My favorite part is how the "sights" amount to "general area you wish to become riddled with airborne hazards" ...As it should be. Precision marksmanship is for the man who doesn't have 200 rounds to burn.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD The gun would be mounted to a bench or tripod. The shooter is sitting in a chair, feet operating bicycle pedals. There was a RU-vid video of this set up operating a Tippmann 9mm Gatlin Gun.
That is the most anachronistic thing I've ever seen. Modern minigun formfactor and 3D printed material and manufacturing... powered by a hand crank just like the original Gatling gun. I love it.
Look at the end of the video, there is your path to find the artist. Files aren't uploaded yet but when they are just follow the instructions@@virgiljohnson4260
@@DerUberSterna 12 year old could figure out how to make this thing run at a impressive rpm if they can connect 2 of their brain cells together. Haha!
@@bertroost1675 gatlings are mag fed. some use metallic cartridges, others use chambers that are pre loaded with black powder, a ball and cap. gatling mags only held 20 rounds and were essentially gravity fed. though the broadwell drum did have springs or weights to assist the stack in moving down into the gun.
Was hoping to see the 22lr version by now. The makers had the chute on display at a Small Arms Review Show out here in Phx, Az, some time back. Still have a few stills of other parts.
Awesome. I'm an industrial engineer in the firearms industry. I have a little experience with this type of gatling gun. I'm suprised not to see the elliptical cam track in the receiver. This is where the metal bolts ride. The all important feed sprockets are in absence too. I'm 100% certain this is not a firing prototype. Nonetheless, awesome, and great video.
I went the the X account. There was this video and a link to 50mb .zip file with no supporting documentation. I did not download the file for obvious reasons.
Damnnnnit! Something else now that I need to buy, learn to use, and then build!!!!!! Sweet looking lil minigun, will need to buy a printer and learn how to use it now….
Buy one as soon as it becomes available. The beauracracy works slowly but, even so, within a fairly short period of time the suits at a ceratain four-letter government agency [or is it five?] will stop all sales of this thing. The Second Amendment was written with the primary goal of keeping government at all levels honest. This weapon is a perfect adaptation of the 2A to the modern world but oh, no, we can't have that!
On the serious side. Make as much as possible out of plastic or Aluminium. So it is as light as possible for Special Forces or with an electric drill gun for use by a drone unit. Tracked or wheeled.
@InternetArbiter I'm sure the best setup is to build a unit which has a motor (Redstone of course) and have it rigged up to a button (in minecraft of course) for the best aesthetics and ease of use.
Super cool, but let’s be honest folks. I’m pretty sure every one of these will eventually have a power drill hanging off the side😂 and also is there any chance we could get a hopper fed 22lr? I’m asking for a friend.
You can't add a drill to it without upsetting AFT, but what if the crank wound a big clock spring? Then you could fire just by depressing the triggers.
As long as you rigged a disconnector to the trigger mechanism so it only fires once per trigger pull you’d be ok legally with your clock spring idea as it would only be a semi auto. The reason gatlings are considered semi auto is you have to continually turn the crank by hand and that counts as multiple actions or trigger pulls.
@@stormy0307 if someone were to add a motor but also rig the motion to a cam and gearbox-connected-fleshlight do you think they could convince the ATF that its a sextoy? ^_^ that way you can blow while you blow ya know? :D
So you could connect it to a motor assuming it was setup like a e-bike, where you would have a higher gear ratio on the crank and for every newton meter of force you turned the motor would multiply it by some amount? @@stormy0307
I came here to this vid cause YT algo put it in my feed... -me thinking "hey that's a dope looking nerf blaster!" -see's spent brass... -"Wait a minute!!!"
As a person who really loves, mechanical engineering videos and have a solid appreciation for cinematic quality, the lighting, shadows, movement all tickles my brain with dopamine. Especially that camera inside the barrel rotation shot at @2:34... This solidly reminds me of Dupont's Art of Fire video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DXA3gRWCGB8.html Great work!
I'm trying to imagine describing this to myself from 20 years ago. The whole experience of being recommended a video about a 3D printed minigun, on RU-vid, by an AI algorithm. RU-vid being owned by Google, which is now one of the world's highest valued corporations, along with Facebook, Amazon, Nvidia, and Telsa. 3D printing being accessible to hobbyists. Having to get the files from LBRY/Odysee, because RU-vid/Google aggressively censors legal, non-pornographic content. Wondering if my comment is going to get shadow banned by the algorithms. LBRY/Odysee using blockchain technology. Blockchain having been developed for cryptocurrency, by unknown entities, to facilitate exchange of wealth without trusted third parties, secure from hostile governments and corporations.
Maybe you mean manufacturing costs? It would certainly incur more “development costs” (engineering and r&d costs) to redesign the whole thing. But also I doubt the removal of 3 barrels wouldn't save that much money. It would primarily only save the cost of the materials, as complexity would not really decrease.
3 barrel would be cool even from just an aesthetics point of view. Would pretty much require a whole new design from the ground up though, and generally the geometry of feeding in a 3 round/3 barrel pattern would be less gradual, so perhaps would be a less smooth feeling action overall
