GE doesn't make either of those now.

GE made the original GAU-8s, but GE sold that part of the company to Martin Marietta in 1993. Martin Marietta was bought by Lockheed in 1995 to from Lockheed Martin, and then Lockheed Martin sold it General Dynamics 1997.

Similarly GE once made washing machines, but the appliances part of GE was sold to Haier in 2016.
