Air Force B-52H
Has Big ‘Stinger’
The Gatling gun, the world’s
first practical machine gun, was
introduced almost 100 years ago
in the Civil War.
An ultra-modern version of this
ancient weapon has reappeared in
the Air Force. Now it has become
the lethal stinger in the tail of
the B-52H. Hydraulically operated
and electronically controlled, the
six-barreled gun can spew out
a stream of 20-mm shells at the
rate of 4,000 rounds a minute.
Designated the AN/ASG-21, the
Gatling gun replaces the four 50-
caliber machine guns carried in
earlier B-52s.

The advance guard of manage-
ment and personnel experts at
the Ballistic Missiles Center

Secretary of the Air Force
Dudley C. Sharp announced that
126 personnel positions already
have been established at Norton
AFB and that by June 30, 700
non-technical jobs will be trans-
ferred there.
