So the concept started with the Gatling gun, the first rotating multi-barrel machine gun, and then was scaled up into the modern minigun. That was then scaled up to the 20mm Vulcan and 30mm Avenger autocannons.
Why can’t we scale it up even further with a multi-barrel rotating artillery cannon? One that shoots 3000 artillery rounds per minute and sends massive barrages of artillery?

The US has an automatic artillery cannon that can fire a barrage of shots while adjusting the angle of the cannon on its own after each round so that all the rounds land in an area at exactly the same time. It’s like carpet bombing an entire area at the exact same moment with am army of artillery cannon, except you only need one.
It’s been around for over a decade.
