Yes, it's a 25mm autocannon with tracer rounds.

Ah, I was thinking that 3 rounds/second was quite slow for a machine gun

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M242_Bushmaster Might just be 3/sec but high explosive Listed as 200rpm which is roughly that in one config. Effective range at almost 2 miles. Wowzers

What's the typical ratio of regular rounds to tracers?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Those are probably all high-explosive tracer rounds.
