Avenger Gatling Cannon on a Knight Crusader[1]

The Avenger Gatling Cannon is a type of rapid-fire projectile weapon used by Imperial Knights, most prominently on the Crusader and Warden Class.[1]

The highly feared avenger gatling cannon is like an oversized assault cannon, though its larger calibre shells are more destructive and its rate of fire is even more prodigious. A single blazing volley from the rotary weapon can stitch a pattern of death across the foe’s battle lines, causing charges to falter and fail or destroying entire attack columns of light vehicles.[2] The Avenger Gatling Cannon fires armour-piercing shells.[3]

Just like the Onslaught Gatling Cannon on the primaris Redemptor Dreadnought, the Avenger Gatling Cannon resembles the GAU-8 Avenger 30mm gatling found mounted on the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, which fires 3900 rounds per minute and is able to penetrate the armour of light tanks and vehicles.
