Sorry, just getting excited by a silly idea here. If anyone wants to jump in with actual facts that would be awesome though.

>Average recoil force of GAU-8/A (ARFG8)
10,000 pounds-force (44.5kN approx)
>(Recoil force Gau-8/A)*4
10,000*4 (44.5*4)
40,000 pounds-force total (178kN)
>Average human (male, global average) weight
136,68lbs (61.997kg)
>Acceleration(m/s2) = Force(N)/mass(kg)
178000/61.997
A=2871.10666645 m/s2
I will admit my physics is a bit shit and I may be a little bit drunk atm (can't remember the way to work out the maximum speed of an average man firing 4 GAU8s at once, any help much appreciated) but you're accelerating at just shy of 3km a second per second.
On a scale of 1-10 (where 1 = completely fucking toast, and 10 = zero risk of death) how survivable would that be? What equipment would you want/need to improve your odds?
Would this be just awesome or completely fucking amazing?
