I figure you could use the electric motor to rotate the barrels. However, there's no guarantee that it has enough torque to keep them spinning at sufficient speed to achieve such high fire ratios!
I always liked how pathetic this gun was in games. MG-42 had 1200RPM, MG-81 had 1600+, ShKAS had 1800+ and the ShKAS M or UltraShKAS veraion had gone to 2600-3000 rounds per minute depending on the source. All on single barrel and at less then 20 kilos. And all of them fired full sized rifled rounds that had enough power to pierce brick wall... fly through the room, pierce second wall, fly across the street and kill someone hiding in building across:\ Miniguns in videogames?

My primary job in the military is the co-shooter of the M61 Vulcan (the 20mm version of the Minigun). It is glorious. Rotary weapons are so effin' cool

You seemed to have completely skipped over the limited existence of the XM214 Microgun, a scaled down version of the M134 chambered in 5.56x45, also known as the GE Six-Pak, it was definitely man portable and useable by hand, however was completely impractical and thus never went into production... the minigun in Serious Sam is the XM214, which does mean that one is in fact not completely unrealistic.
I am actually surprised that someone else knew about this god among killing machines. Though there has been talk of using an exo system similar to what is used industrial work to be used with the current M134 to lighten the weight and recoil. I'm not sure what became of that idea.
stwcrusher I'm gonna take a stab and guess the reason it's not a thing is because exosuits aren't really a thing yet... Not anything that could feasably see combat, anyways... we have a long ways to go before that happens.
***** The thing is there is no need for a man portable minigun. Way too much bullets and weight for absolutely no reason. If you want support fire you don't really need anything more than an LMG for a squadmate at an infantry level.

You may be interested to know that a company called Empty Shell are producing a weapon called the XM556 Microgun, designed to be man-portable, fire 5.56 rounds, and weighing only a little over 7 kilos unloaded. You may not be able to fire a minigun as a man-portable weapon, but someone wanted to change that.
The way you presented this and your lovely accent reminded me of Top Gear so much. This was like if Top Gear did a "Top Gun" and presented it in a similar way.

The video should have mentioned that while minguns in games take time to spin up and fire, in real life the spin up is barely noticeable on externally powered miniguns like M134 Minigun or XM214 Microgun. They probably do this in games and movies for effect and to level the playing field for enemies and make things challenging for the user so as not to make the game too easy (if there was no spin up time like in games, you could just go around and pop shot everyone with out waiting for a spin up making near constant firing or spinning to make it useful in a hot area) If anything the only type of "Minigun" or multiple barrelled rotary machine gun that takes time to spin up to its full speed would be gas powered types like the russian Gsh-7.62. The Gsh-7.62 is similiart ot he minigun in that it has multiple barrels and a similar mode of operation for firing, extracting, and loading (which also means that gas powered rotary machine guns like miniguns rarely if ever jam on a bad round). The Gsh-7.62 is gas operated which means it uses no motors, and it doesnt take any time to spin up before firing although it does take a moment to get up to full firing speed, so you can still fire a gas powered mingun from stand still but it will fire slowly at first until its barrels spin up to full speed allowing for them to fire at their max firing rate.
The other thing worth noting is that, spin up time or no, the simple act of rotating the barrels causes them to chamber, fire and extract, meaning the only way to be able to spool up a minigun without burning ammo is to disconnect the feed somehow. As far as I know, one of the few modern games to get this aspect down is Halo, with the three-barreled turret gun firing from the moment you hit the trigger; the only issue is that it starts off at a very low RoF that only speeds up as the barrels speed up. Why the rotation is so slow to begin with we can only guess, but it's probably for the same reason as the other examples; to avoid making the thing too OP.
I played a game once where the Minigun used ammo while spinning but not firing. This seems realistic and sorta advanced. Still had a slow spin up though
Matt Brine you know they cant use it in planes because the vibrations would break it apart and the recoil would make it uncontrolable.... so they Can only use it on ground-fixed platforms
Simple, scale it down to a .22 round, 4-5 barrels instead of six (slightly lessened RPM, from 2000-6000 to 750-5000. Its defiantly possible to make a "Mini mini-gun" Just not practical.
Ok first off I fully admit that running around with a minigun over any distance is absolutely absurd and unrealistic, however you absolutely CAN wield one off of a mount, I am uniquely qualified to claim this as I have actually had this opportunity in the real world with the very model of minigun listed in this video. I only got to fire 1,000 rounds with it due to cost of it, but I did it with "some" accuracy. (The target was an old car from about 60 meters if I recall) and I'd say about half of the rounds hit the mark. I was stationary while firing, but I was carrying it. You need to be a strong/big guy (Much like the heroic characters in video games.) to carry one, and not need to walk around carrying it, but it can be done. Oh, and yes it gives you the feeling of being unstoppable like nothing else.
I sincerely doubt it, since it's at least 2000RPM of 7.62x51mm you're talking about. I remember well the footage of the making of of one of the Resident Evil movies (which are shit) that the actor playing Nemesis, a very tall, very bulky guy at that, was launched back from his 15Kg arm attached rotary machinegun firing blanks. But then again, the M134 is a 40kg piece of equipment, and I don't doubt you can lift it at all. That must mitigate a lot of the recoil. Anyways, if you're telling the truth, boy that must have been AWESOME.
I wish I still had the video my father took of me using it, sadly it was never backed up, then the camcorder got stolen out of his work truck. I don't know the exact type of minigun it was I got to use, but it wasn't as huge as you might think, it weighed about 50% more than a Armalite .50 cal bolt action, which is definitely heavy, and while I wouldn't describe it as a very "controllable" weapon, you can definitely accurately aim it to land most shots at something the size of a car or so from a modest distance. The one I used had a tripod you were able to fire it from, but I had the option of holding it terminator 2 style. (It was a fair bit smaller than the one in the movie btw)
the exact reason for development of M134 was infact that in Vietnam war us air force had no idea where To shoot at as NVA troops were so good at hiding in the jungle. so they figured out that they didnt need To see Charlie, they simply dumped as many rounds into the woods from air as possible and got back To Base To refit the aircraft. for example AC-47 was made solely for this purpose; a old C-47 with M134's sticking out of almost every window. they circled the supposed NVA positions at night and just sprayed the living shit out of everything down there, without even knowing if there was any NVA down there. To me that sounds as american as it can get, and great fun for gunners
The Gatling gun sounds like a great name, I’m glad that man made it because he mmmmm if someone else has done it, it would have sounded like a bad name
What is interesting is the Minigun is actually more accurate than a normal machine gun, due to the barrels compensating for the recoil, according to Future Weapons. An awesomely powerful weapon, designed for destruction.
Recoil compensation does not have an effect on accuracy of a weapon, unless referring to accuracy over sustained fire. Recoil and accuracy are 2 different things: Accuracy refers to the grouping of a given number of shots down a certain range to test a weapon's precision in firing. Recoil is jerking action, typically upwards, from firing a conventional weapon rapidly. A normal, fixed-barrel machine gun is going to be just as if not more accurate due to caliber available and fixed-barrel design. Maybe what the show claimed was that during sustained fire, the minigun was more accurate. A single barreled machine gun will be as accurate otherwise, but not during sustained fire. One issue I do see with the minigun's accuracy compared to a machine gun's is its barrel length. The minigun's barrel is shorter, theoretically making for less accuracy.
***** Machine guns are almost never select-fire, and are designed to be used in short bursts at the least, long bursts at the most. So recoil compensation absolutely has an effect on accuracy when you're talking about machine guns. Also the barrels on the M134 (or GAU-2/A or GAU-2B/A or Mk 25 Mod 0, depending on branch) are 22", about the length of your standard hunting rifle barrel. It's enough for a 7.62mm round to stabilize and reach a good velocity. I also believe that some variants, like the US Air Force's GAU-17/A, have slightly longer barrels.
Accuracy in the context hear may be more colloquial than its technical use, too. Accuracy and precision are colloquially used as synonyms, but in technical context they have distinctly different meanings. A weapon that is accurate lands all of its shots equal distance from the target, but many of these shots may not be very close to the bullseye. As long as the average position of the shots is roughly the bullseye, then it's considered accurate. Precision, on the other hand, is about grouping. If you have a tight grouping, then a weapon is considered precise, even if the grouping isn't near the bullseye. The most desirable is obviously a weapon that is both precise and accurate, this means that all of the shots form a tight grouping very close to the bullseye.
sonicpsycho13 Well, with the technical definitions, all you need is precision, and accuracy can be solved for by adjusting the sights accordingly. So, for firearms use, precision is almost always what is being referred to.
smittywjmj Miniguns are way more often used for suppressive fire though. A guy firing a gun at 6000 rpm from a helicopter is sure to keep a fairly large area of enemy heads down, enough to give your allies a breather. In this respect it's not entirely necessary to accurately aim, since if the enemy moves from behind cover they take a huge risk of being clipped by an (unintendedly aimed) minigun bullet.
LtCWest it's an exoskeleton that has armor plates on it. that's power armor imo and i did say that they're developing, not finished and testing. also, thor (or what's it called) exoskeleton isn't power armor, it's just a skeleton made so soldiers wouldn't become tired as often and it'd increase carying capacity and endurance
I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and this is my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds."
I had read somewhere years ago. During production on the film predator...jesse Ventura had to take frequent breaks while firing this thing and his was scaled back to shoot a bit slower for the camera. The weapon is such a boss that Ventura...while at his peak of physical muscular condition...yes had his butt handed to him by a modified version of the gun
The bigger brother, the Vulkan Cannon, was capable of such recoil that the A-10 plane needed 2 engines just so the gun didn't literally cause the plane to fly backwards. The gun had more recoil than a single engine produced thrust. With 2 engines, it was possible to fire the gun.
Fun fact, GE did make a man portable variant of the minigun called the XM214 microgun with a "six pack" backpack with the battery and ammo cassettes. It was fully developed and ready for use but the army couldn't be arsed to even test it properly. It wasn't necessarily meant to be fired on the go but it might be possible given the smaller calibre and lighter weight.

You seemed to have completely skipped over the limited existence of the XM214 Microgun, a scaled down version of the M134 chambered in 5.56x45, also known as the GE Six-Pak, it was definitely man portable and useable by hand, however was completely impractical and thus never went into production... the minigun in Serious Sam is the XM214, which does mean that one is in fact not completely unrealistic.
I am actually surprised that someone else knew about this god among killing machines. Though there has been talk of using an exo system similar to what is used industrial work to be used with the current M134 to lighten the weight and recoil. I'm not sure what became of that idea.
stwcrusher
I'm gonna take a stab and guess the reason it's not a thing is because exosuits aren't really a thing yet... Not anything that could feasably see combat, anyways... we have a long ways to go before that happens.
Ya. Actually it might have evolved into the knew advanced point-man armor program (cant remember name).
***** The thing is there is no need for a man portable minigun. Way too much bullets and weight for absolutely no reason. If you want support fire you don't really need anything more than an LMG for a squadmate at an infantry level.

You may be interested to know that a company called Empty Shell are producing a weapon called the XM556 Microgun, designed to be man-portable, fire 5.56 rounds, and weighing only a little over 7 kilos unloaded.
You may not be able to fire a minigun as a man-portable weapon, but someone wanted to change that.

The video should have mentioned that while minguns in games take time to spin up and fire, in real life the spin up is barely noticeable on externally powered miniguns like M134 Minigun or XM214 Microgun. They probably do this in games and movies for effect and to level the playing field for enemies and make things challenging for the user so as not to make the game too easy (if there was no spin up time like in games, you could just go around and pop shot everyone with out waiting for a spin up making near constant firing or spinning to make it useful in a hot area)
If anything the only type of "Minigun" or multiple barrelled rotary machine gun that takes time to spin up to its full speed would be gas powered types like the russian Gsh-7.62.
The Gsh-7.62 is similiart ot he minigun in that it has multiple barrels and a similar mode of operation for firing, extracting, and loading (which also means that gas powered rotary machine guns like miniguns rarely if ever jam on a bad round).
The Gsh-7.62 is gas operated which means it uses no motors, and it doesnt take any time to spin up before firing although it does take a moment to get up to full firing speed, so you can still fire a gas powered mingun from stand still but it will fire slowly at first until its barrels spin up to full speed allowing for them to fire at their max firing rate.
The other thing worth noting is that, spin up time or no, the simple act of rotating the barrels causes them to chamber, fire and extract, meaning the only way to be able to spool up a minigun without burning ammo is to disconnect the feed somehow. As far as I know, one of the few modern games to get this aspect down is Halo, with the three-barreled turret gun firing from the moment you hit the trigger; the only issue is that it starts off at a very low RoF that only speeds up as the barrels speed up. Why the rotation is so slow to begin with we can only guess, but it's probably for the same reason as the other examples; to avoid making the thing too OP.
Matt Brine So the heavy from TF2 got it right...ish.
I played a game once where the Minigun used ammo while spinning but not firing. This seems realistic and sorta advanced. Still had a slow spin up though
Matt Brine you know they cant use it in planes because the vibrations would break it apart and the recoil would make it uncontrolable.... so they Can only use it on ground-fixed platforms
As Ahoy put it, it gets a pass by virtue of being awesome.

"Some people think they can outsmart me, maybe, maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet"
Simple, scale it down to a .22 round, 4-5 barrels instead of six (slightly lessened RPM, from 2000-6000 to
750-5000. Its defiantly possible to make a "Mini mini-gun" Just not practical.
There have been attempts. The XM214 Microgun was once such, and the army showed no interest in infantry use.
Weeb Toast actually u should do some research, the XM556 is a handheld minigun chambered in guess what (bruh the name of the gun)
9mm maybe
there IS a smaller minigun. it's called the XM556 microgun
XM 556 appears to be the gun you are looking for.
Ok first off I fully admit that running around with a minigun over any distance is absolutely absurd and unrealistic, however you absolutely CAN wield one off of a mount, I am uniquely qualified to claim this as I have actually had this opportunity in the real world with the very model of minigun listed in this video. I only got to fire 1,000 rounds with it due to cost of it, but I did it with "some" accuracy. (The target was an old car from about 60 meters if I recall) and I'd say about half of the rounds hit the mark. I was stationary while firing, but I was carrying it. You need to be a strong/big guy (Much like the heroic characters in video games.) to carry one, and not need to walk around carrying it, but it can be done.
Oh, and yes it gives you the feeling of being unstoppable like nothing else.
John Mclain XM556 handheld minigun
I sincerely doubt it, since it's at least 2000RPM of 7.62x51mm you're talking about. I remember well the footage of the making of of one of the Resident Evil movies (which are shit) that the actor playing Nemesis, a very tall, very bulky guy at that, was launched back from his 15Kg arm attached rotary machinegun firing blanks.
But then again, the M134 is a 40kg piece of equipment, and I don't doubt you can lift it at all. That must mitigate a lot of the recoil.
Anyways, if you're telling the truth, boy that must have been AWESOME.
I wish I still had the video my father took of me using it, sadly it was never backed up, then the camcorder got stolen out of his work truck. I don't know the exact type of minigun it was I got to use, but it wasn't as huge as you might think, it weighed about 50% more than a Armalite .50 cal bolt action, which is definitely heavy, and while I wouldn't describe it as a very "controllable" weapon, you can definitely accurately aim it to land most shots at something the size of a car or so from a modest distance. The one I used had a tripod you were able to fire it from, but I had the option of holding it terminator 2 style. (It was a fair bit smaller than the one in the movie btw)
How in the world did you get a Vulcan?
many places. just look it up "Minigun for sale"
the exact reason for development of M134 was infact that in Vietnam war us air force had no idea where To shoot at as NVA troops were so good at hiding in the jungle. so they figured out that they didnt need To see Charlie, they simply dumped as many rounds into the woods from air as possible and got back To Base To refit the aircraft. for example AC-47 was made solely for this purpose; a old C-47 with M134's sticking out of almost every window. they circled the supposed NVA positions at night and just sprayed the living shit out of everything down there, without even knowing if there was any NVA down there. To me that sounds as american as it can get, and great fun for gunners
And lots of napalm. Don't forget the napalm.

What is interesting is the Minigun is actually more accurate than a normal machine gun, due to the barrels compensating for the recoil, according to Future Weapons. An awesomely powerful weapon, designed for destruction.
Recoil compensation does not have an effect on accuracy of a weapon, unless referring to accuracy over sustained fire. Recoil and accuracy are 2 different things: Accuracy refers to the grouping of a given number of shots down a certain range to test a weapon's precision in firing. Recoil is jerking action, typically upwards, from firing a conventional weapon rapidly.
A normal, fixed-barrel machine gun is going to be just as if not more accurate due to caliber available and fixed-barrel design.
Maybe what the show claimed was that during sustained fire, the minigun was more accurate. A single barreled machine gun will be as accurate otherwise, but not during sustained fire.
One issue I do see with the minigun's accuracy compared to a machine gun's is its barrel length. The minigun's barrel is shorter, theoretically making for less accuracy.
***** Machine guns are almost never select-fire, and are designed to be used in short bursts at the least, long bursts at the most. So recoil compensation absolutely has an effect on accuracy when you're talking about machine guns.
Also the barrels on the M134 (or GAU-2/A or GAU-2B/A or Mk 25 Mod 0, depending on branch) are 22", about the length of your standard hunting rifle barrel. It's enough for a 7.62mm round to stabilize and reach a good velocity. I also believe that some variants, like the US Air Force's GAU-17/A, have slightly longer barrels.
Accuracy in the context hear may be more colloquial than its technical use, too. Accuracy and precision are colloquially used as synonyms, but in technical context they have distinctly different meanings. A weapon that is accurate lands all of its shots equal distance from the target, but many of these shots may not be very close to the bullseye. As long as the average position of the shots is roughly the bullseye, then it's considered accurate.
Precision, on the other hand, is about grouping. If you have a tight grouping, then a weapon is considered precise, even if the grouping isn't near the bullseye.
The most desirable is obviously a weapon that is both precise and accurate, this means that all of the shots form a tight grouping very close to the bullseye.
sonicpsycho13 Well, with the technical definitions, all you need is precision, and accuracy can be solved for by adjusting the sights accordingly. So, for firearms use, precision is almost always what is being referred to.
smittywjmj Miniguns are way more often used for suppressive fire though. A guy firing a gun at 6000 rpm from a helicopter is sure to keep a fairly large area of enemy heads down, enough to give your allies a breather. In this respect it's not entirely necessary to accurately aim, since if the enemy moves from behind cover they take a huge risk of being clipped by an (unintendedly aimed) minigun bullet.

I had read somewhere years ago. During production on the film predator...jesse Ventura had to take frequent breaks while firing this thing and his was scaled back to shoot a bit slower for the camera. The weapon is such a boss that Ventura...while at his peak of physical muscular condition...yes had his butt handed to him by a modified version of the gun
The bigger brother, the Vulkan Cannon, was capable of such recoil that the A-10 plane needed 2 engines just so the gun didn't literally cause the plane to fly backwards. The gun had more recoil than a single engine produced thrust. With 2 engines, it was possible to fire the gun.

Fun fact, GE did make a man portable variant of the minigun called the XM214 microgun with a "six pack" backpack with the battery and ammo cassettes. It was fully developed and ready for use but the army couldn't be arsed to even test it properly.
It wasn't necessarily meant to be fired on the go but it might be possible given the smaller calibre and lighter weight.
