The most efficient armament is the GSh-301 as used in the MiG-29 and Su-27 families. Approximately the same rate of fire as the BK 27, firing equally powerful ammo, but with less than half the weight. For only slightly more weight than one GIAT 30M791 you could fit three of them, with a total RoF of around 5,000 rpm. They’re a bit hairy in operation, however, with smoke and spent cases bursting out of them – there’s a short video of a ground test somewhere on the web.Tony Williams: Military gun and ammunition website and discussion

Tony you are confounding with the 23mm GSh-23!
as the DEFA is heavier because he have the charger unit seven chamber revolver and a electrical selectable variator to choose 300/600/1500/2500 rpm
included!
if you add the charger and a electric variator and six other revolver chamber to GHS301, he would be more than 140 kilos! with a lower range and velocity 660m/s

The general policy of the British Government is to fund a project in proportion to the quantifiable return. The large ESA environmental satellite ENVISAT received a large chunk of cash from the UK government because it provides earth resources data to academia and industry. Beagle 2 received 7.8 million pounds from the UK government. The total cost is approx 40 million pounds. Envisat cost 1.5 Billion pounds and the UK government contributed 300 million pounds. However, it should be noted that Envisat was pan european.I should point out that as a Brit working in the Space Industry I get frustrated at the lack of recognition of my countries’ achievements in this area. Most people I talk to on a first time basis are shocked to find that the UK has a Space industry. This is why I make sure Beagle gets a mention here.
p.s. Note my avatar is a BAC 111, a successful, entirely British Airliner.
The UK has contributed £300m to the project, a record for a British contribution to one satellite and second only to France among the 14 collaborators.
