    The M61A1 and M61A2 are six-barreled 20mm Gatling gun systems produced by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems that offer lightweight and lethal combat support. Weighing between 202 to 248 pounds, they have a high rate of fire of 4,000 to 6,000 shots per minute. The M61A2 is 20% lighter than the M61A1 while maintaining reliability. Both systems provide increased hit probabilities compared to single barrel guns due to their multiple barrels and proven Gatling mechanism.

    20MM GATLING GUN

    The M61A1 and M61A2 produced by General Dynamics


    Ordnance and Tactical Systems are externally powered
    six-barrel 20mm Gatling gun systems that offer lightweight,
    highly lethal combat support for a variety of air, land and
    SPECIFICATIONS s sea platforms.
    Gun Type Six-barrel, 20mm, externally
    powered Gatling guns The M61A1 and M61A2 increases multiple-hit probabilities
    Weight
    M61A1 248 pounds (112.5 kg) when compared to single barrel guns operating at lower
    M61A2 202 pounds (light barrel), rates of fire. The M61A1 and M61A2 weapons are based
    228 pounds (heavy barrel)
    (91.6, 103.4 kg) on the proven Gatling principle of operation and provide
    Rate of fire 4,000/6,000 shots per minute reliability up to 10 times greater than single-barrel guns.
    Dispersion 8 milliradians diameter,
    80 percent circle The M61A2 shares the same features as the M61A1, but

    Muzzle velocity 3,380 feet (1,030m) per second is 20 percent lighter. The M61A2 will meet or exceed the
    Average recoil force M61A1 gun’s reliability, maintainability and supportability
    @ 4,000 shots per minute 2,133 pounds (9.4 kN) features. It is now available for applications where weapon
    @ 6,000 shots per minute 3,200 pounds (14.2 kN)
