FEEL THE Unforgettable POWER OF A MINIGUN
The M134 Minigun
The M134 Minigun is a six-barrel rotary machine gun with a high, sustained rate of fire (3,000 rounds per minute) and used by U.S. Special Forces. It features a Gatling-style rotating barrel assembly with an external power source, normally an electric motor. The minigun’s multi-barrel design helps prevent overheating, and serves other operating functions aiding to a sustained, high rate of fire.
In the 1960s, the United States Armed Forces began exploring modern variants of the electric-powered, rotating barrel Gatling-style weapons for use in the Vietnam War. American forces in the Vietnam War, which used helicopters as one of the primary means of transporting soldiers and equipment through the dense jungle, found that the thin-skinned helicopters were very vulnerable to small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks when they slowed down to land. Although helicopters had mounted single-barrel machine guns, using them to repel attackers hidden in the dense jungle foliage often led to overheated barrels or cartridge jams.

EXPERIENCE A PIECE OF HAND POWERED HISTORY
Colt 1877 Bulldog Gatling Gun
The Gatling gun is one of the best-known early rapid-fire spring loaded, and hand cranked weapons. It saw occasional use by the Union forces during the American Civil War in the 1860s. It was later used in numerous military conflicts, including the Boshin War, the Anglo-Zulu War, and the assault on San Juan Hill during the Spanish American War.
The Gatling gun’s operation centered on a cyclic multi-barrel design which facilitated cooling and synchronized the firing-reloading sequence. Each barrel fired a single shot when it reached a certain point in the cycle, after which it ejected the spent cartridge, loaded a new round, and, in the process, allowed the barrel to cool. This configuration allowed higher rates of fire to be achieved without the barrels overheating.
