- Minigun in slow motion: • Slow Motion: M134 Minigun
The General Electric M134 "Minigun" is essentially an electrically-powered Gatling gun - the conceptual operation of the gun is identical to Dr. Gatling's original creation. What has changed, however, is the chambering (it's in 7.62 NATO), the power source (an electric motor), and the feed mechanism (belt-feed using M60 links instead of the Gatling's Accles, Broadwell, or Bruce feeds). The weapon was a scaled down version of a 20mm rotary powered cannon devised for aircraft armament after WW2, hence the "mini" name. It was used primarily as helicopter armament, although it has found its way only ground vehicles as well. Firing between 3000 and 6000 rounds per minute, the Minigun is ideal for aerial engagements where the gunner only has a brief moment on target and needs to fire as much as possible during that moment.
It is a truly awe-inspiring weapon, and quite an experience to fire! In addition to destroying a truck with it, we will look at disassembly and functioning of the minigun - the delinking mechanism is really the most complex part of the weapon, and a very interesting device.
Thanks to Modern Arms of Tempe, AZ for providing the Minigun for this video! They offer the gun for rental, if you are interested in trying it out yourself.

No one forgot the minigun existed, he just wanted an excuse to shoot it lol.
No mini-guns were not forgotten, But the gun itself was.(The specific gun)
@@lewld37 this is a gun still in use.
I didten knew the eletrik gatling was really old in ancestors
That was my very first thought! LMAO
@@austinm.9832 I think he meant something like... The gun was well known but hardly anyone have any idea when the idea came out and any idea how it really work instead of just slap a motor on the gatling.
there is a magical rate of fire when a gun stops sounding like a gun, and starts sounding like the world's most violent fan
Sam Guglin or a meat grinder
Or a fog horn
i think it sounds like the tripods from war of worlds
Imagine what 50 bullets snapping through the air in one second sounds like on the receiving end... you'd be lucky if you survived long enough to hear the report of the gun wail after that O_O
Lol, over 70,000 rpm? Look up Metal Storm.
"You'll die a little bit later if you hide behind the engine block". Sensible information, thank you Ian 🙂
It’s hard to believe that it’s capable of firing up to a 100 bullets per second, that’s just downright astounding.
No kidding
it cost 12,000$ usd dollars to shot this weapon, for 12 seconds
Fun fact, in canada a regular low-end 308 round will cost around 2.50$ CAD per round so that' around 250$ CAD per second...
@@isidrotorrescamacho9113that would come out to 10$/round (12,000 / 12 / 100). I think you meant $1,200 for 12 seconds at 1/$ round which I mean.. is still freaking expensive

What IS the wattage of a fusion cell? I forgot.
@@zurnie It's supposed to be the equivalent of a small fusion reactor. Basically it could power a building for around 200 years. I'm not sure the wattage though.
@@SirDankleberry so every fusion core in the game is about to deplete it's fuel right? Since every core in the game is OVER 200 years old?
@@sorrenblitz805 Well the ones that are active sure but not every core was in use so there would probably be a few that are full. Also in Fallout 76 they made it possible to create new ones with the right skills and rare materials.
Perfect for home defence, I have electrical outlets in every room. I'll just put it on one of those rolling office chairs.

I hope you put at least a licence plate on that chair because with that recoil you are gonna speed up enough to merge into the highway!
Hahaha use 2 mini guns, 1 as an engine to push yourself forward the other as a weapon
A weapon to surpass metal gear
"Like firing your 308 rifle 67 times per second" youd look like a pingpong ball.

"I am here with a pretty cool gun" the energy of this man is enough to shatter worlds
This is just like the A-10 gun. If you hear it, you weren’t the target.
To be fair, that would be true of any weapon that fires supersonic ammo.
astropapi1 not really, cause essentially all modern ammo is supersonic, what he’s saying is, if that thing is fired at you, you will be destroyed instantly, but with a normal gun you could hear, be the target or even get hit, and still hear it
@@OrdinaryLatvian 22 subsonic has game like "wha...."
Well, pretty much all modern *rifle* rounds are supersonic (.308 definitely being one of them) but unless it were a head shot they probably would live long enough to hear it, but not much longer than that.
Sub-sonic pistol rounds are pretty common especially as suppressors have become more popular in civilian use.
I know what you meant though, just couldn't resist the nit-pick. =)
The .308 round DOES NOT move faster than the a-10 20 mm round edit: I meant 30 mm not 20, spelling error
I love how he's talking about it to me like I'm going to own one of these some day.
Damez Exclaimz I wish I could
Yep, probably couldn't afford a seconds worth of shooting myself let alone the whole gun to do it!

Whoa!! The de-linker demo was awesome! I always thought it operated by magic spells and incantations. The d-link mechanics are really so simple but so crazy genius at same time!! I'm dying to see the 223 MINI mini micro gun
If you mean the original GE XM214 there are only about 10 of them ever. And no one really knows where they are or where they went. But there’s a new one being developed by a different company that hopefully he gets his hands on!!!
@@darrylpioch2055 "no one knows where they went"... I love that!
The system was very dependent on timing. the ammo drum in an AH-1 could carry 6000 rounds in a rotary drum which had a separate drive motor and slipper clutch drive which needed to be timed with the feeder and the Gun. If a gun system was properly timed and proper trigger control used by the flight crew it would fire days long without failure.
The first Minigun prop in the movie Predator was actually incredibly dangerous. It was just firing blanks, but it ejected the shells so hard that it kept cracking the protective Plexiglas they used in 80's. In fact one shell imbedded so deeply into the Plexiglas Jesse Ventura refused to use it any more until they could come up with a safer system. So eventually back in LA the studio's armors came up with a new mock up. This new prop ejected the shells slow enough they no longer were a threat. That gun would later be used for decades after in many many movies.
Time to let Ol' Painless out of the bag.
I heard that just from firing blanks they couldn’t handle the recoil
DAm nice Jesse respects gun safety unlike some other actor

To me as a fan of old mechanics, this MI34 is just a very speedy typewriter. It's very entertaining to watch, thumbs up Ian
I remember being in deployed in Jalalabad in 2007 and having one of these in our Humvee. I didnt have ear plugs in and we ran over an IED and got ambushed. We used the humvee as cover and our Minigun was fine I didnt have any ear protection and let me tell yea. This thing has a very distinct sound when firing it sounds like a Very loud and distorted sweeper and the rounds eject so quickly the chimes of the casings hitting create almost like a musical chime lol.
As a E5 Grenadier I can say this thing is a beast and can cut anyone in half who is unfortunate enough to be in its line of fire. If you switch out its ammo to explosive rounds it can do more then cut people in half.
Always loved the M134. Its just heavy af when dismounting it and having to move it. Other than that very fun and very effective weapon
"It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds"
more like 36,180 dollars, assuming a price per round at 75 cents edit: okay i don't know how i got 36000 its actually more around $450 - $900 depending on if the firerate is 3000 rpm or 6000rpm but i must've forgotten a decimal or something cause 36000 is not right and also i knew it was a reference

I never thought I would hear the words "tiny little 308"
Well, compared to a 20 mm...
I know right? .308 if it hits you, is gonna fuck you up immensely, if not outright kill you. Granted, it's not a 20mm, or a 30mm, like the A-10, but still. Wat
And you have to consider the fact that it's not just a single. 308 round you are getting hit with, but more like two or three (at least), even if you are at a few hundred yards, you are going to suddenly find yourself occupying a much larger area than you used to.
Kinda like a friend of mine in grade school said he hit a squirrel with a 30.06 and it ended up somthing like six foot long..

Not very useful advice for me in britain
WWI era cloth belt fed machineguns would extract the round to the rear before feeding them forward into the breach. Metallic links are simply pushed forward by the bolt as it closes--just like the feed from a magazine. A much simpler process and one of the reasons the weapons became simpler and light.

"scaled down to this little tiny 308 round"
I love being able to call a 308 tiny
Lol same here. I remember when it used to be the giant 308. But thanks to the .50 bmg and Nitro rounds. It became the tiny 308 lol.
One day they'll scale it up to 40mm. Think of the trouble you could cause with that.
It is pretty small compared to the 20mm rounds the Air Force and Navy used for their aircraft.
When at 3000rpm it's devastating
@@kritizismmusics9737 at any rpm it's devastating
I can tell you one thing the more you use it the more you're going to understand where the rounds are going to go. A buddy of mine he's an older general than me and he used to be a minigun Gunner out of a helicopter he told me at the beginning he had no clue where the rounds were going to go but the more you use it the more you're going to understand where the rounds are going to go it's almost like a sixth sense just like anything if you get comfortable enough with it it acts like just another arm or appendage from you. So the more you use that gun the more accurate you're going to get with it
Had only been able to read about operation in print. This really shows feed / ejection system in detail. Other older photos I've seen had a Delco-Remy tag on the motor.. .
And here we see the difference between Forgotten Weapons, FPSRussia, Iraq Veteran, TFB TV, and hickock45. Ian fires the minigun at a truck merely to showcase its capabilities. FPSRussia would have loaded the truck full of tannerite and used the minigun to to shoot incendiary or tracer bullets at it. Iraq Veteran would have done a mud test on the minigun and shoehorned a 10/22 into the video. Alex from TFB would have somehow attempted to do a run-and-gun with the minigun. Hickock45 would have used the minigun to destroy 2-liter bottles.
If Alex did one it would be with his personal minigun. Those TFB boys are loaded!
ThePhantom710 If Demolition Ranch did it he would shoot it at a mannequin with ar500 armor duct taped to it 😂😂😂

No that's the huge one. The big one is the 20mm version found in most other US fighter aircraft.

1r0zz re 5 actually got it right though they used an ultimately failed prototype of a man portable version of the m 34
@@SanoZero
It had the needed backpack, but the firing was wrong.
With a rate of fire of 2000 rpm(and that's slow for a gatling) the game would need to "spawn" a new shot each frame, i do not think re5 does that.
Re5 also does not even understand the concept of ballistic and damage...
Also i think there is the "wind up", and that does not make any sense...if anything there is a " wind down"
1r0zz I wasn’t claiming anywhere near re 5 being realistic, all I meant was that compared to games that let you walk with an M34 with no power source or ammunition, re 5 had a bit more thought. Also, I will say the concept of ballistics is well simulated to the degree of resident evils style. Shots to the leg causes stumbles and falls. Shots to arms cause weapons to be dropped or fail. Damage I’ll give you but the plot explains why the plaga host becomes more durable.

The "click" you hear at 6:21 is not the firing pin. It's the clutch solenoid pin resetting. You wouldn't be able to hear the firing pins because the safing cover is removed thus preventing the bolts from moving forward to lock and cam the firing pins to snap forward. Just a quick FYI.

@@stevehellerud9480 tear down for these actually isnt that bad, and only takes about 10-ish minutes even with very little experience. Outside of the motor and delinker (which don't really get dirty from normal operation), the gun itself is actually very very simple and comes apart fairly easily.
try the double tap instead of going full auto so you can maximize your 6 hours. LOL!
Would you just look at that! Would you just look at it!
@Johan sigurdson - an hour of ammo is 180,000 rounds.
Dont know what it sells for but if it is 1.00 a round, that is $180,000.00 dollars.
Now i have used up 61 minutes of my 6 hour rental.
My favorite minigun moment on TV was some stupid history channel show(or something similar), the host was being show footage of a minigun and asked "can I see some slowmo of that" the guy showing the footage looked at him and completely straight faced said "that was the slowmo."
can i get a link to the vid
Name of the video please
@@trainfan-ks5hk he said he saw it on TV, not a video you illiterate mongoloid
@@CourierSiix I love that word, nice one Doom-Guy
The name of the tv show is peppa pig
To this day, my favorite CZcams subtitle of all time is "Ian proceeds to delete a pickup truck"
Always loved the minigun.
And now i appreciate it
"You'll die a little bit later if you hide behind the engine block" XD
Well put.
Well put.
A useful life-lesson, right there!
🤣🤣🤣
"I'm gonna start low and bring the gun up to target." First shots are 10 ft high.
Who has to pick up the brass?
@@jeffgraham436 Just get a broom and a dustpan or shovel
Great job, Ian!
Great explanation....
Not exactly forgotten, more like the coolest thing ever.
GSh-6-30 is cooler. That thing broke device, that should mesure recoil. Also, it can shred tank usless without any facny deplited uranium.
Игорь Костоев no
Oh, you mean the one that rattles the aircraft it's attached to into its component parts?
The one where the instrument panel of the aircraft firing it FELL OFF during flight after firing?
Russian copies of American tech are always fairly amusing. They take an idea and then multiply everything about it by two without ever considering why we didn't do the same.
This is an _unforgettable_ weapon
GSh is a cannon that should be compared to Avenger, not Minigun. And yeah, it was (in)famous for breaking things and causing crashes of friendly craft.
"As a guy without a whole lot of experience shooting a mini-gun...". That's like 99.99% of the population.

I got the opportunity to fire a Dillon Aero M-134. This is an amazing mini-gun.
Ive shot one several times at different gunshows
We had these on our boats. It's a tremendous force multiplier. By that, I mean you can flatten a wooded area and every human in it within seconds
3:21 When it comes to batteries, it is possible to get a Li-Po batteries under 3kg that could easily provide enough power. In movies they usually do not shoot for very long periods of time, so considering the amount of ammo needed it might still be possible, especially after slowing the motor down, but the recoil would be absolutely unbearable and I have to agree that it would be a really impractical gun.
Under 1kg, easily, even. That's the kind of power density they put into electric cars, and they optimize for range/capcity more than power density.
I love how the same company (general electric) who makes refrigerator's and microwaves also makes aircraft weaponry that annihilates enemies lol
GE is involved in waaaaaaay more than mere home appliances. They hold a lot of military contracts and work on a ton of "secret squirrel" type shit.
And now they are making respirators for the virus patients.
@@willrose592 GE was a massive part of the war efforts of both world wars, so yeah.
The nuclear disaster in Japan, Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant reactors ,Units 1, 2, and 6 were supplied by General Electric also.
This happens all over the world with large companies. For example, the same Mitsubishi that make Lancers, air conditioning units and writing utensils also manufactured the Zeros that were flying into american ships in the Pacific
me talking about my crush: 19:02
i go against everything read this randomly then he said it 😂😂😂😂
You monster! :o
Lmao!!!
LOL xD
Short answer, no
Super clean gun, super informative, super enjoyable 😉 thank you.
That had to be one of the most fun guns to review.
"You will die a little bit later if you hide behind the engine block"
- Manual for surviving Minigun attacks, page 12
You made a whole manual for that?
I'd think that's both an oddly specific thing, and if it did happen people probably wouldn't survive being fired at from one
Lmao
@@spartanwar1185 No I did not made a manual. I was joking about what such a manual would say.... the fun part being "you will die a little bit later" clarifying it doesnt really matter what you do. You dont really survive Minigun attacks.
Page#1 . Stand behind the aforementioned minigun.
@@robertfish9635 That probably is for the best :)

Were Ian the character in a movie, he would be the villain or hero that describes exactly what he's using to send you off.
"But being this is a .44 Magnum, while not the, (strictly speaking) most powerful handgun in the world, there are single shot Thomson Contenders chambered in 45-70 government, the .454 Casull has been developed as a wildcat cartridge by Dick Casull since 1957, but putting those examples aside, and regardless, .44 magnum at this range is more than sufficient to blow your head clean off,.. luck doesnt factor into it, I was counting my rounds, but I doubt very much you were.....punk."
something like that.
Lmao that brought a tear to my eye but in a good way. Well played guys.
quistan2 YEP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
But this being a .44 magnum, lets take a closer look at the details.

So much effort on typing this but you only get about 40 likes
Clint Eastwood played that character.
It was a little before my time but I was told by older Cobra crew chiefs that manually turning the barrels would fire the gun, so the 7.62 is no technically electrically fired, because the gun used standard primed 7.62 ammo
While station at Ft. Bragg, NC I could hear the 20mm Vulcan version of this firing out on the ranges several miles away.
ISIS:- we have Toyota.
Minigun:- heavy breathing.
@Abbas Kanso ur kidding right?
