Minigun in slow motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeyVr…
The General Electric M134 “Minigun” is essentially an electrically-powered Gatling gun – the conceptual operation of the gun is identical to Dr. Gatling’s original creation. What has changed, however, is the chambering (it’s in 7.62 NATO), the power source (an electric motor), and the feed mechanism (belt-feed using M60 links instead of the Gatling’s Accles, Broadwell, or Bruce feeds). The weapon was a scaled down version of a 20mm rotary powered cannon devised for aircraft armament after WW2, hence the “mini” name. It was used primarily as helicopter armament, although it has found its way only ground vehicles as well. Firing between 3000 and 6000 rounds per minute, the Minigun is ideal for aerial engagements where the gunner only has a brief moment on target and needs to fire as much as possible during that moment.
It is a truly awe-inspiring weapon, and quite an experience to fire! In addition to destroying a truck with it, we will look at disassembly and functioning of the minigun – the delinking mechanism is really the most complex part of the weapon, and a very interesting device.
I want to build a 9 barreled 12 gauge Gatling gun
And mount that sucker in the middle of my living room pointed at the front door !
Visits by appointment only
LMAO………..like Henry says ‘fortify your home’
That is one bad ass gun.
I guess there is no chance Santa would bring a fella one of those for Christmas, no matter how good of boy he has been. 🙂
Henry……
You wouldn’t know what to do with that much firepower between your legs.
I guess you’d have to make some room.
But….
I do see potential here for a couple of sponsors.

Chevy Trucks : “Built Ford Tough”.
and
also brought you by:
GE “We bring Good Things To Light”.
I’m taking life to serious today…..
I gotta get back to the jokes.
and hit this bowl.
“You wouldn’t know what to do with that much firepower between your legs.”
I wouldn’t know what NOT to do with it. 🙂
YOU DRIVE, I’LL SHOOT….
Hey K…..
Now that I’m feeling better.
I think Santa’s gonna get me one of these for Christmas.

Believe it or not it’s actually for functional purposes.
Next time I get snow plowed in……. with 3′ of hard frozen ice chunks.
I’ll just burn my way out.
No joking….. I’m dead serious.
HOPE YOU GOT FLOOD INSURANCE….. OR YOUVE BUILT ON THE TOP OF THE HILL…..
LMAO!!!
I’m just about at 6114′ up hill tucked up hill in a Canyon. 5500′ or so…
Just before the pass.
1/4 mile to the county road… which I will burn my way to my front gate.
Then proceed to burn my way 4 miles up to the freeway. Flooding isn’t an issue. I’m sure I can carry enough fuel in the back of the truck to burn my way to safety in 6′ of snow with chains on etc….
I promise not to burn myself….
That would really suck.
Then freeze to death….burning to death.
I think I’ll read the instructions….
I’m sure it says don’t put extra fuel in your truck with big red letters and try to burn your way out of a climate change snow storm.
“READ THE INSTRUCTIONS”. UNLESS THEYRE WRITTEN IN CHINKY LANGUAGE…. IN THAT CASE, YOULL JUST HAVE TO PULL THE AMERICAN SMARTS OUT OF YER POCKET AND “FIDDLE WITH IT”.
I soooo want one of those
