PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

The weapon carrying capacity difference between J-10C & Rafale are simply mind boggling. The J-10C carrying capacity is really pathetic.
For J-10CE,the only target is RAFALE. So 4XPL-15 is enough.
 
I am quite aware of that fact.However my question was why wasn't a rotary(aka Gatling) gun used for J-10, much like the F-16??

How come the F-16 doesn't use the GAU 8 gatling gun of the A-10 Warthog?

Why go halfway with a gatling gun?

Can you please bother not to reply if you are going throw a rhetorical tantrum instead of some fruitful discussion...Much appreciated
 
Rocking Islamabad these days.

Nice they are flying it every day! Must love the new toy.

Are they doing any combat training yet or are they focused on aerobatics until after the parade?

One of the reasons they are not leading the parade is that they are not operational yet.

A: Rotary or Gatling guns are a very American thing. You will not find other Aircrafts using these. Example being Eurofighter, Rafale, Grippen do not use Gatling guns. Most Soviets and Chinese Aircraft use either GSh-23 or GSh-30 cannons.

B: Refer to your original question, "why J-10 is not using a gatling gun", can you please clarify why you think J-10 should be using a gatling gun or what is missing by not using a gatling gun ?

Well more ammo, insane rate of fire, less prone to jamming, and more shredding I guess.....

And it also kind of begs the philosophical question that why do Americans opt for Gatling guns and not these other nations?? Have they not miniaturized this tech or whatever.....

Because compared to m61a, gsh-23 is more powerful.
3600rpm 175g vs 6000rpm 100g
Why choose a less powerful weapon?
