    Did any of you attend the Houston Astrohall gun shows between 1987 and 1992? There was a Class III dealer who had a custom mount that held THREE MINIGUNS with one fire control system! It was quite remarkable. Only seven transferable Miniguns are on the books, and this guy had three of them. Interestingly, my friend sold one of those registered Miniguns for $50,000 at the time. The top Minigun had a different barrel group than the bottom two, but I'm not sure if that was for regulation purposes or simply what he could acquire. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to shoot it, but the concept was truly impressive. Back then, the setup was priced at $250,000, which would be considered a steal in today's market. However, as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Those were the days when you had to rely on someone's word without being able to fact-check easily. Class 3 firearms were a wild and innovative frontier, resulting in some truly remarkable creations. Looking back, it's a nostalgic and cherished memory. The guy mentioned that the Minigun had three speeds, approximately 1800, 3000, and 4800 rounds per minute. It was a different time. If you weren't alive then, it's hard to imagine the reliance we had on someone's word. Anyway, firing nearly 15,000 rounds per minute with a single trigger is bound to put a smile on the face of any red-blooded American! Thank you for joining me on this trip down memory lane. I apologize for any errors caused by my exhaustion. Best!

    😁I hadn’t seen some of this Dillon Aero footage I took in years. We usually shot 100% tracer, specially at sunset. The MD500F was capable of 6000 rounds a minute (dual M134s). A challenge is the CG of the 500 changing as the weapons are fired and ammo weight disappears rapidly. The Dillon’s were always great people to film with. 👍

    We had pairs of these mounted on pylons on our UH-!C Huey gunships. They were aimed and fired by the co-pilot. They were limited to 3 second bursts, and then you had to release the trigger to fire again. Each gun fired 2,400 rds. per min. Not my favorite weapon, as they were prone to jamming. I preferred to fly our ships that had the 40mm belt fed grenade launcher mounted on the nose.

    Used them on UH1-H aka Huey II, Dillon fixed the jamming issue and reworked the GCU, they simplified the feeder/delinker and it only had one button for timing as opposed to the old one and the GCU limited the rate of fire to 3000 rounds per minute. Only failures i had was due to faulty ammo (foreign made) could only use U.S. made for combat because it didn't fail.

    Does anyone know if the Army (or any branch) saves the brass from these guns? I noticed that some had 'hoses' coming off the weapons and some did not. Are the hoses just to direct the spent ammo to fall out of the aircraft or are they collected and reused?

    It’s probably not worth it for the US Army to save the spent casings. Think about it; sure would might save some brass, but the effort to install catching pouch/boxes (which takes up precious space), and hauling them back to the facility would outweigh the benefits. It still depends on the situations, however. In my time in the Thai Army, we were instructed to keep the casing spent in the range. This is because our supply line is much shorter so it doesn’t make a lot of logistical burden (and also saves a lot money on brass). That’s why some miniguns in the video have the catch and some not, as their region dictate if it’s viable to save the casing or not
