Bet ol Gunny is hoping someone will ask him a question on Mail Call so he can get some trigger time!

I want one of those guns and I know where to get it. I will send my brother-in-law.

I got my 550B this summer, I love it. For handgunners there is no reason to buy any other brand. I wasted a couple of hundred dollars on a Lee press before seeing the light.

When they said "electrically operated" I thought they meant that the bullets were accelerated electrically, which would've been a revolutionary new system, but digging around their website shows that it uses standard 7.62 ammo that is electrically fed into the chamber.

I also want the deadly weapon on the left. I will be going myself...if I can find somebody to alibi me to my wife.

Collaboration (col·labo·ration) n.

Still wrong. No classified work is done at Berkeley. None. Zip. Squattro. They DON'T collaborate on weapons work.

I hope my illustration adequately answers the other poster's questions about loading the belts.

[Old Flat Toad]

Yeah, way too dangerous for city folks. Ya'll send 'em down to the border when yer done. We'll put 'em to good use ;)

Aghhhhhh.....(Drools on keyboard)

There are a very few of these "miniguns" in private hands, including one rig with three of these guns on a turret. Prices are in the mid-six figures, and naturally they fall under the NFA, so it's not as easy as walking into your local Wal-Mart for a deer rifle.

The M-61 Vulcan - a Viet Nam era weapon that was mounted on aircraft as well as ground-fired - was a 20mm, 6 barrel that fired 100 rounds per second - 6,000 rounds per minute. Why do we need a new one that fires smaller rounds at half the rate???

...that is the lovely Cathy, one of the favorite Dillon Aero models ...

Oooh, nice a....mmo!

What a job that man has. He gets to fire anything and everything that comes his way.

"We have a breach"
(BRRRRRRRRRRRRR)
"Suspect down!"

[Conservative Goddess]

That's great......had sound and everything.

That little girl is going to be a force to be reckoned with....I bet she'll never take $h-t from anyone.

"We have a breach" (BRRRRRRRRRRRRR) "Suspect down vaporized!"
