Which of the following is part of the Viper's armament?

• A. 20mm Cannon
• B. 30mm Cannon
• C. 40mm Grenade Launcher
• D. 105mm Howitzer

Answer: (A)

The Viper’s built-in gun is a 20mm cannon, which is the primary armament used for close air support and strafing runs. That 20mm caliber is sized to provide a high rate of fire and sufficient firepower while fitting the helicopter’s airframe and mission profile. The 30mm cannon is associated with the AH-64 Apache, not the Viper, so it doesn’t match this aircraft. A 40mm grenade launcher isn’t standard for the Viper, and a 105mm howitzer is a ground-based artillery piece, not helicopter-mounted. So the 20mm cannon is the correct choice because it’s the Viper’s actual internal gun.
