It’s been years, but I think there was ( might still be) a term referring to a “SUU” armament which I believe was centerline on the F-4 Phantom Aircraft.
One of the birds in a revetment for reasons I never learned, fired off the weapon. It was a fatal incident as from what I remember. I saw what it had done to a pick up truck and a wheeled fire extinguisher. I never saw the poor soul who died. This was in Korea either in ‘74or ‘75.
A year or two earlier in Taiwan I responded to an incident which for an armament crew was fatal when an AIM-9 missile launched and detonated.
