EFFECTIVENESS<br />
l. More hits per burst as a result of instant full rate of fire<br />
(greater accuracy, higher average rate)<br />
AIRCRAFT COMPATIBILITY<br />
HTC-AD 66-29<br />
l. Minimum installed weight in aircraft (self-powered 30-lb gun)<br />
2. Recoil cancellation oLMarquardt cycle reduces peak loads to<br />
structure<br />
3. Receiver is stationary, so installation and feed system does not<br />
have to accommodate movement on recoil adapters<br />
4. Belt feeding provides light, simple, and inexpensive feed system<br />
(ammunition boost system not required)<br />
5. Dual belt feeding allows use of more conveniently sized ammunition<br />
boxes<br />
6. Reciprocating barrels allow simple blast control<br />
7. Positive case and link ejection<br />
8. Small frontal area and volume permit thin airfoil and reduced<br />
drag<br />
MAINTENANCE AND TRAINING<br />
1. Instant full rate of fire provides maximum accuracy with minimum<br />
pilot training<br />
2. Easi
