Slow Motion: M134 Minigun
Forgotten Weapons
•
7m 49s
Following up to yesterday's look at the history and (partial) disassembly of a GE M134 Minigun, today we will check it out in slow motion. I filmed these high-speed shots, but there was so much detail in them to discuss that I decided to make them into a second separate video rather than cram everything into just one.
So, here let's have a look at the underside of the gun at 2500 fps and then the muzzle end at 5000 fps - the Minigun like you have never seen it before!
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.
