The Destructive Power of Gatling Guns

[Modeps]

I wouldnt want these things pointed at me or anywhere near me. The tracers it fires make it look almost like a laser weapon.

Cool vid, they do a fine job with limited footage. What song played the first half of the vid?

You could use tracers only and still take out any civilian vehicle easily.

Fight Fire with Fire, Metallica.

whats the rouds per sec on one of thoes things? i know its an insane number i just cant remember exactly

 

[Calin]

I think there are incendiary rounds and (maybe) explosive rounds in the ammo chains. Usually there is a tracer at 5 (or more) other bullet types.
So to have an idea about the rate of fire, multiply the bullets you see by 5 or 10.

 

[0roo0roo]

too much tracer? is that the normal load out for battle? seems sorta like advertising your position much.

I think the round per minute rate varies by gun. But 3600 is in the ball park. *proceeds to write letters to Santa*

I've seen something, but it was lateral view of a burst, in daylight. Just a column of smoke in front of the aircraft.
I like the way the front wheel was moved to the side of the fuselage to make room for the cannon

You better ask for a shipping container full of ammo and new barrels too. Those alone would put me in the poor house.

But still excellent video.

Does anyone have the video where Jesse James from Monster Garage tears up the RX-7 with a "Mini gun"?

 

[no0b]

hehe, read Black Hawk Down to find out what it does to people.

 

[Triumph]

Looks like incendiary rounds.
