Mip: Minigun

BreakfastSausages

Hi there, just getting into modeling and I figured I would share with you what ive come up with so far.

It would be a replacement for the hmg, I was inspired by Jesse Ventura's GAU-17 minigun <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> from the movie Predator. Whats good for "The Body" is good for the soul I always say ;-)

I hope you will let me know what you think about it.

it was a minigun. A vulcan is huge. The only vulcan currently in use is on the A-10 Warhog jet. There is also a difference in catridges fired.

very nice , but ain't it upsidedown?

There is no such thing as a portable minigun. The Miniguns in Predator and Terminator 2 are completely made up. The only way you could get hold of a portable one would be to rip it off the side of a Helicopter. But it'd be cool to have one, eh? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I like how it looks sort of stubby. Reminds me of the Q3F minigun.

has anyone seen the 1:1 scale airsoft vulcan minigun IRL?
its actually quite stubby and small
smaller than what i thought it would be like anyway

I am pretty sure Jesse's gun had the underside handle but yes the rear handle on mine is upside down <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I have read that his was a highly customized GAU-17 minigun which is almost exclusively mounted on Helicopters.

BTW miniguns are manufactured by General Electric. Gives a whole new meaning to their slogan:
"We bring good things to life". <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->


and surge is right, the army tried hand held miniguns after predator but determined they are too heavy and have too much kick back force.
