Screw the mini-guns, rail-guns and all that tiny crap.

Gota get me one of these:

Go Isreal by the way, they're never afraid to get the job done.

Fact 1 - that 1000000 bullets weapon is just too excessive and expensive...I mean, if you can't blow something up with a minigun, you wont with that eather ....
NOTE: Miniguns can allso use caseless ammo

And a minigun is much more practical.... easier to reload (hook up another chain of bullets), costs less, uses less ammo and can stll wipe out half a division..  And it looks damn cool...

And we were talking about HAND-HELD weapons.

yup, in his hands, sandwhich's right.

No he said or. Thus he has to use it or carry it. Not both

he? oheh, Tiara, the "he is me, in case you didn't notice.
and stop that, you know quite well what I mean

I'm always right - unless I say otherwise.

And there's nothing spectacular about either using or holding a minigun - it's the "using while holding" thing that's unlikely.

true, but I've never seen any of the possibilities in real life

the actual minigun (old painless from predator if you want a reference) was actually used as an infantry weapon in vietnam, it required 2 people to operate, one holding the ammo etc, and the other holding the actual gun, it was because of the gun's weight and it's need to be reloaded quickly that limits it combat effectiveness which is somewhat unfortunate..

Dude, if you want to look at the damn thing, then watch Predator at the part where Jessie Ventura is mowing down those peeps at that camp.

You really need to get out more. Fresh air really does wounders.

I believe the Marines or Spec ops (can't remember which) took a liking to the minigun in Predator, and tried to make a real world equivalent. However, they found out it was too impractical because of the constant recoil, power requirements (the thing in the movie needed truck batteries or something) and weight considerations.

[tEAbAG]

'Twas da Marines.  They found the minigun was completly unworkable as a infantry weapon.  I weighed too damn much, ate up way more ammo than could realisticly be brought by an infantryman, and was next to impossable to aim on a set up that could be carried into combat.  It was most definently never used in combat as a man portable system.

[RangerKarl]

It's always the Marines, isn't it?

Hey, well done. You're getting the hang of this flaming buisness, aren't you? Do me a favour, though - either stop the linking to pages at the dictionary website as you seem so fond of doing, or shore up your own dodgy spelling. Ta.

Sorry to disapoint you, but predators and cloaking systems don't exist either.

[Turnsky]

are you sure about that? :wink: *watches the jungle move, as if it's alive*

"predators and cloaking systems don't exist either"

they... they.. they, don't...
