America's M134 Minigun is a Beast 

If you want to shower your Enemy with Love...use the Mini Gun 😂

"I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and this [grabs Minigun] is my weapon. [lays both hands covetously on Minigun] She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. [looks intently at viewer] It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds."

In the early 70's I was a weapons mechanic in the Air Force. These were mounted in the nose of A37's. I always wanted to take one of these home. They were very simple and easy to work on.

I want a couple of these on my truck. One facing forward, one facing backwards, both on separate triggers on the steering wheel.

I understand the CyberDyne T-800 model 101 is practically unstopable when armed with the M-134 as well.

162 years later, the Gatling still lives!

I've always loved this weapon being called the "minigun". What a misnomer lmao

I'm just picturing hours and hours at the reloading bench.

"Best gun ever" - Ammo Manufacturers Assoc.

Happy 60th birthday to Minigun.

And that’s why I love miniguns

1:07 Good job, Dr. Gatling. edit: Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I loved using this in GTA

I sware every time i learn about an US weapon it's like "this weapon is several decades old and it's on its 85th variation, but it's still better than anything our enemies have, we have three million of them and five billion rounds of ammunition for it. It's planed replacement will be ready in 3050."

The M61A1 Vulcan that is installed in F15, F16, F18 is Hydraulically operated and electrically controlled 6000 rounds a minute. One of the most common mishap is failure of the Chutes.

when they mount it on the little bird you can really have some fun shooting that thing I did it before 😅

I like the hand held version that large robots carry.

Not certain. Every infantry combat scenario the M134 Minigun always wins. The M134 Minigun is so fast that the enemy would not have time to take cover they are over before they can even spit.

I think a few of us are as fast as a minigun 😅

Especially useful when you're trying to save Morpheus.

Did any of you attend the Houston Astrohall gun shows between 1987 and 1992? There was a Class III dealer who had a custom mount that held THREE MINIGUNS with one fire control system! It was quite remarkable. Only seven transferable Miniguns are on the books, and this guy had three of them. Interestingly, my friend sold one of those registered Miniguns for $50,000 at the time. The top Minigun had a different barrel group than the bottom two, but I'm not sure if that was for regulation purposes or simply what he could acquire. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to shoot it, but the concept was truly impressive. Back then, the setup was priced at $250,000, which would be considered a steal in today's market. However, as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Those were the days when you had to rely on someone's word without being able to fact-check easily. Class 3 firearms were a wild and innovative frontier, resulting in some truly remarkable creations. Looking back, it's a nostalgic and cherished memory. The guy mentioned that the Minigun had three speeds, approximately 1800, 3000, and 4800 rounds per minute. It was a different time. If you weren't alive then, it's hard to imagine the reliance we had on someone's word. Anyway, firing nearly 15,000 rounds per minute with a single trigger is bound to put a smile on the face of any red-blooded American! Thank you for joining me on this trip down memory lane. I apologize for any errors caused by my exhaustion. Best!

We could use a couple for farrel hog hunting down here in Texas.

As a former machine gunner 0331 USMC I would’ve loved to used this

Can it be upscaled to using an 105mm ammo?

I really do love the videos from this channel but one thing I want to tell the creator that he should give credits for all the clips from movies or channels❗❗❗❗

This is a weapon made for war and nothing else. It's truly an impressive piece of weaponary.

May be useful for close-in Counter-UAS, esp. with tracer.

the perfect stocking stuffer

CRUSH HIM!

Just So Everyone Is Aware, I own one of these, and another very similar, I am a resident of Florida, Note: "You Loot, We Shoot"

fire fights are so bizarre even when you think you’re winning you’re not sure… But I can promise you when someone opens up with a 50 you know you’re winning and when someone opens up with a mini gun or you get an AC 130 gunship or warthog doing its thing above you there ain’t no doubt about it..

😁I hadn’t seen some of this Dillon Aero footage I took in years. We usually shot 100% tracer, specially at sunset. The MD500F was capable of 6000 rounds a minute (dual M134s). A challenge is the CG of the 500 changing as the weapons are fired and ammo weight disappears rapidly. The Dillon’s were always great people to film with. 👍

Nice

❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍

Does anyone know if the Army (or any branch) saves the brass from these guns? I noticed that some had 'hoses' coming off the weapons and some did not. Are the hoses just to direct the spent ammo to fall out of the aircraft or are they collected and reused?

Also used for border protection, huh? Maybe in other countries but definitely not at the U.S. border. There are only 3 things guarding the U.S. border, a 'welcome mat', sandwiches, & bus passes.

I enjoyed the M21 Vulcan!

"Old painless" is pretty effective.... ...unless you fight a Yautya (also known as "Predator")

It cost $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds Edit: Thank you guys for the likes! 10 may not seem like much but for me its a new record!

M61 Vulcan and GAU-8 Avenger: "That's cute!:"

We had pairs of these mounted on pylons on our UH-!C Huey gunships. They were aimed and fired by the co-pilot. They were limited to 3 second bursts, and then you had to release the trigger to fire again. Each gun fired 2,400 rds. per min. Not my favorite weapon, as they were prone to jamming. I preferred to fly our ships that had the 40mm belt fed grenade launcher mounted on the nose.

the american dream: *MORE IS BETTER !* now they try on inflation, *MORE IS BETTER* 🤣😂

Used to go down to Eglin and get clearance to orbit a beacon to watch the Spookys out of Hurlburt train in the Eglin Ranges. Like watching a Laser Show!!! Always like flying in and out of Eglin. Of course that was then. Like every thing else...someone has to ruin it...

Good Ole AMERICAN invention !!!

เป็นกำลังใจให้อาจารย์🇺🇸🤝🌏🇹🇭♥️🙏

America loves their rotary cannons

Thanks to the inventor, Arnold Schwarzenegger could use it, in one of the most iconic scenes in the history of the cinema.

Very useful for mowing down the jungle in pursuit of a disappearing predator

You forgot to mention Puff the Magic Dragon...😎😎😎

God bless america.

God Bless Dillon

The Angry Egg with a angry weapon!😂😂

BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I want one...

Fred West was a beast too!

THATS A WEAPON! Thanks. John P.

I was reading a biography that was saying these would shake the helicopter more than the blade rotations.

"It costs 400 thousand dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds."

これで民間人はあまり撃ちたくないよな、あくまで兵士同士でやり合ってほしい

Wait, this a real weapon? I always thought it is just a funny over the top Hollywood idea that I saw in Predator and T2...😮

Ukraine need it,perfect for Drone hunting.💪👌

I want one

I want one of these! Send it to Indonesia! 😉😁

"They can defend against small boats and swimmers" , lol at this gun defending against swimmers!

(2:22) I would assume groved barrel is a no, no: with that kind of G force; & tip must slightly be more inset, for merging point to be accurate. = better 6 shots at once, likely, but slower rate of spring hammerings. 😎😎😬😬((7:06)) glow is the G force trying to take a new course./!\ Lasor temp test the mm, until highest friction point: then star regulating it down to get your lengths.?.. 🤔🤔🤞🤞Use carrier bearing like a long drive shaft: to shell in an tractors heat shield, for stability = Hass brown potato, holes will have to work on the shield as fins of a turbine. = Likely heavier then the tank version, for 1st prototype. = No shell casing and dual gears will pitch them faster, ((if you get the combo right)).

Utterly beautiful destruction to ones enemy.

would NOT want to be on the receiving end of that

made the minigun out of paper and duct tape. now i too can start my terminator arc

How much is it's appraisal value

Send it to Chicago.

Milley says they will now fire rainbow sprinkles at a fantastic rate.

it has two speed settings, shoot fast, and "ALL"

6:12 What is that?

00:03:51 Heck Yeah! Lean on that trigger!

The Minigun will make you keep your head down, that's if by the time you ducked you still had a head!! The Minigun is a small calibre motorised version of the Gatling Gun

This is an awesome weapon, Sam, I believe you meant 7.62x51mm Nato, AKA {308 Winchester}, but said 7.62x57, we will overlook that, Thank you and U.S. Military News for another cool video, Happy 4th of July! 👊😎🇺🇸

မိုက်တယ်ဟေ့

The Tarantula 🕷️in my basement doesn’t stand a chance muahaha 😈

💪🔥👌👌

damit kann jede Demo friedlich aufgelöst werden👍

Law enforcement with mini-guns? That's scary!

Arnold carried his to the office window to greet the police in T2.

what about the m134 vulcan?

nothing beat brtttttt

Test them on my neighbour. 😂😂😂

Very nice, how much?

How much is ammo for 10 seconds of firing.

Was that a southern accent i heard? around 5:41.

Огневая мощь конечно колоссальная,но патронов надо вагон и маленькую тележку с собой таскать.

Now there are door gunners with high powered lasers they can shoot at armored vehicles

Ukraine need that weapon

And this is available for civilians to buy and use?

"Popular in military and LAW ENFORCEMENT settings where intense firepower is required." Yeah, sure, its perfect for law enforcement purposes. 🚔

6:14 what helicopter/plane is this?

Law enforcement settings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what the hell they doin with a BTTTTTT

"Law enforcement settings"... Since when does law enforcement need a fkin mini gun against civilains..

Novice question: can these fire incendiary rounds?

These are a BLAST to fire! But there's nothing like the Ma Deuce!

Use once with one box of ammo and then replace all the barrels

(Casually forgets about the GAU/8)
