Used in everything from the F-4, through the F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, to the F-22 and even the AC-130, the GE M61 Vulcan is an electrically driven, six-barrel, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fires 20 mm rounds at an extremely high rate (typically 6,000 rounds per minute). The M61 and its derivatives have been the principal cannon armament of United States military fixed-wing aircraft for sixty years.
Here we see one example mounted on a stand or cart to be moved around while unmounted from the aircraft, maybe for switching it to a different aircraft, or reloading. I got the inspiration for this build from a photo, and realizing I had all the necessary small yellow parts, especially the wheeled base, that came from a Minions booster pack, of all things. It comes to just under around 25 pieces, I made it because I think it's a fun thing to add a touch of realism to your airfield dioramas, having it in the background. Thank you for reading!
