Mean time between jams or failures is in excess of 10,000 rounds, making it an extremely reliable weapon. The success of the Vulcan Project and its subsequent progeny, the very-high-speed Gatling gun, has led to guns of the same configuration being referred to as Vulcan Cannon, which can sometimes confuse nomenclature on the subject. Most aircraft versions of the M61 are hydraulically driven and electrically primed. The gun rotor, barrel assembly and ammunition feed system are rotated by a hydraulic drive motor through a system of flexible drive shafts. The round is fired by an electric priming system where an electrical current from a firing lead passes through the firing pin to the primer as each round is rotated into the firing position. The self-powered version, the GAU-4 (called M130 in Army service), is gas-operated, tapping gun gas from three of the six barrels to operate the mechanism. The self-powered Vulcan weighs about 10 pounds (4.5 kg) more than its electric counterpart, but requires no external power source to operate. The initial M61 used linked, belted ammunition, but the ejection of spent links created considerable (and ultimately insuperable) problems. The original weapon was soon replaced by the M61A1, with a linkless feed system. Depending on the application, the feed system can be either single-ended (ejecting spent cases and unfired rounds) or double-ended (returning casings back to the magazine). A disadvantage of the M61 is that the bulk of the weapon, its feed system, and ammunition drum makes it difficult to fit it into a densely packed airframe. The feed system must be custom-designed for each application, adding 300–400 lb (140–180 kg) to the complete weapon. Most aircraft installations are double-ended, because the ejection of empty cartridges can cause a foreign-object damage (FOD) hazard for jet engines and because the retention of spent cases assists in maintaining the center of gravity of the aircraft. The first aircraft to carry the M61A1 was the C model of the F-104, starting in 1959. A lighter version of the Vulcan developed for use on the F-22 Raptor, the M61A2, is mechanically the same as the M61A1, but with thinner barrels to reduce overall weight to 202 pounds (92 kg). The rotor and housing have also been modified to remove any piece of metal not absolutely needed for operation and replaces some metal components with lighter weight materials. The F/A-18E/F also uses this version.
- The Vulcan cannon is a hydraulically, pneumatically, or electrically driven, six-barreled, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style gun with an extremely high rate of fire. While varying in caliber, their main role is essentially the same - delivery of massive amounts of firepower in a short amount of time. To this end each of the barrels is outfitted with its own firing chamber, permitting continuous fire without overheating. This gun is highly effective against infantry, killing them in only a few volleys of shells, but not as effective against heavily armored vehicles and infantry, such as cyborgs, due to their heavy armor. The rounds used by Vulcan cannons are more than sufficient to shatter plexiglass and light armor, thus giving it some use against lightly armored vehicles such as Nod Buggies and Recon Bikes. In service ever since the First Tiberium War, it has been an integral part of weapon arsenals of all factions in varying calibers and forms (including a short-lived personal chaingun). It was, for example, mounted in A-10 Thunderbolts. In the Second Tiberium War it has been the basic anti-infantry weapon of the GDI component towers (in the form of the Vulcan cannon upgrade), Wolverines, as well as being used on several converted automobiles of the Forgotten. Nod cyborgs also had compact versions mounted on their right arms as a primary weapon. Some of the mutants opted to use them while on foot, and some continue to (e.g. the Mutant Marauders). By the years leading up to the Ascension Conflict, Vulcan cannons were mounted on the frame of Kodiak-class battlecruisers thus providing the fly vessels with a level of anti-aircraft capabilities.
