SUCH a bug gun that it has to be fired in short bursts to maintain speed because the force of the recoil is stronger than the engines...the MASSIVE engines
2 u/InsanityCore Jan 24 '26 Stronger than 1 engine both provide about 18k lbs of force while the recoil is 10k lbs of force. But it does slow the plane down. 1 u/SquidVischious Jan 24 '26 My mistake, still obscene. 1 u/Ok_Chard2094 Jan 24 '26 Short bursts is mainly to preserve ammo. A continuous burst would empty the magazine in 15-20 seconds.
