General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems’ 30mm GAU-8/A ammunition was the most effective ammunition used in Operation Desert Storm. Performance has been proven against all targets, including tanks, armored and light vehicles. The 30mm x 173 family has been used in the GAU-8/A Gatling Gun, the Goalkeeper CIWS, and the Bushmaster II. Derivatives of the 30mm x 173 GAU 8/A family are developed and qualified by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems for use in the 30mm Mauser Model F Gun Systems.
