Capt. Chris Petek describes the size of a 30mm round compared to the GAU-8/A "Avenger" 30mm cannon of the A-10 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Nov. 29. The cannon can fire up to 4,200 PGU-13 30mm high-explosive incendiary rounds per minute and is the backbone of the fighter's armament. Captain Petek is an A-10 pilot deployed from the 75th Fighter Squadron at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse)
