The C-130 Hercules is a versatile military transport aircraft used by the United States Air Force (USAF) and several other nations. While it is primarily designed for cargo and troop transport, there have been modified versions of the C-130 equipped with various weapon systems, including guns.

One notable example is the AC-130 gunship variant, which is derived from the C-130 Hercules. The AC-130 is equipped with a range of heavy weapons, including cannons, howitzers, and Gatling guns. These weapons are mounted on the side of the aircraft and can provide close air support and firepower for ground operations.

The AC-130 gunship has been used by the USAF in various conflicts, such as the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its ability to loiter over a target area for extended periods of time and deliver precise firepower has made it a valuable asset in ground support missions.

Please note that specific details regarding the capabilities and armament of the C-130 gunship variants may have changed since my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.
