RPS??? You mean RPM, right?

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.

Why does this remind me of Steroid from Jagged Alliance 2?


EDIT:
You info is probably old. The minigun you mentioned is not the only one... I remember seeing at least 4 of them in a military magazine. Anyway, you CAN'T beat a minigun....NEVAR;7

Don't belive me... well, how about this:
Russian GŠP-23,  30mm ammo, 24000 buttets per minute!!!!!!


IT'S TRUE!!!!!

Sandwich: Yeah, I read it wrong. Still excessive.

Anyway, some of the caseless weapons approach 10,000 per second, so it didn't sound all that unlikely to me.

And how can I tell how a real minigun's gonna look? Going by the movie and game ****, it looks ineffective as all hell. You'd be lucky to get your fire as close as at a 45* angle to your target.

Hm Ok. There is a store here where I can buy a cardboard model of something like that. Shouldn't be too expensive.

What kind of minigun is: The page can not be displayed?

[Stryke 9]

The kind that's computer-freezingly good, apparently.


Damn Winamp.

Eh? Who are you trying to kid? They work on the bycicle wheel principal (gyroscopic force) - once you start them a-spinning, you'd be lucky to get them to point anywhere else.

I think...

MOVIES???

Unrealisam on a GRAND scale!!!!
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...)

Then watch other movies..like XXX(minigun fires slower than a sligshot).....REALISM.....HA:lol:

[Nico]

yup, the minigun I saw looked almost exactly like the T2 one.
But I challenge ANYBODY to find any pic of a dude using or even carrying a REAL minigun

[Tiara]

I'll do you one better Here's a movie of a guy using a minigun

Gun type: GE Minigun M134 , 7.62x51mm NATO

[TrashMan]

No amount of jumping, running or dogging will save you if you find yourself in front of a minigun. It's like trying to dodge raindrops during a storm!

[diamondgeezer]

I'll call it... a minigun...

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Minigun?

HAH! I scoff at the minigun!

What we need is an XM-214!

It's off the minigun/gatling ilk, 5.56mm, and can fire between 400 and 10,000 rpm!

[Tiara]

XM-214

[Petrarch of the VBB]

You're the only female I know of with such an interest in weapons.

I know that this will be turned into a filthy joke. I just know it!
