They do still mount guns on most. Notable examples of gunless fighters I can think of are the F-117 Nighthawk and the F-4 Phantom. F-117s weren’t really fighters, and got the F designation to lure in crazy fighter jocks. F-4s were later fitted with a gun pod, and then (IIRC) retrofitted with a gun.
I hate it when they have a modern fighter jet firing it’s guns and it sounds like “thunka thunka thunka thunka”.
Do they even still mount guns on fighter jets or do they just use missiles?
20mm vulcan guns on most us jets, because you can’t jam a bullet
yes but they all go bbbbuuuuuurrrrrtttt
