Editing Revolver cannon (section)

=== Compared to rotary autocannon ===
Automatic revolver cannons generally have a lower maximum sustained rate of fire than that of [[rotary cannon]]s<ref name="Carel, Vulcan and M-39">{{Cite book |last=Carel |first=Maj.

Rotary autocannons are capable of a rate of fire of up to 10,000 rounds per minute (such as the [[Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-23]]), while revolver cannons are capable of a rate of fire of up to 2,500 rounds per minute (such as the [[GIAT 30]]). However, revolver cannons are generally able to be made much lighter than rotary autocannons, requiring less support and mounting hardware—rotary autocannons spin the whole multiple barrel and breech assembly, which, in equal caliber versions, can weigh hundreds of kilograms more in comparison (though the weight per rounds fired per minute is lower for the rotary).<ref name="Carel, Vulcan and M-39" /> The firing rate of a rotary autocannon is directly related to the rotational speed of the barrel cluster. The need to accelerate this cluster generally requiring a large, external power supply means that the maximum attainable rate of fire is not immediately available. In addition, rotaries suffer from lower accuracy, due to dispersion caused by multiple barrels rotating at a varying speed. As a result of their design, revolver cannons do not suffer from these issues.
