href="/wiki/Rate_of_fire" title="Rate of fire">rates of fire</a> than single-barreled <a href="/wiki/Autocannon" title="Autocannon">autocannons</a> of the same caliber. The loading, firing and ejection functions are performed simultaneously in different barrels as the whole assembly rotates, and the rotation also permits the barrels some time to cool. Rotary cannons, external or self-driven are used in aircraft over reciprocating bolt autocannons which are more prone to jamming in <a href="/wiki/High_g" class="mw-redirect" title="High g">high g</a> environments. The rotating barrels on nearly all modern Gatling-type guns are powered by an external force such as an <a href="/wiki/Electric_motor" title="Electric motor">electric motor</a>, although internally powered <a href="/wiki/Gryazev-Shipunov_GSh-6-23" title="Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-23">gas-operated versions</a> have also been developed. </p><p>The cyclic multi-barrel design synchronizes the firing/reloading sequence. Each barrel fires a single <a href="/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)" title="Cartridge (firearms)">cartridge</a> when it reaches a certain position in the rotation, after which the spent casing is ejected at a different position and then a new round is loaded at another position. During the cycle, the barrel has more time to dissipate some heat away to the surrounding air. </p><p>Due to the usually cumbersome size and weight of rotary cannon, they are typically mounted on <a href="/wiki/Weapons_platform" title="Weapons platform">weapons platforms</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Vehicle" title="Vehicle">vehicles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Aircraft" title="Aircraft">aircraft</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Ship" title="Ship">ships</a>, where they are often used in <a href="/wiki/Close-in_weapon_system" title="Close-in weapon system">close-in weapon systems</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rotary_cannon&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1852 a revolving barrel gun with a unique method of ignition was proposed by an Irish immigrant to America by the name of Delany.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Gatling_gun" title="Gatling gun">Gatling gun</a> was another gun to use rotating barrels. It was designed by the American inventor <a href="/wiki/Richard_Jordan_Gatling" title="Richard Jordan Gatling">Dr. Richard J. Gatling</a> in 1861 and patented in 1862.<sup id="cite_ref-Greeley1872_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Greeley1872-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hand cranked and hopper fed, it could fire at a rate of 200 rounds per minute. The Gatling gun was a field weapon, first used in warfare during the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a> and subsequently by European and Russian armies. </p><p>The design was steadily improved; by 1876 the Gatling gun had a theoretical rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute, although 400 rounds per minute was more readily achievable in combat. By 1893, the M1893 Gatling gun could fire 800 to 900 rounds per minute.

A larger-caliber cannon shell was deemed desirable as it could contain more explosives—compared to .30 and .50 caliber ammunition previously used—and thus able to destroy aircraft with only a few hits on target. However, autocannons suffered from a lower rate of fire than machine guns; a possible solution, the <a href="/wiki/M39_cannon" title="M39 cannon">M39</a> <a href="/wiki/Revolver_cannon" title="Revolver cannon">revolver cannon</a>, had problems with overheating and excessive barrel wear. </p><p>In June 1946, the General Electric Company was awarded a U.S. military defense contract to develop an aircraft gun with a high rate of fire which GE termed <i>Project Vulcan</i>. While researching prior work, ordnance engineers recalled the experimental electrically driven Gatling weapons of the turn of the 20th century. In 1946, a Model 1903 Gatling gun was borrowed from a museum and set up with an electric motor drive by General Electric engineers. During test firing, the 40-year-old design briefly managed a rate of fire of 5,000 rounds per minute. </p><p>In 1949 General Electric began testing the first model of its modified Gatling design, now called the <i>Vulcan Gun</i>. The first prototype was designated the T45 (Model A). It fired .60 in (15 mm) ammunition at about 2,500 rounds per minute from six barrels driven by an <a href="/wiki/Electric_motor" title="Electric motor">electric motor</a>. In 1950, GE delivered ten initial model A T45 guns for evaluation. Thirty-three model C T45 guns were delivered in 1952 in three calibers: .60 cal., 20mm, and 27mm, for additional testing. After extensive testing, the T171 20mm gun was selected for further development. In 1956, the T171 20mm gun was standardized by the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force as the M61 20mm Vulcan aircraft gun. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:GShG_762.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/GShG_762.JPG/220px-GShG_762.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="95" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/GShG_762.JPG/330px-GShG_762.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/GShG_762.JPG/440px-GShG_762.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1500" data-file-height="650" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/GShG-7.62" class="mw-redirect" title="GShG-7.62">GShG-7.62</a>, one of the few self-driven Gatlings.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg/220px-Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="143" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg/330px-Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg/440px-Special_forces_gatling_gun.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1949" data-file-height="1270" /></a><figcaption> U.S. Special Warfare combatant-craft crewmen use a Gatling gun to lay down suppressing fire during a practice "hot" extraction of forces on a beach.</figcaption></figure> <p>One of the main reasons for the resurgence of the electrically or hydraulically powered multiple-barrel design is the weapon's tolerance for continuously high <a href="/wiki/Rate_of_fire" title="Rate of fire">rates of fire</a>. For example, 1000 rounds per minute of continuous fire from a conventional single-barreled weapon ordinarily results in rapid barrel heating followed by stoppages caused by overheating. In contrast, a five-barreled rotary gun firing 1000 rounds per minute fires only 200 rounds per barrel per minute, an acceptable rate of fire for continuous use. A multiple-barrel design also overcomes the limiting factor of the loading and extraction sequence. In a single-barrel design, these tasks must alternate, limiting the rate of fire. A multiple-barrel design allows loading and extraction to occur simultaneously on different barrels as they rotate. The design is also resistant to defective ammunition, which can cause normal machine guns to malfunction when a cartridge fails to load, fire, or eject from the weapon. Since the power source of a multiple-barrel design is external, it can simply extract defective rounds as it would a regular, spent cartridge. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Models">Models</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rotary_cannon&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Models"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="M61_Vulcan_and_other_designs">M61 Vulcan and other designs</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rotary_cannon&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: M61 Vulcan and other designs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i><a href="/wiki/M61_Vulcan" title="M61 Vulcan">M61 Vulcan</a></i> 20 mm autocannon is the best-known of a family of weapons designed by <a href="/wiki/General_Electric" title="General Electric">General Electric</a> and currently manufactured by <a href="/wiki/General_Dynamics" title="General Dynamics">General Dynamics</a>.
