More nice screen captures of Type 625.

What's the rationale for using the gatling instead of the single-barrel ?
As the gatling produces much recoil compared to a single-barrel. And at the same time... single-barrel consumed less ammo due to lower firing rate.
I am starting to report at this point. The last few pages were you arguing in favor of the systems you think are optimal. It is all you attaching specific roles to systems and writing "wouldn't x caliber be better?". People have told you why the army may have specified the current configuration again and again. Yet you are opening the same discussion again. It is a polluting behavior. Normally, appeal to the authority is a fallacy but a good argument requires the questioner to have objective information. You don't have any. People who specified the multi-barrel 25 gun had a lot.

Wouldn't you think that for hitting fast-moving and/or durable targets you'd want a high rate of fire?

Single-barrel AAG are calibrated at high firing rate too.
Your previous point was about recoil. You may not know this judging from your posts, but recoil is actually generated by individual shots, not by the number of barrels.
So, if your single-barrel AAG has the same fire-rate as the multi-barrel AAG, then it will have the same recoil, because the same number of shots with the same recoil force each are taken.
On the other hand, if it has a lower recoil, then it must have a lower fire-rate, because the only way to reduce net recoil force would be to reduce the number of shots taken.

I think it is preferable to have a high fire-rate. Also, I second BoraTas, you should really try to think why experienced designers and planners at PLA and Norico have made the design choices they have, instead of the half-baked ideas you come up with.
