He is carrying a General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger(a-10) that can only use 30 mm rounds which is a tank buster.
This video should clearly show you how powerful is a single bullet.
Those are multiple rounds (video with sound below), in fact, about 60 rounds per second according to wikipedia (dunno how many hit the car tho). Although I can agree that they're definitely powerful enough to be able to kill Rhodey if Iron Monger focused fire. I would imagine that Rhodey would return fire while rising up to the sky instead of firing while being at the same spot getting fired at. But after witnessing that, I can see that round 3 might not be an easy win for Rhodey.
Curious, do you have a source where it says Iron Monger uses this rounds? I couldn't find it under his MCU wiki page and just wanted to be sure.
I am not sure u get how powerful is 7.62 mm it can easily penetrate steel plates that are way more durable then aluminum vehicles.
Here's a video of a M134 minigun in action. It utilizes 7.62×51mm NATO rounds. As you can see, although it did make a lot of holes in the truck and eventually caused it to go up in flames, it didn't obliterate the truck like how Rhodey did. This makes sense because he isn't only using his minigun when firing at the truck, he is also firing a couple of missiles to produce that effect. An interesting thing to note, he obliterates the truck at a quicker rate than the Thunderbolt destroyed the Taliban car.
In the video below at 4:37. You can see how War Machine deals with his targets. He doesn't just fire 7.62mm rounds, he unleashes a whole barrage of bullets including dozens of missiles in a short span of time. He destroys that outrider wheel device pretty quickly because of this.
Even prototype (Mark 1) of Ironmonger can withstand 5.52mm & 50cal that can easily penetrate armored vehicle unlike 7.62 rounds which can just damage it.
I would agree with you if Rhodey solely used 7.62mm rounds. But as established above, he uses them in addition with multiple rockets that can destroy a truck in seconds (literally) and the Outrider vehicle, I imagine the latter would be better armored at the very least compared to your standard armored military vehicle. So I don't think you can extrapolate how inefficient War Machine might've been against the MK1 armor based on this information alone. Besides, the 50. cal itself caused Tony to stagger for a bit. Although I can't say how well 50.cal would do against Iron Monger, given that it's an upgraded version of the MK1
Ironmonger can pretty one shot him before he even tries that!
Now I would agree that the type of method would make him very vulnerable compared to his ways of fighting Monger, but I don't think he'll get one shotted lol.
