Talk:Top Gun: Maverick

GAU-22/A

I don't think the F-35C in the intro has the gun pod - I could be wrong but I think it is still one of the problematic things they haven't got ready for approved carrier use yet.--AgentGumby (talk) 17:18, 29 May 2022 (EDT)

I couldn't really see for sure either, but I figure there's no harm in mentioning it until the movie hits home release and we can better examine the sequence. Spartan198 (talk) 10:38, 31 May 2022 (EDT)

P-51's Brownings

While the Mustang (it actually belongs to Tom Cruise) naturally doesn't have any functional weapons being a civilian-owned aircraft, I'm unsure whether it would have deactivated M2s in the wings, or simply nothing at all. Even if they're technically not there, it's probably worth mentioning that they're supposed to be. Alex T Snow (talk) 20:00, 31 May 2022 (EDT)

Ship-mounted weapons

Normally Phalanxes and such are listed on our pages, though modern ships are not remotely my area of expertise so I'll defer to others for this info. I didn't catch which carrier(s) is featured in the film, but the ship that launches the Tomahawks was named as USS Leyte Gulf, for what that piece of trivia is worth.
