The not-so-mini, M134 Mini Gun

#shorts With an impressive legacy of roughly 60 years of service, the M134 Minigun was created in 60s for use by the US military in Vietnam.

I love how Arnie was legit holding a blank firing mod plus ammo just casually like a weedwacker… took like 2-3 dudes to carry it on set, ya know the vehicle mounted chain gun

Whats amazing is the same company that makes laundry machines, ovens, and toasters made that beautiful thing

All I heard was that the more rounds I put on target, the lighter it becomes!

Full Send.

As a former AH-1 weapons tech, the minigun is amazingly destructive. At its max firing rate of 4k rounds a minute, ~66 rounds a second are leaving the barrels. Nighttime gunneries were the best time to see these weapons in action. The tracer rounds mixed with the destructive firing rate made it look like laser whipping through the darkness.

It's called a minigun because it is a scaled down version of General Electric 20 mm Cannon for aircraft. Chambered in the Beautiful 762x51.

That's my EDC weapon for home defense.

The feel you must receive when your firing it at a group of bougys.

One of these were used on a cartel bust, some of them were turned into swiss

Damn I guess general electrics knew what they were doing when they were making washing machines

I was working in the mountains of the Mojave Desert near the Desert Waefare Training Center. The A-10s would fly up the valleys lower than me with their Gatling guns blazing. Wooop! Wooop! Yeah, just like de good Lawd said: "tis better to give than to receive."

I loved working on the Cobra and Huey. Shooting the mini is an experience that’s hard to beat in regards to firearms

Every home owner needs one for protection.

4-6000 rpm, every 7th round is a tracer and it still looks like a laser. That’s 67-100 rounds a second it’s shooting.

[patricknesbit]

That's alot of freedom seeds being planted all at once. Love the sound.

[sydmillertek]

Or as it's called in Predator, "Ol' painless"

[eaglevision]

Just imagine the advancements they’ve made with bombs, over the last 77 years.

Armor it, make it guided and autonomous and put it on the Abrams as a close in weapon system.
