this is the M167. it is an anti air vulcan cannon used by the US as a quick deploy air defense system.

it might be a better replacemen than the flak-esque cannon in use now

I've considdered that, but it's gone the way of the dinosaur along with the M163 Vulcan.

It was replaced in favor for the Stinger missile system, M6 Linebacker and Avenger.

The GDF-003 is a Canadian 35mm gun much like the PRTL.

If you like I can make anti air artillery non-flak (blast fragmentation) and make them shoot straight at aircraft (mainly helicopters and low flying aircraft like in real life).
