Barrel of an Aircraft Gun
6. January 2012 by Friedhelm.
I had the opportunity to photograph at the Aerospace Museum in Sacramento, CA. The rifling inside the barrel caught my attention. It looks like a 20mm barrel of a Gatling Gun mounted on a Thunderbolt II aircraft. Camera setting: 180mm macro lens, f5.6, 1/320 sec., ISO 800.
By the way: Gatling, the inventor of the gun wrote “that he created it to reduce the size of armies and to reduce the number of death by combat or disease, and to show how futile war is.” I found this sentence in the Wikipidia article about the Gatling Gun. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatling_gun.
Happy photographing
