Shooting the Monstrously Powerful Quad M134 Minigun

#1 Post by Chuck »

Filmed at the Big Sandy Shoot in Arizona.

If you get the chance go to this show, it's awesome!

When I was there they had a mini gun you could fire:

Rounds 100
Cost: $100
Time on gun: ONE SECOND!

The wee lights you see in the evening session are drone targetss they fly up and down the gully...

Yeah, that's the joys of living in a free country - they even had quad brownings from aircraft set up there!

It's an awesome day and evening out. Wish I'd taken the video cam - I was told they were not allowed, WRONG!!!!!!!!

At night all those tracers from a variety of machine guns are amazing....

It was organised by the Vickers MG Collection & Research Association.

They are a not for profit limited company run by volunteers, so yes they are Civvies.

16 vickers is about 8,000 rounds per minute.

Not exactly your everyday civvy though is it. Not as if just anyone on here could get one or two.

Amercia has it sussed with that 2A.

Vickers at 8000 rpm is faster than the minigun. Sounds expensive - but fun, lots of fun :D :D :D :D :D
