Coooooooooool! That was an awesome video.

Chaingunner · June 29, 2006, 11:19 PM

weapon in question is the 7.62mm M134/Mk44/GAU17. There's one for sale (although if the pictures are any indication, it does NOT come with the magazine, stand, battery, cables, or hand grips) on impactguns.com for about 400K. here's a link: http://www.impactguns.com/store/product6216.html

Enjoy drooling.

Maser · June 30, 2006, 02:40 AM

And I thought I was fast at firing my 10/22.

The minigun that my uncle built is a 5.56mm version and it fires 6,000-10,000 RPM. I want to shoot that bad boy again so badly.

Heist · July 5, 2006, 01:15 PM

Maser, is that the uncle with the "military surplus m4s" that he let you fire?

Maser · July 6, 2006, 01:46 PM

Yup, that would be him. I only have one family member with class 3 status.

I'm a very lucky nephew.

Brian Williams · July 6, 2006, 02:02 PM

You have to get us some pictures of that 223 minigun.

Maser · July 6, 2006, 02:13 PM

I have a video of me shooting it as well as many other cool guns that all shooters dream about shooting. It's on a VHS-C tape and I don't know how to convert it to digital. Wish I did because you would love my facial expression when I was shooting only a 100 round belt. Was gone in the blink of an eye.

Heist · July 6, 2006, 03:25 PM

Tell me more about these "military surplus M4s"..

Heist · July 8, 2006, 01:50 PM

Still there, Maser?

Maser · July 8, 2006, 07:07 PM

Nope, i'm not here. You will never know about the M4s because it's a government classified thing. If I were to tell you then I would have to be shot. Would you want that to happen to me?

Chaingunner · July 9, 2006, 12:18 AM

...Riiiight.

Hedley · July 10, 2006, 04:02 PM

Is that an AC Delco starter motor?

Heist · July 11, 2006, 01:52 AM

Oh, come on. At least tell me the name of your uncle so that I can send MY uncle to him. My uncle in San Diego (Shuckatelli if you have heard that name- very famous in the firearms circuit when it comes to hard to find weaponry and interesting deals) has around 30k burning a hole in his pocket and would love to check out some M4s. You can PM me if you don't want it to be public, or I can give you contact info for you to give to the uncle.

Heist · July 15, 2006, 10:57 AM

Still no PM from Maser. My uncle is really anxious to check out the m4s...

Maser · July 15, 2006, 04:51 PM

Seriously Heist, get a life. Don't flame me in public forums because you will always lose.

Do you think i'm actually going to post my uncles name? Yeah right.

Heist · July 15, 2006, 09:00 PM

Whoa bubba, what's with the personal attacks? It's not like I'm saying anything like "there is no such thing as a military surplus M4 therefore you are either a pathological liar or your uncle is doing something very illegal", I'm just helpfully asking questions.

Maser · July 15, 2006, 11:23 PM

Personal attacks? Where? Take the sarcasm out of your posts and maybe you will get a serious answer from me. Until then take this personal matter up with me in a PM and don't dump garbage into a public forum.

Now back on topic. Does anyone know where I can see a video of a 30mm minigun being fired? That would be pretty awsome.

No such thing as a 30mm MINIgun. There's a 30mm GAU8 mounted in the nose of an A-10.
The 7.62mm and 5.56mm versions are referred to as miniguns because they are miniature versions of the original 20mm Vulcan cannon.

Maser · July 16, 2006, 01:10 AM

Yeah I was meaning a vulcan cannon. I was looking at a minigun site and they listed the different calibers and barrels and rate of fire and I remember seeing it in 30mm. I still would love to see a video of it.

still 2 many choices · July 23, 2006, 03:18 PM

More stuff I'll never get to play with

......

! I thought the Apache had a 30 mm Chain gun in the nose? Could be a 20mm though?

Still 2 Many Choices!?

Dave Haven · July 23, 2006, 11:22 PM

The Chain Gun is also made in 25mm.

Chaingunner · July 24, 2006, 12:02 AM

now you guys are talking about two completely different weapons..!

Chaingun: a single barrelled weapon, whose bolt carrier is propelled by what looks like a huge bicycle chain, ala the M242/Mk38Mod1 (that's my baby!)

Mini/Gatling/Vulcan: usually 6 barrels, usually powered electrically, ala the GAU17, Mk15 CIWS, etc

They started, I didn't.

One of my friends - The late, great Sam May of APEX Rifle Company worked with Hughes Aircraft on the development of the Chain Gun. He once showed me a placque they gave him in recognition of his contribution to the project.
He made hundreds of 25mm and 30mm barrels for them.
Honestly, I've never heard of a 20mm Chain Gun.
In reply to Maser's question, here's a link to a video of an A10 and its GAU8 7-barrel electric Gatling gun... http://www.compfused.com/directlink/741/
