The Vulcan's rate of fire is typically 6,000 rounds per minute, although some versions (such as that of the AMX and the F-106 Delta Dart) are limited to a lower rate, and others (A-7 Corsair, F-15 Eagle) have a selectable rate of fire of either 4,000 or 6,000 rounds per minute. The M61A2's lighter barrels allow a somewhat higher rate of fire ...
A total of 4 turrets were developed for the AMX ELC. A distinctive feature of these turrets was the so-called casemate design. On the move the turret's rotation was limited to about 36°, because with more turret rotation the driver (located on the floor of the vehicle) was unable to access the tank's controls, and he might be injured by the ...
Originally debuting as either a 1.0 L (973 cc) straight-3 or 1.2 L (1,199 cc) straight-4; a 1.4 L (1,364 cc) I4 variant was added with the introduction of the second generation, replacing the 1.4 L Family 1 engine.

It used the same ammunition as the T119 gun used in the American M47 Patton (later designated 90 mm M36) but with a longer barrel, resulting in a higher muzzle velocity of 930 m/s (3,100 ft/s) with a 10.91 kg (24.1 lb) projectile, giving better range and armor penetration with kinetic ammunition. The total amount of main ammunition that was ...
