I'm not sure why I feel compelled to correct the record on this, but here g=
oes:
The gun doesn't fire simultaneously from six barrels. It fires from one bar=
rel at a time, and most have five barrels. As the barrel assembly is rotate=
d by the electric motor each barrel is in a different state of affairs -- f=
iring, ejecting cartridge case, loading, etc.
They're magical little machines and lots of fun to tinker with.

These things have been life-savers from the days of "Spooky" and "Puff" in =
the VN era. When mounted on passenger vehicles the main concern is losing y=
our power supply. I have always thought that it would be nice if the manufa=
cturer offered an add-on kit that would allow the gun to be man-operated li=
ke the original model. Given today's metals and machining ability, it shoul=
d not be much of a problem.

Another point in regard to facilities like Lawrence Livermore is the threat=
from the air. Presumably this has always been covered by some form of miss=
ile defense system. However, the problem here is the circumference of the n=
o-fly zome around the facility. Perhaps, given the likely small radius of t=
he no-fly zone a better protection would be a number of these guns in 20 mm=
. The use of 20 mm would also add back-up to the somewhat limited protectio=
n afforded by the more mobile 7.62 mm models. It would seem that once a ter=
rorist group realized the facility was protected by 7.62 miniguns using dep=
leted core ammo, it would up-grade the type of vehicle it would select to b=
reach the defences.=20

These are mounted inside the Black SUV's you see in Presidential motorcades=
and VIP caravans. You need the windshield wipers going to clear the spent=
casings. They simultaneously fire 7.62mm bullets from six barrels at up to=
4000 rounds per minute. Talkin' 'bout road rage! =20
