Yeah but the GAU is a 30mm cannon, not a gun firing 7.62mm NATO rounds. Awesome to be sure but short of strapping on some wings and engines it's pretty much useless.

3000 rounds per minute of 7.62 at a cost of $500 or more per 1000 = expensive fun.

Love the picture of Tedow with a toy that would make his parents proud...
