autocannon / automatic cannon Explanation: Maybe. ...virtually all fighter aircraft retain autocannon in integral internal mounts to this day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocannon The BK27 is a gas-operated automatic cannon with linked or linkless ammunition https://www.rheinmetall-defence.com/en/rheinmetall_defence/s... A flight crewman is shown loading the onboard 40 mm automatic cannon. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=xYLbCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT192&lp... Or possibly self-powered: The compact nature of this self-powered cannon makes it an attractive option for relatively simple on-aircraft installation, whether considered for an under slung pod, under fuselage blister or interior fuselage carriage. http://aei-systems.com/aircraft-weapons-systems/aden-aircraf... The common 20 mm cannon used before the advent of the 20 mm Vulcan family was a rotary self powered cannon (we stole the basic design from the Germans, IIRC). http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/885490/posts |
