A U.S. Air Force Airman assigned to the 3rd Munitions Squadron, explains how ammunition is fed into the F-22 Raptor's M61A2 20mm Gatling gun system during a Gold Star family tour at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, May 21, 2026. Colville detailed the complex linkless ammunition handling system that prevents jams during high-rate firing maneuvers. This joint-base event brought together Army and Air Force personnel to offer support, fellowship and technical insight to families of fallen service members.
