This is a video about an interesting machine. It's not about politics, so please don't go there. The night time video with the tracer rounds shows clearly the power of these machines. Not every round is a tracer round - maybe only every 10th round.
The most favorite weapon we had in 'Nam was the AC-47 Spooky - 'member that one Kavika? At that time, it had the most powerful and up-to-date armament in the world and when it was on scene - the heavens opened and the earth trembled.
M134D Minigun for sale!No, not some airsoft or paintball replica, I'm talking about the real deal. For a mere $239,000 you can own a live firing M134D Minigun via this webisite: www.urban-armory.com/cart/proddetail.php?prod=91 And to keep your expensive boy toy chewing away $900 worth of ammunition a second, you'll need the occasional replacement part from this site: www.cranetechnologiesinc.com/Miniguns.html Once I'm rich, and assuming no nuclear weapons are available for less, that bitch is mine
It is a six barreled, electrically driven machine gun chambered in 7.62mm NATO and fires at a fixed rate of 3,000 shots per minute. Gatling Guns typically feed from a 3,000 or 4,000 round magazine. They are capable of long periods of continuous fire without threat or damage to the weapon...
I would have immensely enjoyed going along for the ride in the chopper. What fun.

C 130's fly in and out of Kirtland AFB for maintenance. Big and very slow. It's a wonder they can fly at all.
Hahaha!!! What can you mount it to? I'm thinking my car wouldn't be quite large enough to become a platform for this gun...
