Gun for the F22
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 15, 2004 9:25 PM
Hey everybody, I was just wondering if anyone had seen a gun port on the raptor? I hope the military isn't making the mistake they did with the early F-4s. I've really learned alot just by reading through the forum and really enjoy looking at everyone's outstanding work!

thanks everybody

No, last I hear the F-22 is still equiped with the standard Vulcan cannon that other fighters are. I read that there is a small door located somewhere (I think in a location similar to the F-15, above the engine intake). The door opens when the pilot pulls the trigger and closes after the gun burst. If there were a permanently exposed gun port then the radar signature would be to great, so they had to cover it just like the missiles.

Good question, and welcome to the forum! Sign - Welcome [#welcome]
