Ultimate Shooting Gallery
A friend send this Youtube video of a AC-130 gunship video. I thought it was the one going around last year that was rather brutal. but it isnt! This is the most graphic display of shooting rats in a barrel that I have ever seen. Note the friendlies and there laser reflectors.
unbelievable.....I would hate to be on that battlefield if I were the enemy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQhjaCgAS80&feature=related Bob

While out at the SHOT SHOW here in LV, stopped by the Dillion booth (makers of progressive reloading presses). They had a Mini-gun that fires 308 on display, it seems that he has improved the design. It can fire up to 7000 rounds a minute, however 3000 is optimum. Anything over 3000 rounds, they tend to follow one another. In their video they showed a 50 Cal BMG firing. It was hitting all over the target zone. They said the unfirendlys could run between the hits..yeah right I am going to be dodging 50 cal BMG bullets...Anyway with the mini you just put it on target and its shreded.

Quote: "They had a Mini-gun ... "
_______________ Only saw one of these in operation once (Nam-1970). Mounted in a slow flying, fixed wing aircraft (other Vets please chime in with details please). I assume they were 7.62 Cal.? Anyone know what type/model aircraft was used? It was just before sundown. Someone had called in for air support and we watched from a nearby Fire Base as this thing made about three passes near a hillside several 'clicks' away. I do not know what the gun's cycle rate was then (1970) nor how many bullets were spaced between tracers rounds (1 every 10?), but it had two of these guns and I had never before seen one fire. With a machine gun you can 'almost' hear the intervals between rounds. With a mini gun the sound was just: "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" almost like an ANGRY electric motor spinning up. With a machine gun (at night) the tracer spacing is noticeable. With those minis, it was as if they had turned on two, red laser beams. Two SOLID RED strings ...from aircraft to ground! I would not want to be on the receiving end of that weapon! The story was (then) they could make a pass over an area the size of a football field and put at least one bullet in every square inch. (That MAY have been an exaggeration?) If someone has more details on those 'Nam era' guns, I would like them to jump in.

Mo,
They were in the Huey Cobra and in the C130 gunship labled "Puff" Maybe others, but all the Cobras had them. I heard the same thing about their rate of fire. Dillon has a great video if you want to look for it....'Machinegun Magic"

Wow, all Cobras had mini guns? I didn't know that.
You 'Dog Faces' got all the good toys!  Our (marine) choppers only had machine guns.
