A little late here but with regard to the naval Starfigher according to the images on the site Cocas linked to there were three different gun options proposed. One T-171 20mm rotary cannon, two T-182 30mm cannons, or four 20mm Mk12 cannons. As such all three of the cannon options being discussed were possibilities. I wonder how close the T-182 30mm prototype was in design to the ADEN and DEFA series cannons?

 

What looks odd to me is that in this diagram all three gun options have 500 rounds of ammo listed. From what I have been able find the T-182 was a 30mm weapon. If so then it was probably designed to use NATO standard 30mm ammunition, assuming that the same total amount of mass was given to gun ammunition in all three options, then based upon the difference in mass per round of 20mm and 30mm the ammo capacity for the T-182 option should be a total of 250 to 300 rounds for a per gun load of between 125 and 150 rounds. That amount per gun of 30mm is in line with contemporary British and French fighters.

T-171 is the Vulcan prototype.
