Which aircraft are equipped with the M61A1 20 MM gun system?

• A. The F-16 and F-15C/D/E aircraft
• B. F-22 and F-35
• C. F-4 and F-14
• D. A-10 and F-16

Answer: (A)

The M61A1 20 mm gun system is an internal six-barrel rotary cannon used on a specific set of U.S. fighters for close-in engagements. This gun was standard on the F-16 and on the F-15C/D/E families, integrated into the fuselage with its own ammunition feed and fire-control integration. Because of that, those aircraft are the ones associated with the M61A1 designation. The other aircraft listed rely on different cannon systems or configurations, so they do not use the M61A1.
