The pilot should have burned through all of his rounds in less than 5 seconds and yet he was firing sustained for more than 7. So we have no way of saying for sure what that thing was using, probably some type of machine gun or autocannon.
Yes, I pointed out the inconsistencies in my posts in the other thread. But standard armament of an F35 is the GAU 22. And it's 3-4 second max firing time (around 200 rounds). Firing rate isn't slow tho, what you see are the tracer or TP rounds. There are multiple rounds fired for each visible TP round you see.
There was no indicator of it being anything else or even if there are other gunpods designed for the F-35. It comes down to movies being inconsistent in general about these kinds of things. Heck, if you want to argue these kinds of things, one can say that the A-10 in MoS was inconsistent with how fast the firing rate was based on the impact marks on the movie. But this is "movies", and consistent physics isn't its strong point. However, if you want to claim that a different weapon was being fired, onus is on you to prove it.
