The M41 ELAAG is a design alteration of the venerable M41 Vulcan Light Anti-Aircraft Cannon commonly in service on M12 Warthog Light Reconnaissance Vehicles. The ELAAG variant is designed to operate in a space warfare environment, firing specialised gas-jacketed, armor-piercing depleted uranium 12.7x99mm rounds[2] with pressurised atmospheric contents to ensure an explosive percussion in a vaccuum or other challenging environments.[5]
