M134 Mini Gun Rental

The M134 Minigun is a six-barrel rotary machine gun with a high, sustained rate of fire (3,000 rounds per minute) and used by U.S. Special Forces. It features a Gatling-style rotating barrel assembly with an external power source, normally an electric motor. The minigun’s multi-barrel design helps prevent overheating, and serves other operating functions aiding to a sustained, high rate of fire.

In the 1960s, the United States Armed Forces began exploring modern variants of the electric-powered, rotating barrel Gatling-style weapons for use in the Vietnam War. American forces in the Vietnam War, which used helicopters as one of the primary means of transporting soldiers and equipment through the dense jungle, found that the thin-skinned helicopters were very vulnerable to small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks when they slowed down to land. Although helicopters had mounted single-barrel machine guns, using them to repel attackers hidden in the dense jungle foliage often led to overheated barrels or cartridge jams.
