6,000 rounds per minute of Freedom Seeds comin at ya

[@wtfsalommy3250]

When the 30 caliber isn't enough,Uncle Sam orders a 30 mm 🤣💀😂

[@ColemanCanna]

Why not 🙃😉

[@Dusk.EighthLegion]

A 30mm...are you sure that's big enough?" "Eh, if we need something bigger we'll just order it from the catalogue."

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

@@Dusk.EighthLegion Perhaps gravity is the limit for an 8-barrelled 40mm. NO PROBLEM 😉 the rus say they will make a 10-barrelled 57mm Gatling gun.

I served on the Vulcan during the Gulf. Love that gun

Amazing ! and that mini gun on the Land Rover looks GREAT. 👍

[@earlshaner4441]

That's some serious fun

[@JR-sq2of]

Hey Mr Willis, how come these weren't used in WWII to offset the German Zipper machine gun? Or did they? Thx 👍

[@Spiritofaconure]

If you love mini guns check out the Fleming firearms mini gun, it’s like a handheld version, so badass

[@haroldmclean3755]

Very interesting 👍

[@btbd2785]

Wonder if they will ever create a 40, 50 or even 57mm Version of the Rotary Canon! That would be INSANE!!!

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

The minigun, one of the weapons I need during the Zombie Apocalypse.

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

A wonderful documentary about Gatling gun ( Gaul A,Gaul B aventur) ...shared by (war stories ) channel

[@tristanconnolly5675]

Nice.

[@jackpinongan5089]

wow

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

I saw recently they at last made a 5.56mm Gatling mini-mini gun, but no 12.7mm 6-barreled Gatling gun ?

[@johnconnolly5117]

I was thinking same…maybe too heavy or too fast to support the ammo needs? But really Why not?

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

@@johnconnolly5117 If I remember correctly the Vulcan cannon is a 20mm 6-barrelled Gatling gun called the maxigun that equiped the F-105 & the F-5, & 12.7mm < 20mm

[@nkosinathisithole8002]

All the episodes u have been doing remind me of Gunnery Sargeant Arley Amy show Lock and load

[@mohamaddanielshaffiquebroh2995]

Hmm. This is why I'm waiting for.

[@ColemanCanna]

As you go into Davis-Monthan AFB theres an A-10.

[@rdaw33]

I sure hope the US is the only country to have these cool weapons!!

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

The rus & xhis say they have hyper far superior weaps

[@aaronseet2738]

Too bad didn't visit the Marine Corps to test out AH-1 Cobra's M197 cannon.

[@TNx368]

Has anyone thought about mounting GAU-8 on a ground platform? Imagine sending lead toward a armoured column from an armoured vehicle!

[@MichaelBossart]

There is no ground platform for it. But the Dutch used this gun in a system called Goalkeeper to defend warships from missiles.

[@thedamntrain3467]

no use on a humvee.... cause you have to compete with the m2 and good luck with that

[@BLECHHAUS]

my last wish on earth before I pass away is from minute 45 on . . . .

[@ultrajd]

Is it me, Or is the audio just a little…buzzy?

[@user-zw2qv5he4l]

That gun got problem speed! we tested it and definitely not good on the battle field!

Does the United States is the only country that has it? Or does china and russia also have them

[@thezodiak6666]

0:38 thats not a warthog.... warthog goes BRRRRRRRRRRR

[@manuelvaldez8509]

Its formidable gun.....buts they must give emphasis on how to conserve spent shells..if thousand of guns if that kind our earth will run out of brass copper

[@massmike11]

Actualy the military does recycle the brass, if you search there is a video on KZbin that shows it being done

[@kragaliciuos9476]

Man that helo ride looked f.... awesome. Im not American. But God bless America :D

[@HectorHuertas-gu8sv]

Wow that was a cool video! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!

[@bigizzysworld4253]

I love the minigun and all, but from a taxpayers perspective, it’s an economical cringe with the amount money it wastes down range versus actual hits

[@chuckb9867]

How many years ago was this video made rotary wing aircraft?You can engage it😂😂😂😂😂

[@TNx368]

Would the GAU-19B on a UGV be a meat-wave-stopper for the Ukrainian forces? They really need this.

[@Finn_MacCool]

Why is it called a "mini" gun? Shouldn't it be called a "many" gun? Because it shoots "many" bullets.

[@Dusk.EighthLegion]

It's called a minigun because it's a miniaturized version of the 20mm Vulcan cannon, although I do agree it should be called a manygun.

[@drivethruabortion280]

Yet we lose all wars

[@Brandon5799]

That’s politics for you

[@drivethruabortion280]

I knew you say that. Home defenders will always fight more tooth and nail than well fed invaders who want to go home. America had one just military action in Afghanistan, that's it. Anyway, we invent these to sell when obsolete. Soon, third world hellholes will have this
