I think so, the ones that look kinda like a Gatling gun...

Yep. I believe 7.62x51 is it. The 20mm rotary cannon that looks like a minigun on steroids is called the Vulcan, I think.
Lots of people around here know a pantload more about this stuff than me.

The General electric Vulcan mini-guns can be either 20mm or 7.62x51 like B27 says.Go with the GE GAU-8 Avenger in the A-10 aircraft if you want the King Kahuna if them all.30mm at about a 75 round per second rate of fire!
