EDIT: Ah, the Type 730 gattling gun. I probably should have Googled before typing the initial comment. Oops.

:nope: nope not the Type 730.

Its the Type 1030 CIWS. :03:

Type 730 = 7 Barrel 30mm, Type 1030 = 10 barrel 30mm. The ex-Varyang is the only ship with it so far. :know:

(Note: some think its an 11 barrel weapon, so some sources call it a Type 1130. Seen one source say 12 barrels) :hmmm:
