In 1947 General Electric, under the name "Project Vulcan", began the development of the modern , externally powered gatling gun.
The first 10 guns delivered were the Model T45 in 60 cal (15.2 x 114).
Further work produced a second batch of guns (33 in total), Models T45, T171 and T150.
The T45 was , again, in 60 cal.
The T171 was in 20 x 102, based on the 15.2 x 114 case. The model was developed into the M61 Vulcan.
The T150 was in 27mm and was again based on the 14.2 x 114.
Chinn (Vol III) lists overall length of all three rounds as 6 5/8 inches. The 27mm was listed by Chinn with a mv of 3300 fps.
The T151 was a revolver canon developed by the US also in 27mm, but this was a relatively low velocity round (2000 fps).
Has anybody have a drawing or picture of this round.
Chinn NEVER put pictures or drawing in his books.
