I’d just like to have the ammo budget for that bad boy.

Concur. But there's a fairly sad story that goes with it.

Friday Oct 13th 1995, West Point KY.
Fatality at Knob Creek Machinegun Shoot

A fatal accident occurred when a young girl/woman was killed when firing three miniguns simultaneously, which were owned by Mr. Neil Smith (below), which caused the M3 Tripod, upon which they were mounted, to flip backwards. She was killed when the guns and mount struck and crushed her skull.

The M134 minigun used in Predator and T2 was built by Neal E. Smith of Mentor, Ohio, and is owned by Stembridge Gun Rentals, Glendale, CA. ... .

Recoil from one M134 putting out 100 7,62 Nato rounds per second is bad enough. Times three was seriously worse.
