Talk:M230 chain gun

message: The PGU-14/B is 30x173mm. Its cartridge case is nominally 173mm long (6.8 inches) and is approximately 290mm (11.4 inches), overall length. The ammunition fired in the M230 gun is 30x113mm.  Its cartridge case is nominally 113mm long (4.45 inches) and is approximately 200mm (7.875 inches), overall length.  As 7.62x39mm and 7.62x51mm cartridges are not interchangeable (for example), 30x173mm and 30x113mm are not intechangeable.
The FAS/Global Security article on 30mm cannon ammunition is wrong. It implies an interchangeability that doesn't exist. Professor Liolios perpetuates the error and mis-information in his DU paper.
The only ammunition used with the M230 Apache gun is Target Practice (TP), High-Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP), dummy cartridges (for maintenance) and High-Pressure Test (HPT) used to proof barrels during production.  Reference to a High-Explosive Incendiary (HEI) cartridge is in error; this ammo has not been produced in any volume or supplied for general field use.

message: Documentation? According to the official the PDF it's called M230 Bushmaster Chain Gun. Oranjelo100 (talk) 05:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The PDF clearly indicates that "M230LF 30mm BUSHMASTER® CHAIN GUN®" is one variant of the "M230 Chain Gun" family. Please don't move again until there is a clear consensus. - BilCat (talk) 01:12, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

text: I don't think so, but I could be wrong. The first Bushmaster was the M242 Bushmaster, a 25mm variant of the M230. Apparently, the name Bushmaster was carried over to the 30mm version for some variants, but I've never seen it applied officially to the Apache's version, which is the original model. I could be wrong, but you need reliable sources, not just passing mentions. - BilCat (talk) 02:43, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

message: It seems that the gun is part of the so called Slinger weapon system produced in Australien which will e.g. be delivered to Ukraine to fight against the Russian invader. Worth mentioning? MichaelK-osm (talk) 03:48, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
