3D printed Blaster faster than the REAL Minigun??

  • I wondered how fast a Blaster with Gatling-Mechanics could shoot, so DIY style I built my own.
    Now I improved my minigun so it can shoot faster than any Blaster (Nerf, X-Shot, Custom Ones etc) and even faster than the real M134 Minigun - this is really crazy fast!
    Stay tuned for further content where I improve my minigun and where I will communicate how my Blaster can be bought

    I would love to see explanations of all the technical complications! I can think of a couple, like the barrel length, feeding and decoupling the belt, and also having an actuator that can run that fast. But I would love an in-depth explanation of those and any other hidden things I couldn't think of!

    I know that picking stuff up is kind of the spirit of nerf, but I think it would be really neat to have a system that can take the empty "rounds" and feed them back into the ammo box, like the GAU-8 does. That would get rid of all the mess of the links.
