The following guns were used in the film Top Gun:
- Jets are not my field of profession, nor are their weaponry. Anyone with superior knowledge is free to edit. - Gunmaster45
GE M134 Minigun
Whenever the guns are selected as opposed to the missiles in the film, close ups are seen of GE M134 Miniguns used for the insert shot as a stand in for the M61 Vulcan as there were no blank fire Vulcan Cannons in the film industry at that time. In reality, the F-14 Tomcats would be using M61 Vulcan 20mm cannons, and even though both jets are seen using the same guns, the Russian MiG 28 would not be using the same guns. In reality, doesn't exist any MiG 28: actually, Mikoyan Gurevich has called her models only with odd numbers (For example MiG 25, 29 or 31).
The M61 Vulcan cannons on the F-14 are internal, you shouldn't be seeing them fire other than a muzzle flash from the cannon port on the left side of the fuselage far below the cockpit.
Okay...actually, we never see the Tomcats firing their guns. Every bit of Gat fire is from the MiG 28s.
As the "MiG 28" is firing a Gatling gun, The M134 Minigun would be a stand in for a 23mm GSh-6-23M or a 30mm GSh-6-30 opposed to the M61 Vulcan.
