I think I'm the only person in the entire world who does it, but I like cheeseburgers. If I'm going for a snack, that's a single cheeseburger; if I'm going for a fuller meal, maybe three or four of em. :thepimp:

no need to "eat" the bullet, then, as you say :p:

since what everybody knows about hand-held miniguns comes from games or movies, let me introduce you to the only real one ever made, copied from don't remember where:

"The XM214 5.56mm Machine Gun was a terminated Research and Development project (1970-1971) for a six-barrel 5.56mm (.223 Cal.) Gatling type "mini-minigun". The XM214 was similar to the M134 "minigun" by General Electric Company (the same gun as the Air Force GAU-2B/A). It was electrically driven and could be installed on a pintle or in a turret mount. It was shown in a man-portable version in the movie Predator (1987) and in Jane's Weapon Systems of the same year there was an entry detailing the XM214. It had been tested by the Special Forces but rejected due to impractical weight. Availability today is extremely rare at best.
The weight of 45 lbs. is for the gun, motor, battery (good for 5,000 shots) and 500 shots. The gun, motor and battery weigh 15kg (33 lbs.). A tripod would weigh another 15 lbs. One 500-round "cassette" weighs 14 lbs. The cassettes may be worn in a special harness ( 5 lbs.) on the back of the gunner and are linked through a rugged flexible chute to the gun. Two cassettes can clamp to the gun (or to the harness) at once, and it automatically switches when the first cassette is empty.

RoF can be set between 3-round bursts or 10,000 rounds per minute. Unfortunately the recoil force is 110kg (242 lbs.) at 10,000 rpm which would knock you off your feet, but (assuming a linear relationship) if the RoF were 1,000 rpm then the recoil should be only 11kg (24 lbs.) which might be manageable. "

I let you do the maths ( 11kg, manageable, yeah, right, add that too the original weight of the weapon, plus the fact it's 11kg per bullet :P ), but to sum up -> grab the weapon somehow, put your back against a wall, press the trigger. Hop! you're crushed and well dead :D

Post by: Stryke 9 on April 10, 2003, 04:52:25 pm: Venom: From 242 pounds? Not if you were born on this planet. That's slightly more than having your fat cousin sit on you in a fight, if your fat cousin is sitting on a piece of metal roughly the size of a hardback book- uncomfortable (bruises, maybe a cracked rib due to the gun jumping around, enough that you won't be begging for a repeat experience) and you wouldn't be able to aim (as in the thing flies out of your hands a tenth of a second after you pull the trigger and probably puts a couple hundred rounds up your left nostril before it stops firing), sure, but you're far from dead.\

Anyway, nowhere near as much fun as a sniper rifle or rocket-propelled grenade launcher, in a game or in life.

What would you need 10,000 rps for, anyway? Lead plating? 300's plenty. Hell, I'd settle for 8. Enough to give everything I point it at an unhealthy dosage of metal, but not run out and be defenseless after 5 seconds or lose control of the weapon.

:eek2: :wtf: :eek2: RPS??? You mean RPM, right? :p

And you forget that the recoil on something like that goes to you via your arms - I doubt it directly rests against any part of one's body.

Watch Predator, Terminator 2 & Black Hawk Down..... - now there the minigun is portraited right (aside from the fact that the Predator escapes it's fire - but then again, the movie would be boring if it died in the very begining...)

If they manage to get it to work, and don't electrocute themselves, they'll just toast it on their first run and then feel like crap 'cos they wasted countless hours of their time on one little shot barely as impressive as if they just hauled out with a rifle.

And the Metal Storm caseless guns look like fun, but I don't expect to see them in shops soon or ever buy/make a caseless, seeing as they must take ****ing HOURS to reload. Drop in bullet, pack in explosive. Repeat 400 times. Serves 1/4 second of joyous destruction.

You don't have to belive me (I couldn't care less), but up to a while ago, it WAS on their weapons list....
Now it is no more.....

MMMMM.....Hummer+minigun=:D :mad2: :devil:

Weight of a minigun? Kick you back? Oh an interesting thought. I always thought gravity pulls things down. :rolleyes:

Post by: tEAbAG on April 18, 2003, 01:17:51 pm: yeah. You see there whas this guy named newton and he said, get this, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". Thousands of 5.56 millimeter bullets comming out of a gun sounds like a hell of a lot of action to me and the weight only makes things worse. Have you ever shot a gun before?

Edit: Opps. I think I ment to say 'and' instead of 'from'

Post by: diamondgeezer on April 18, 2003, 06:07:51 pm: Razor --> read 'weight' as 'mass'. Gravity does not 'pull things down'. Larn yourself some physics before lecturing. This has not been a 'flame'.

How to Annoy Northeners....
Submitted by Dave Singer

1. Take your own sweet time when doing ANYTHING. Well yall should always take time to smell the roses ya know.
2. Pronounce all one-syllable words with two.
3. When giving directions, finish with "it's right down yonder on the left." Confuses the heck out of 'em. Humm I thought it was on the right down yonder.
4. Talk REAL slow, and ask them to speak more slowly so you can understand what they're saying. Well if the truth be known I do have southen ears and they really dont hear too fast.
5. When they talk nostalgically about the North, tell 'em "Delta's ready when you are!" It sho nuff is Sweety.
6. Talk loudly and often about SEC football or ACC basketball. We all know them Gators are the best.
7. Refer to every soft drink as a Coke.You mean there is another name for them??? I know Yall gotta be pullen my little ole lag.
8. Always order sweet tea and/or grits. When they don't have it, raise a ruckus. What Yall mean Yall aint got no grits?? How am I supose to eat these here ags???
9. Offer to send 'em a bottle of fresh air. Now Yall know there aint nuten better than the sweet smell of jasmin so a soft southern breeze??
10. Insist on being addressed by your first AND middle names. (e.g. Lisa Marie -- John Michael -- Jim Bob. . .) Yep and Yall can jest call me TT fer short.
11. Frequently bring up "The War of Northern Aggression"in conversation. If anyone ever says the words "Civil War", always interject that "there was nothing civil about it." Well Mr Butler was kinda civil.
12. Address all males as "son" and females as "little lady". I usually call all males Sugar and all females Honey.
13. Correct their pronunciation of certain words. For example: It's Pahkahn" not "Pee-can". And will Yall ever learn its Yall not Ewens????
14. Put Tabasco on everything. Its really yummy on ice cream.
15. For New York Yankees: Act as if the whole state of New York is New York City. In other words, if they say"Yo, I'm from upstate New Yoik!", say , "Well I'll be, my wife has always wanted to see a Broadway show!" Are you trying to tell me it isnt one big ole place??
16. When invited to dinner, offer to bring dessert. Show up with a box of Moon Pies. . .preferably the banana ones. mmm Yummy yummy.
17. Name all of your children "Bubba". I got 3 of them named Bubba.... Makes for easier callen em fur supper that way.
18. Use the word "reckon" in a sentence and watch their reaction. I reckon I will work in the yard some more today since it will be in the high 70s here.
19. "Mash" buttons. "Cut" off lights. "Carry" the kids to school. Some times I tote em too.
20. Never simply "do" something. Be "fixin to do" something. Well I am fixen to go get more sweet tea. Anybody want some while Im out there?
21. Tell them you don't have an accent,they do. What accent? We all know Yall Yankees have the cutest little accents. I jest love to hear Yall talk. Well when you do it slow eonugh for me to hear it that is.
22. Be sure to include "yes/no ma'am/sir" in all conversations.. Offends the heck out of 'em. Yes Sir Gotta respest your elders.
23. Only use landmarks and ramble on when giving directions. "Now go down Jeff Davis Highway and turn left at where the Chevron station used to be. I think they turned it into a Amoco. Or maybe a BP. Anyway, turn right there..." "You said left." "Did I? Well,turn left there and follow it until you see a big fish on your left. I remember when that fish used to be on the other side of town.." No Yall got that all wrong. Its down by the Texco Turn rite there Which way?? Well Sugar it depends on which way yall be commin from.
24. Ask them if it's still snowing up North. Then tell 'em you went driving around in your convertible this weekend Well is it and yes I did. All week as a matter of fact.

RULES IN THE SOUTH
Submitted by Dave Singer

1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
2. If you forget a Southerner's name, refer to him (or her) as "Bubba". You have a 75% chance of being right.
3. Just because you can't drive on snow and ice does not mean we can stay home the two days of the year it snows.
4. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
5. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.
6. Do not buy food at the movie store.
7. If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking, let alone eating.
8. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.
9. There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern accent, unless it is a southerner imitating a Boston accent.
10. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
11. People walk slower here.
12. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either.
13. The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "Big ol'", as in "big ol' truck" or "big ol' boy". Eighty-five percent begin their new Southern influenced dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are in denial about it.
14. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
15. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.
16. If attending a funeral in the South, remember, we stay until the last shovel of dirt is thrown on and the tent is torn down.
17. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say.
18. Most Southerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was on when the car was purchased.
19. Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers.
20. The winter wardrobe you always brought out in September can wait until November.
21. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the most minuscule accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It does not matter if you need anything from the store, it is just something you're supposed to do.
22. Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you purchase one it is to be positioned directly in front of your trailer. This is logical bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the trailer and should, therefore, be displayed.
23. Tornadoes and Southerners going through a divorce have a lot in common. In either case, you know someone is going to lose a trailer.
24. Florida is not considered a southern state. There are far more Yankees than Southerners living there.[/q]

Rule #24 just about explains me, though. I may detest Florida, but it's where I grew up. :p

Post by: Stryke 9 on April 20, 2003, 04:14:06 am: The freaky thing is how many of those southerner jokes are true. I've never used bacon grease for anything and at the rate cops around here kill people for minor violations I doubt anyone's willing to try killing someone because it seemed the thing to do, but other than that...

I detest Florida, too, but for entirely different reasons.

Remember, kiddies, Bush v. Gore is NOT a legal precedent that applies to any other cases! The U.S. Supreme Court said so! :rolleyes:

My apologies to all peeps reading this crack about Florida and Bush v. Gore, but being a compulsive, manic-depressive law student diagnosed with a severe case of senioritis, I felt compelled to stick that wisecrack in here.

Bt the way, for those of you who don't know what senioritis is, it's an affliction that affects all students on the cusp of graduating, regardless of whether it is from high school, college or (God save us) law school. Since I only have three weeks until I graduate from law school (God willing), I was just diagnosed with "senioritis up the wahzoo," a particularly nasty strain of senioritis that is only found in graduate school students. Fortunately, this strain of senioritis is not virulent and only affects graduate students. Its only symptoms are increased bitterness and cynicism, irritability and ulcers. Fortunately for me, I already had those symptoms once I began law school, so I feel the same as always. You can't even tell I'm sick.

Peeps, you may now resume your regular posting.
