Further development of Type 730 results in Type 1130, which first appeared on Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning. This successor of Type 730 is also 30 mm caliber and has a total 11 barrels, with reported rate of fire of 9,000 to 11000 rounds per minute Originally developed with 10 barrels, it eventually had 11 barrels when completed, and rumored to have the nickname Vulcan. Although it's reported that FL-3000 missiles can be integrated to the gun like FCS, this has not occurred yet, and FL-3000 was installed separately on the first Chinese aircraft carrier in its own launchers.
