TL;DR the alien tech makes the gunpods capable of firing rounds at almost railgun-like velocity so lower estimates for the 55mm gunpod round put it at maybe 24 times the amount of energy as the real life 30mm round from the A-10' gatling cannon
for comparison an M1 tank gun M829 sabot round is around 13 megajoules of energy, compared to the theoretical 4.8 megajoules for each 55mm gunpod round

only later model VF gunpods get a reload feature, definitely not for the VF-1 gunpod
