  The GAU-8/A Avenger Popular mythology states that the GAU-8 came about solely to kill Soviet tanks. In actuality, the gun was an integral part of the A-X design from the beginning, specifically designed to be the most flexible and versatile weapon that could engage across the spectrum of targets that CAS requires. The A-X would be required to engage everything from infantry, to prepared defensive positions (reinforced machine-gun nests), through staging areas, to columns of main battle tanks—the entirety of enemy equipment on the battlefield. While certain weapons did well against certain targets, only a gun effectively spanned the entire range of expected targets. In the discussion of caliber, the design team analyzed all options. The 20mm enjoyed support as the most readily available and “standard” option for US fighters, however, it did not live up to the tasks and requirements laid before the A-X. To satisfy the requirement of killing armor while retaining effectiveness across the battlefield, the team settled between 25 and 35mm. 35mm provided perhaps the best option for anti-armor but would have required a reciprocating cannon instead of a Gatling Gun, which would have in-turn reduced reliability. Since a Gatling-style gun was needed, the GAU-8 became a 30mm. Recent discussions on the use of Depleted Uranium (DU) as armor penetration rounds have circulated through the media. DU creates heavy-metal residue that can lead to cancerous growths due to exposure—all heavy metals do this, but DU carries the unfortunate title of URANIUM, which sounds bad in usage, and therefore ends up as a target in the media. Tungsten has been floated as an alternative to DU—while still a heavy metal, so the after-effects would remain the SAME. However, it sounds better, and sometimes that’s all the difference, right? Interestingly enough, tungsten was considered as a penetrator early in the development of the 30mm round. However, DU creates better incendiary and secondary effects as it reacts with armor while it penetrates. The pyrophoric effect of DU exponentially adds to the killing power of the round that would not be present with other penetrators, and this effect was studied in-depth early in the design phase. The 30mm rounds that the GAU-8 required did not exist in an “off the shelf” capacity and had to be created from zero. The gun itself was relatively inexpensive, so far as weaponry is concerned. The bullets, however, nearly crippled the program. Wartime stockpile planning required six months of war-reserve-material 30mm to be stocked, and the initial cost per round for these 30mm rounds was $115 EACH! True to form, the bureaucracy of the service led the charge here, and most of that cost came in packaging and storage as required under current MILSPEC regulations. One VERY creative officer got all that changed, Bob Bilger (spelling?) and the price of each round dropped to $13. He also dramatically changed the testing of the gun. Originally, the GAU-8 was to be tested on a stand, engaging a simple target, as most guns were. Under Bilger’s direction, the test was changed to a live, aerial firing, which uncovered dramatic flaws. The first successful firing of the GAU-8 was followed in short-order (same flight) by the first successful ejection from an A-10! The GAU-8 produced so much smoke, that it blinded the pilot during firing, and the residue flamed out both engines. These flaws would NEVER have been discovered on a test stand! He also developed the true Lot Acceptance Verification Program (LAVP) that resides in A-10 historical lore. He managed to acquire an impressive array of tanks, of both friendly and Soviet designs. (The unlikely and clandestine manners in which this came about is a story in-and-of itself!) In the end, they created the fourth largest armored formation in the world! The test also directed that the tanks be configured in combat configurations (the Army was known for filling gas tanks with water during such tests—I guess it shows where the leaks would come from, but did nothing to show actual combat effects!), and a team was assembled that could repair the tanks for repeated testing. The results were far and above expectations, showcasing the true power of the 30mm DU round in not only penetrating armor, but the deadly effects that such rounds created once they made it through that shell. Coincidentally, about this same time, a Texas delegation demanded a flyoff between the A-7 and A-10. While the Hog performed well in the tests, the LAVP results sealed the deal—no external 30mm gun pod on established fighters could match what the GAU-8 proved in the desert near Nellis. Interesting side note: A-10 pilots like to point out how the GAU-8 system retains its spent casings—so as not to spit out metal over the battlefield. Sprey felt that this was an unnecessary addition that came with the risk of added weight and potentially critical jams, and fought for a traditional expulsion upon firing. He lost that battle, though he admits that the system works better than he had feared at the time. The question of first-round hits vs employing longer bursts: The question was posed concerning the testing and accuracy of the GAU-8—was it ever tested to determine how the accuracy of the gun changed throughout a single firing? Every A-10 pilot is taught about the spin-up time of the gun and how that affects the placement of initial rounds. After that spin-up time, the remaining bullets employed “should” demonstrate a common accuracy within the known dispersion of the cannon (accounting for such “kicks” to the round as the Magnus and Gatling Effects). Hogs are renowned for employing long “combat” bursts of between 100 to 150 rounds, but the question remains: are we wasting bullets after a certain point, or are those long bursts required to account for all variables and effectively provide the desired effects against a given target? Acoustic-score technology fails to provide us these answers as they only register the total number of “hits,” and not the order of record. High speed, hi-resolution cameras would be necessary to accomplish such testing, and even then—the environment would have to be altered to account for all of the dust clouds that are kicked up every time the gun is employed—it might be difficult if not impossible to record shots after a certain number of rounds. Additionally, so many other factors play in to the discussion; aimpoint, stress, environmentals—all of which could be accounted for with a detailed-enough program, and the technology certainly exists if anyone was willing to spend the money to make it happen this late in the aircraft’s lifespan. But, out of this discussion came an interesting point—the design team envisioned 50 round bursts, or the ability to engage 20 individual targets with the gun. An eye-opening point, especially when contrasted with the manner in which the gun has been employed throughout the A-10’s impressive service. It should be noted, however, that the original gun was installed without the later technology called Precision Attitude Control. When engaged, this system “locks” the flight controls to hold the aimpoint on the target. The pilot can still refine the aimpoint as control is transferred to the trim tabs. This addition to the A-1 VASTLY increased its accuracy in longer bursts, and improved the density of bullets on a single aimpoint. Prior to PAC, some studies assessed that only the first 25 rounds retained the most accuracy. With PAC, pilots at the biannual Hawgsmoke event have proven to register upwards of 98-99% hits with the gun!

  The problem with Battlefield 6 match making is you either destroy them / you get destroyed or you get bots. I can't stress enough how badly we need a server browser.

  She’s performing battlefield surgery on herself. A grunt of pain leaves her mouth as she extracts a blade from her skin. “Damn those green-skin barbarians and their tusks!” Wrapping the wound with a bandage, seemingly accustomed to the act after so many years of service.

  @BattlefieldComm You can notice it through them keeping apologizing in their posts and stating that they can't identify the root cause of the bugs such as the lighting bug in redsec. Many bugs takes them too long to fix, if these bugs are ever fixed.

  Inside Day 1: The Technical and Constitutional Warfare Rocking the Memphis Courthouse The first day of the federal proceedings in Memphis has concluded, and anyone looking strictly at standard media headlines is completely missing the underlying legal earthquake. Yesterday, Chief U.S. District Judge Sheryl H. Lipman convened a high-stakes, all-day session. While the prosecution spent the day introducing technical arguments regarding an artificial $33 million intended loss calculation and presenting emotional public narratives to maintain their trajectory, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar’s legal team fiercely contested the case from every angle. The atmosphere inside the courtroom wasn’t a standard, compliant step toward a predetermined conclusion. It was a dense, multi-pronged battlefield over regulatory overreach and constitutional integrity. Dismantling the Government’s Arithmetic The primary skirmish of Day 1 focused heavily on the government’s attempt to weaponize out-of-context billing metrics. The prosecution has fought to implement a staggering $33 million figure based on alleged fraudulent billing and the outpatient reuse of single-use accessories. The defense team has systematically refuted this hyper-inflated math. This calculated number doesn’t represent actual clinical damages or financial loss to patients; it represents an aggressive administrative equation designed by automated bureaucracy to maximize a punitive outcome. By pushing back vigorously against these calculations, the defense is forcing the court to confront the sheer absurdity of holding an outpatient community clinic—which successfully delivered 15,000 safe procedures over more than a decade—to guidelines that flatly ignore real-world medical practice. The Elephant in the Room: Tainted Testimony and the FDA Safe Harbor What standard broadcast updates refuse to tell the public is that the entire legal theory used to build this multi-count indictment has already been thoroughly compromised. As the defense has continuously highlighted in active emergency filings, the prosecution’s star witness from the FDA, Dr. Poulomi Nandy, explicitly testified during the trial that the FDA had “never cleared any hysteroscopes for high-level disinfection,” claiming absolute sterilization was the only legal standard. The Manila Times This testimony has been completely dismantled by actual manufacturer documentation. Olympus’s official Instructions for Use (IFU) for the very devices in question repeatedly state that high-level disinfection is a fully accepted, standard protocol for outpatient clinics. The Manila Times Furthermore, sworn declarations from top-tier national authorities—including Stephen D. Terman, the former Associate Chief Counsel for Enforcement at the FDA itself—remain live on the record, confirming that the DOJ fabricated its regulatory theory. The FDA explicitly carved out a “safe harbor” exempting non-hospital outpatient facilities from these requirements. The state essentially prosecuted a community doctor for violating a rule that the regulatory agency itself says does not apply to him. Markets Insider - Business Insider The Ultimate Double Standard As we head into Day 2, where the court is expected to hear further arguments, the core systemic injustice of this entire proceeding remains completely exposed. The system demands absolute, unyielding perfection from an independent physician, yet grants itself infinite grace for its own catastrophic failures. The court has spent months dealing with a Remmer Crisis because severe outside influences and structural contamination infected the jury room during deliberations. In any logically consistent world, a contaminated trial framework would lead to an immediate dismissal. Instead, independent medicine is being forced to fight on a tilted playing field. localmemphis.com+ 1 Dr. Kumar’s defense team is not backing down. They are continuing to raise significant, unresolved structural and regulatory errors that must eventually be addressed by a higher authority. The Battle Continues This process is far from over. The defense is laying an unassailable foundation for a massive appellate review, proving step-by-step that this case is a product of runaway overzealousness and flawed federal interpretations. Markets Insider - Business Insider EagleSmithPR will remain on the ground to pull back the curtain on the technical facts, the explicit regulations, and the unfiltered truth as Day 2 gets underway.

  @BattlefieldComm @DRUNKKZ3 @DRUNKKZ3 "I’m inclined to believe this is an AMD graphics issue. After last big update I can’t turn FSR without the game causing freezes and crashes. After turning off FSR the game is playable again. XBOX uses an AMD card the issue might be this but who knows." From reddit.

  @HapaFodder @Battlefield lol the "flare issues" are that flares often don't work, so the missiles hit anyway. The RPGs were way too easy to hit aircraft with relative to past BFs, so they got nerfed. Meanwhile, the m136 AT is super easy to use and one-shots aircraft, and the AA tank got way over buffed.

  The problem isn’t just the tech. It’s Washington’s speed. We study, delay, rebid, redesign, and somehow call that strategy. By the time a system arrives, the battlefield may have already moved on. Kendall’s warning is really about time and production. Autonomy is moving. Electronic warfare is moving. Sensors are moving. If procurement stays frozen, our troops pay for it later.
