Probably, but I can't picture it.

It sounds like...

It's like, it sounds like it fires like 4,000 rounds per minute, something, something around there.

It's like absolutely absurd amount of ammunition.

It fires so much ammunition and so fast that it literally slows the jet down.

The jet has two jet engines and the Gatling gun on the front produces as much thrust as one of those jet engines.

So it actually slows down.

So when the A-10 Warthog fires and holds the trigger down, they can't hold it down too long because they can actually slow the plane down too much and they can alter its handling characteristics and everything.

So they have to be mindful.

And that's all a rocket engine is.

It's expelling mass.

It's shooting mass, mass flow, propellant as fast as possible.

Supersonic, you know, and they're shooting it.

out as the faster you throw mass, the more reaction it has against you.

Right.

So that's all a rocket engine is.

And so that's why we developed these incredible engines like SpaceX now famously has a Raptor engine, it's called.

Yes.

The world's first flown full flow stage combustion engine where it's so advanced.

They're using all of the propellant basically to to not only spin the pumps and the power of the pumps that suck the gas, you know, the propellant out of the tanks and shoves it into the combustion chamber as high pressure as possible.
