I don't really get why the Osprey is on the list. I mean, it is a beautiful aircraft, but unless you have multiple trained pilots who already know how to operate the tilt rotor system, they're just pretty lawn ornaments. I may not be up to date on Osprey's, but I've mainly heard that they're hard as hell to fly, even for military personnel trained specifically to use the Osprey. Unfortuantely, I think using an Osprey would more than likely come to a fiery end.

The A10 warthog uses a vulcan, not a gatling. A vulcan is an autocannon which in lay man's terms is a gattling gun that is electrically powered. So by definition, the GUA-8/A is actually an autocannon. The autocannon used in the A10 Warthog is a vulcan which is manufactured by general dynamics The M134 on the other hand, is a mini-gun. The company that produces it owns the name mini-gun, and so all other electrically powered gatling guns are still referred to as vulcans or autocannons depending on who manufactures it.
