GAU-19/B Lightweight Gatling Gun .50 Caliber

Lightweight, Reliable, Lethal
The GAU-19/B .50 caliber Gatling Gun is a lightweight gatling gun for application on a variety of air, land and sea platforms, including helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, land-based vehicles, naval vessels and high-speed patrol boats.

With a rate of fire of 1,300 shots per minute, the .50 caliber GAU-19/B provides superior firepower in a lightweight system. The total system weight of the three barrel GAU-19/B is neutral to that of a single barrel machine gun.

Lightweight and devastating firepower make the GAU-19/B the ideal weapon system for air, land or sea operations.
The GAU-19/B has an unmatched 40,000 mean rounds between failure with the first scheduled maintenance begining at 35,000 rounds. It fires a standard NATO .50 caliber M9-linked ammunition. The gun’s automatic clearing cycle ensures live rounds are not left in the gun.
