The system was very dependent on timing. the ammo drum in an AH-1 could carry 6000 rounds in a rotary drum which had a separate drive motor and slipper clutch drive which needed to be timed with the feeder and the Gun. If a gun system was properly timed and proper trigger control used by the flight crew it would fire days long without failure.

The first Minigun prop in the movie Predator was actually incredibly dangerous. It was just firing blanks, but it ejected the shells so hard that it kept cracking the protective Plexiglas they used in 80's. In fact one shell imbedded so deeply into the Plexiglas Jesse Ventura refused to use it any more until they could come up with a safer system. So eventually back in LA the studio's armors came up with a new mock up. This new prop ejected the shells slow enough they no longer were a threat. That gun would later be used for decades after in many many movies.

We used the humvee as cover and our Minigun was fine I didnt have any ear protection and let me tell yea. This thing has a very distinct sound when firing it sounds like a Very loud and distorted sweeper and the rounds eject so quickly the chimes of the casings hitting create almost like a musical chime lol. As a E5 Grenadier I can say this thing is a beast and can cut anyone in half who is unfortunate enough to be in its line of fire. If you switch out its ammo to explosive rounds it can do more then cut people in half. Always loved the M134. Its just heavy af when dismounting it and having to move it.

WWI era cloth belt fed machineguns would extract the round to the rear before feeding them forward into the breach.

FPSRussia would have loaded the truck full of tannerite and used the minigun to to shoot incendiary or tracer bullets at it. Iraq Veteran would have done a mud test on the minigun and shoehorned a 10/22 into the video. Alex from TFB would have somehow attempted to do a run-and-gun with the minigun. Hickock45 would have used the minigun to destroy 2-liter bottles.

The 20mm is called the M61 Vulcan and has been the gun mounted to just about every US fighter since the 1950s. There's also an even bigger 30mm version called the GAU-8 Avenger which has a plane called the A-10 Thunderbolt II (AKA Warthog) built around it.

The operation of the delinker seems to me to be very precise and smooth, this makes the Minigun fast and deadly, it doesn't even have crosshairs, it must waste a lot of ammunition if it gets stuck if misused... , it's difficult to reload, it's not perfect, but it's impressive, great video!

Thank you so much for the video All I can say is O.M.G.!!!!

I can tell you one thing the more you use it the more you're going to understand where the rounds are going to go. A buddy of mine he's an older general than me and he used to be a minigun Gunner out of a helicopter he told me at the beginning he had no clue where the rounds were going to go but the more you use it the more you're going to understand where the rounds are going to go it's almost like a sixth sense just like anything if you get comfortable enough with it it acts like just another arm or appendage from you. So the more you use that gun the more accurate you're going to get with it

"But being this is a .44 Magnum, while not the, (strictly speaking) most powerful handgun in the world, there are single shot Thomson Contenders chambered in 45-70 government, the .454 Casull has been developed as a wildcat cartridge by Dick Casull since 1957, but putting those examples aside, and regardless, .44 magnum at this range is more than sufficient to blow your head clean off,.. luck doesnt factor into it, I was counting my rounds, but I doubt very much you were.....punk." something like that.

There’s enough of that garbage elsewhere and it’s why I don’t care for a lot of gun KZreadrs. There’s a time and a place for politics, but in my spare time I just want to sit and enjoy seeing a bunch of cool guns I’ve never heard of (obviously that last sentiment doesn’t have much to do with this video, I was well aware what a mini gun was before clicking on this video lol)
