And here's an answer to Bristoe's puzzle about where we kept the food trough for the mini-pigs. 2K rounds, good for 10 3 second bursts at 4,000 RPM.

Never had anything compact as that XM27.. The first part of my tour was nurse mating the 3 early static mounted SUU-11 gun pods [ pic below] from shaking themselv'es apart or preventing the loading area to be shelled by hot 7.62 spent empties.. We rotated tail numbers between Pleiku and were lucky enough to fly several retrofitted with MXU-470 modules a welcome breath of fresh air from the ratting gun pods...VNAF inherited all AC47 aircraft after I left in 1970..
