but, I can make a, basically, a ripoff one. Made by Pearlian Aerospace Development Corp(aka me).
Wut about the A10 :(
