The phantom was a fleet interceptor and didn't need a gun for that mission. It was employed as a fighter. It didn't take a physicist to know missiles of the day sucked goose eggs and guns were still needed. It was stifling politics that led to that failure. I would take a gunless lo fighter with 2 aim9x any day and save the weight of the gun for fuel or better t/w. Guns are dead except for a2g. I remember the phantom, no need to look it up.If you expend your aams the last thing you went to do as a aviator is close into a furball and throw away your stealth and situation awareness to throw bullets. Real life ain't like the finale of top gun.Even a hornet can shoot a raptor. :I don't know much about future aams but hopefully pca ngad will come equipped with 2 to 3 9x.
