One of those random facts from the 'net:

The Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II's GAU-8/A machine cannon, when fired, produces
more recoil thrust (45 kN) than a single of the plane's two turbofan engines (40
kN each)...

WTF!

Fire power, literally. That's what I'd call brute force. (Then again, that's
what that whole ugly thing was designed for.)
