That "gun" is a 20mm Phalanx normally put on warships, however, we now use it for counter RAM (rocket artillery mortar). Nothing says respect like 3000 rounds per min ( http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/weaps/mk-15.htm).

The russian navy has a similar system : AK-630
A bigger calibre of 30 mm and an astonishing rate of fire of 10000 rpm

Its firing bullets, but don't know which caliber?? 20mm?

As said its normally seen on Warships, like aircraft carriers. Thats because if a missile is locked on the ship it can take out the missile with this gun. more effective then taking a missile out with a missile

Yep thats right, even we have some of these on our navy ships in holland (not that we ever use them or anything).

I want one on the roof of my house. Or you can buy a hummer and put this thing in it haha, or in your 360 spider, that would be funny (or not).
