The F-35 is equipped with which gun?

• A. 25mm GAU-22/A
• B. 20mm M61 Vulcan
• C. 25mm GAU-12
• D. 30mm GAU-8/A

Answer: (A)

The F-35 uses an internal 25mm rotary cannon, the GAU-22/A. It’s mounted inside the left side of the fuselage to keep the aircraft compact, reduce drag, and preserve stealth while still providing a direct-fire option for close air support and other missions. It fires 25mm rounds at a high rate of fire and typically carries about 180 rounds. This makes it a modern, integrated gun system for the platform, different from older 20mm or larger 30mm cannons that are not fitted on the F-35.
