For the GAU-8A Avenger, its muzzle velocity is about the same as the M242 bushmaster from high-tech, so I think that we can eye-ball it from there. As it also shoots depleted uranium rounds like the M242, I'm suggesting something like:
GAU-8 DMG 6dx10(2) pi inc Range 4500/20000 acc 6+(whatever aiming system it does have, I have no idea), EWt. 620(only the weapon, but the full system is about 4000 pounds), RoF is 70, shots is 1150 (typical load), ST is higher than 30M, maybe up to 35M, Bulk is VERY high (the entire plane is built around it, I think that it is between -16 and -18), Rcl is 2, I don't know the costs of the thing.

I'm in a hurry, so later I will revise and post more.
