minigun

how does it fire? can you range it? what do you pack it with?

Well I am not an Engineer , so I can't give you anything precise , such as , measurements and such , but it fires but taping up an empty roll of toliet paper filled with bbs , and set on top of a rather large explosive , again can't be precise on what kind , but you aim it by titlting it on a board , then setting the other end on another board , it is rather hard to describe online , so I will get a picture up here soon .

lol rgr when i build my mortar i will post pics ordering the plans now

Right on Slob! I would say a Minigun, like everybody else says, is useless. But Slob, you mentioned an Airsoft RPG. Is that the one $1,200 one on RedWolf? how does that thing work??

I think for people to use mini guns practicaly the airsoft field should buy it just for their use as a mounted weapon in several areas instead of making people buy their own.

Hey D-T,

The RPG uses the 40mm grenade to launch the warhead, the best ones that I have seen use a NERF ( Foam Rubber ) warhead, flat and stable flight. These things need alot of practice to be used effectivly on the Field. I have to admit, the expression on the drivers face when you jump up with one of these things is almost worth the Price, almost.

@djstasevich,

It is a good idea that Fields buy them because of the extreme cost, but since most of the M134´s on the market are shooting in the 4 Joule ( some alot stronger, 7 Joules ) range, I highly doubt that the Fields that do have them would allow them to be used or rented buy the General Public, all you would need is to have some jerk behind the trigger, and you are going to have somebody in the Hospital.

How much is 7 joulse in fps ? if you tell me about what 1 joule is i will be able to do the math lol.

Joules is actually an energy measurement. FPS is a velocity measurement.

But for the sake of not going into a page of science during a break from school, heres the simple conversion.

7 Joules = 868 FPS. But again Joules is and energy unit, FPS is a velocity unit. So you could also have a 7 joule rifle roughly shooting at 400FPS with .88G BB's. This is why I think we should move to a Joule based measurement fr airsoft then we could just use low impact rounds combined with high FPS to achieve a very high range.

Good Explanation Sticks,

Don´t forget that all Joule mesurements are based on 0,20g BB´s unless stated diffrently.

1 Joule is 328 FPS
4 Joule is 454 FPS
7 Joule is roughly 868 FPS

all mesurements .20g BB´s
If you use higher weights then the numbers would be completly different,
Example 0.43g BB´s

1 Joule is 223 FPS
4 Joule is 447 FPS
7 Joule is 591 FPS

This is the reason why most fields measure gun power and energy with .20g BB´s before the start of a Game, imagine how it would go if a player showed up at an event, Chron´s with his/her own BB´s and lie´s about the weight.

holly CRAP that would hurt like no other lol but thanks guys now i see why joulse are so low lol.

well remember that math is based on a .20. A 40 mm projectile, of course, is going to be traveling alot slower especially at 4 joules.

Ya i know but if you used .2bb's it would really hurt.

Going back to the M134 Mini Gun,

There are a few Vids on YouTube showing this gun in action, the best display is of when it is used to destroy a TV !!

I have seen a HIGH end M134 shoot through a refrigerator door using ALU BB´s ( 11,6 joules ), now imagine this Beast in the hands of an immature player, again, not to beat a dead horse, Nice to look at, Great to discuss, but limited in it´s use.

ya i think the only way you could really use this in a war is like a long range support like a morter or something call it in for a distance and have the person arch the bb's so it comes down like a shower...

Actually the best use for the M134 is to direct your opponent in the direction you want them to go, Settin one up on a flank or on the point of your defense, and using the insane rate of fire to push your enemy into a position where they can be delt with with the minimum ammount of exposure, will greatly increase your chances of success.

Nobody wants to get hit by these things, just to many BB´s at once

As a supression weapon it can´t be beat.
