Revolver Cannon Design

[Broncazonk]

Does anyone have a link to pictures and description of a revolver cannon?

I'm not talking a Gatling cannon, a revolver cannon.

Thanks!!

Here a squematic of the Mauser MG 213 wich is the "father" of all the aircraft revolver cannons. The gun used a part of the gasses to move a slide back and forward for managing the extraction and introduction in the chamber of cartrigde cases. It fires ellectrically.

To say it in short terms : it combined the action of a revolver with one of a semiauto pistol.



The french DEFAs, the US Pontiac M39 and the british ADEN family are all "modern" variants of the german gun.

I couldn't figure out how the shell-casing was extracted.
