I don't know about the 30mm but I had a friend who had a 20mm. I called him one day and he had his kids out picking up the brass. He said he could not get many in a 5 gallon bucket! He did not buy powder by the pound!
The shark mouth is used by the 23rd FB group, each plane has to fly a certain number of missions to earn the shark mouth paint job.
These days I hate knowing so much about WW1, WW2, Korea and Viet Nam aircraft!

I've a patient who flew an A-10. He described it as "a plane built to fit a gun". Dunno if that is true, but he also said the responsibility and power was both humbling and energizing; somebody messing with the boys on the ground won't do it after 'the Hog' makes a pass or two. Not much can survive that kind of firepower.
Another patient flew a helicopter with similar armament and said pretty much the same things.
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
some of you'all might have firearms you could trade straight across. and already have the reloading supplies, could use squib loads for practice before the hogs move in . . .

I visited with a wart hog driver at an airshow in Juneau. He said he can put every round in a 55 gallon drum from a mile away. Sheeesh.
right over on the other hand, this puppy would be satisfying, https://shopcoltfirearms.com/colt-1877- ... l-edition/
...and at a mere $39,000 the Colt Gatling is probably about a hundredth the cost of the GE 39mm and 'holster'...

Yeah, what's 39K means to thems that gots it. Think Musk would notice the cash flow? Not even. But he might notice the gatling gun. Or he might buy a Wart Hog and have some real fun. I doubt he would miss the cost of that either. That's just how it is . . . LOL
This "little" shell that I found in my dad's belongings after he passed away appears to be very similar to the one posted in the OP. It measures right around 30mm. I've been wondering exactly what it was...so can someone here enlighten me as to what caliber it is, and what it would be fired from?
Gonna need a bigger reloading press and a custom mould and lead pot for that Warthog round. Not to mention a BUNCH of wheelweight lead to feed that thing!!! Powder/primers are another story
