Cannons, I believe. Varied mounted positions, and calibers.
Notable, the A-10's GAU-8/A Avenger -- 30 mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon at 3900 shots/min. It uses dense, spent uranium shells as rounds against armoured vehicles.
The F-16 20mm M61A1 six-barrel Gatling gun and a linkless ammunition feed system. The 6,000 shots/min
AC-130U/W Spectre gunships and replacement--- AC-130J Ghostrider ---three side-firing weapons, a 25mm Gatling gun, a 40mm Bofors cannon, and a 105mm howitzer
