I saw a picture online of two GAU-8 Avenger guns with the support framing typically seen on the Dutch Goalkeeper CIWS, with the ammunition feed coming from the outboard sides of the mount. Does anyone have any further information on this weapon? Testing results? Drawings?

Cheers
 
Link?

Are you sure it wasn't Myriad, OTO Melara's twin 25mm gatling CIWS? There's a general resemblance, especially with the housing removed. Pictures of Myriad can be found in this SPF thread.
 
Glad to help. Myriad was certainly impressive looking, but I don't think anyone ever took it terribly seriously. Certainly the Italians did not (but they, they never believed in small-caliber CIWS at all).
