It's mechanisms all electrical powered.
Even the shell powder charge burn by ignition of electrical powered detonator.
Only misfires been cleared by unique mechanism described in current article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.132.133.105 (talk) 22:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article be moved to Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-301 then?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.100.178.116 (talk) 04:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There does not appear to be any source that states that the name of this weapon is "offically" the GSh-301, but rather most sources (including the Sputnik link, https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/watch-and-hear-the-su-30sm-flankers-hard-hitting-30mm-c-1734478366, https://theaviationist.com/2016/09/18/video-of-live-fire-tests-of-the-russian-t-50-stealth-fighters-30-mm-gun-appears-online/, https://books.google.com/books?id=Kt2ZaOilGXIC&pg=PA247&lpg=PA247&dq=%22GSh-30-1%22&source=bl&ots=vREVhQ-II1&sig=746iSb8hrMRe8dDUkupsXAn-n18&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiYtP2RvPzcAhUD3YMKHTv2B7w4HhDoATAIegQIAhAB#v=onepage&q=%22GSh-30-1%22&f=false, and others) use GSh-30-1. This change appears to have been made off of unsourced information. I'm also concerned that the Weaponsystem.net source may not be reliable. Garuda28 (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: designation

message: " it uses a short recoil action instead of a revolver cannon or Gatling gun mechinism. This results in a reduced rate of fire, and very short barrel life, but lower weight and bulk."
I don't like the suggestion here that it has a shorter barrel life than a revolver or Gatling cannon. A Gatling, yes, since it divides its fire between multiple barrels which prolongs barrel life by lowering the rate of fire per barrel, but not a revolver cannon. It has a shorter barrel life than a Gatling, a lower rate of fire than either type, but with the benefit of being less bulky and heavy. Perhaps I will change it to reflect that..45Colt 22:02, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Barrel life 

message: First, I notice that the article still appears to suggest that for some reason the fact that the Gsh-301 is recoil operated reduces its barrel life below that of both Gatling and revolver cannons. I still don't see how a single barrel, recoil operated cannon should inherently have a shorter life than a single barreled revolver cannon. If for some reason it does have a particularly short barrel life, it is more likely due to something like barrel metallurgy or using a very high-pressure cartridge. The article ought to explain WHY a Gsh-301 has a "very low" barrel life expectancy as opposed to a revolver cannon like the ADEN, DEFA, or BK27. Those ought to actually have even shorter barrel lives, with their very high rate of fire out of a single barrel. 
Anyway, I've brought that up already. What I really came here to say is that the preview tag for the article is wrong. When you turn on preview settings, it shows a little blurb and a photograph of of the page when you hover over a link on Wikipedia. I notice the blurb for this page says that "The Gsh-301 is a 30mm Gatling-type autocannon...", which is totally wrong. A Gatling type cannon has multiple barrels and is generally externally powered. But I have no clue how one changes these preview tags, so I can't fix it. Hopefully someone who knows how will fix this? Thanks..45Colt 20:25, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
