GAU-2 Basic principles

Front

What initiates the feeding cycle of the GAU-2 rotor assembly?

Back

Mechanical Power is applied to the forward gear of the rotor assembly.

Front

What type of ammunition does the GAU-2 utilize?

Back

The GAU-2 uses Centerfire Cartridges.

Front

Where are the bolts of the GAU-2 captured and mounted?

Back

The bolts are captured in tracks and mounted on the Rotor.

Front

What is the last phase of operation for the GAU-2?

Back

The last phase of operation is the Clearing Cycle.

Front

How are bolts guided during firing operation in the GAU-2?

Back

Bolts are guided along the rotor's removable tracks via Longitudinal Grooves machined into the bolts.

Front

What is the primary function of the GAU-2's rotor assembly?

Back

The rotor assembly facilitates the feeding and firing of ammunition.

Front

What role does mechanical power play in the GAU-2's operation?

Back

Mechanical power drives the feeding cycle and operation of the rotor assembly.

Front

What is the significance of the clearing cycle in the GAU-2?

Back

The clearing cycle ensures that any unfired rounds are ejected and the system is ready for the next operation.

Front

What is a centerfire cartridge?

Back

A centerfire cartridge is a type of ammunition where the primer is located in the center of the cartridge base.

Front

What are longitudinal grooves in the context of the GAU-2?

Back

Longitudinal grooves are machined features on the bolts that guide them along the rotor's tracks.
