Mini Gun on Huey (must see video on youtube)

I am reasonably certain that that is a Dillion Aero weapon. They have been making them for sometime and have fixed many of the issues that the GE version had. Most notably you can clear a jam in about 10 seconds. The GE required tools and about 20 minutes to clear a jam. Dillion improved the delinker and the bolt assemblies. The youtube video was shot at a range in Arizona I believe.

The power of the mini-gun become legendary in Vietnam, attached to Spooky and Puff the Magic Dragon. Underneath a gunship firing it's mini-guns, I've been nearly buried alive in hot brass.

I have the same video in .mpg format and it's a lot longer than this one..it's been around a few years..

[Squeako]

You'll like this one, too. .It's the .50 cal, three-barreled version.

mad,

I am not familiar with the Dillon, but I spent time as a gunner on AF SAR choppers in SEA and we used the GAU-2/B 7.62mm. Great weapon when it was working. The belts had self-disintegrating links but the tolerances were very tight and if you encountered a 'chink' in the belt you were in for one epic jam. You usually grabbed your CAR-15
because it wasn't the optimum time for weapon maintenance.

Oddly, the designers have chosen the 25mm gatling cannon used on the AV-8B for the F-35, instead of the 20 mm that has been used on the F-104, F-105, F-111, F-4, F-14, F-15, F-16, and F/A-18.

Excellent, thx!

[Yo-Yo]

Oh, I forgot, the 20mm is on the F-22 as well.

Okay, but I've had this tagline for over 2 years, I post somewhere on FR almost every day, and you just now noticed it?

Funny how Murphy works overtime in war.

Google Dillion you may only find their reloading equipment information. The aero side likes to keep a low profile. Their reloading stuff is the best IMHO. Also one of the cable channel shows did about 20 minutes on the mini-gun. It might of been on the Military Channel but can't remember. But of course anytime Predator is on I have to watch the mini-gun scene. It is about 43 minutes runtime in the G version!!

@#$%^&$$% it's Dillon not the other.

50mm? HOLY SMOKES, dude, that a 2" projectile!

[umgud]

I wonder if anyone got hurt in the video (hehe).

That's going to leave a mark.
