Yes I have read a lot of that. On forums we talk about 'high round count' guns. At that range they fire literally millions of rounds of ammo a year. So they - as you mention - have a lot to say about long-term reliability of various manufacturers / designs / models / ammunition. Good stuff. ----------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Per the website FAQ, ammo is included, but you can buy more. The mini-gun cost $200 to fire 100 rounds. In the video that lasted about 1.5 seconds. The website also says do not arrive intoxicated, etc. I imagine many are naturally high when they leave. | |||

I’ve sat in them, but didn’t get to fire it. One of the most wicked twin setups I got to shoot was two mg81’s. Both were running at 1600rpm! ******************************************** "On the other side of fear you will always find freedom" | |||

If you thought the MG81Z (Zwilling/Double) was impressive... check out the MG81A (Achtling/Octuple)! ~1,500 x 8 = roughly 12,000 RPM. Or roughly 200 rounds per second.  | |||

During the week of SHOT Show , the lines for the Range go OUT the DOOR. They are busy all day long. Visited a few years ago during SHOT and the floor was 3" deep in fired brass. They even had a suppressed .338 Lapua and IIRC a fifty one could shoot. | |||

Now I know why GIs called it "Hitler's Zipper." And that minigun had a laser on it. It would almost be worth it to just shoot that sucker all day. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

That would be a lot of fun,although it would be my priciest day at the range without bringing anything home to call mine. | |||

I think I'd be OK with some reactive targets at 100-200 yards with about 100 rounds out of a BAR. | |||

I am always impressed at how fast those belts move through MG42s. I've always heard Hitler's Buzzsaw etc.... but yowza those things chew through belts _________________________ An unarmed man can only flee from evil and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. - Col Jeff Cooper NRA Life Member Long Live the Super Thirty-Eight | |||

I’ve wasted $1K in far worse ways than that. Usually in retrospect, but if I’d had the choice between what I did and that, I’d chose that in a heartbeat. | |||
