Please correct your post. The A-10 is not a plane. It is a massive stud gun that someone put wings on. About 42 rounds a second? Insanely massive rounds? The average recoil force of the gun is apparently 10,000 pounds-force which is slightly more than the output of one of the A-10's two engines. So with only one engine, it can not fire its cannon without risking a stall I guess. Weak! :) edit: Video footage of the gun firing.
