There is discrepancy among sources as to the GAU/23's ammunition type. The ''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'' makes note that the GAU/23 fires [[:Wikipedia:.50 BMG|.50 BMG]] ammunition, which would make it [[12.7×99mm Armor-Piercing]] ammo similar to that used by the [[M41 Vulcan]]. The later ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' indicates the weapon to fire 30mm ammunition, while a later [[Halo Waypoint]] [[Canon Fodder]] post focusing on the Sparrowhawk identifies the ammunition type as 20mm.{{Ref/Reuse|units}} This article assumes the latter source as definitive information.

Additionally, the described properties of the GAU/23 as seen on the Sparrowhawk and Hornet in ''Halo Wars'' do not match the appearance of the weapon used by the Vulture gunship. The former two aircraft use the GAU/23 as a tri-barrelled autocannon for light targets, while the Vulture appears to only have one barrel per weapon firing at a slow rate of fire.

The former two aircraft use the GAU/23 as a tri-barrelled autocannon for light targets, while the Vulture appears to only have one barrel per weapon firing at a slow rate of fire. And tri-barrelled GAU/23 use by the sparrowhawk is more larger than tri-barrelled GAU/23 use by the hornet . This shows that both hornet and sparrowhawk fire different type of ammunition.
