Known as the minigun this was the primary weapon for helicpter gun ships in Vietnam. driven by a 28 volt motor, this 7.62 mm gun had an adjustable rate of fire of 300 - 6000 rounds per minute. Its ammo box contained 1200 cartridges.
Have you seen the film "predator" one of the guy's uses this as a hand held weapon.
if he tried to fire from the shoulder, the recoil would put him on his back.
also this thing needs a 24v system to operate it, where in the jungle do you plug it in LOL
