Cool Breeze Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Ok, I'm looking for a particular study done by the Army and/or the Air Force on the effectiveness and accuracy of the Gau-8 mounted on the A-10 against armored vehicles. My key word search skills are remedial to say the least unfortunately. lol I know I've seen the study shared in a few posts and various places in the A-10 forum I'm just unable to find it. If your able to share it with me here it would be much appreciated! I've found the 'Coloring Book for A-10 Pilots' and am looking for something else. Thanks for any help!

It went very in depth on rounds fired vs. rounds on target, the effects of the particular rounds used, effective employment angles, and the like. This is an interesting PDF thank you for sharing it, I'll dig into it when I get some more free time!
