Dumb question - what is that stream of stuff flying out of the gun besides the shells? I see all of the shells coming out but then there is a second stream of something else coming out. What is it?

Theres a few states where such things are legal. Especially for licensed gun smiths and dealers.
They could also be Guardsmen off duty.

The links from the belt. The belt if fed into a delinker which seperates the belt from the ammo, ejects the belt links and chambers the ammo.

Theres a few ways. They could be owners/employees/friends of the company who makes them, or they could have dropped major coin to buy one of the handful of civilian registered miniguns. I'll bet its friends/employees/owners though, as the pre 86 miniguns commands an incredible price (Think Ferrari, your in the ballpark)

Do regular machine guns use belts and delinkers? I thought the ammo was on a belt but when watching videos I don't remember it having that second stream of links flying out while the weapon is being fired.

Holy cow that is insane! :shocked:

Why do they call them miniguns? They're a lot bigger than a S & W 50 cal that's a handcannon! :Q

Depends on the machinegun. Most use belts, some use mags. Generally any larger dedicated machiengun uses belts whereas full auto rifles use mags although there are some conversions available to turn a mag fed rifle into a belt fed machinegun, but they are few and far between.

Tannerite. You can make a homebrew version of it using ammonium nitrate fertilizer and aluminum powder. Very easy to do, legal as long as you adhere to the laws regarding explosives.
