General Electric M134 MiniGun
This awesome weapon, available
in 5.56mm on 7.62mm calibre, is essentially eight (sometimes six) seperate
guns connected to an electric motor. As the assembly rotates under
electric power, each gun fires, causing a hail of bullets which spew out
close to 8000 rounds per minute!
Meant to be mounted on aircraft,
this monster weapon has been seen in many films being "fired from the hip."
Perhaps nobody did it better than Minnesota's own Jesse "The Body" Ventura
in "Predator." The gun for that movie, built by Chuck Stembridge,
a noted Hollywood gun consultant, was powered by a remote battery which
was connected by a cable which ran down Jesse's pants leg during the filming.
