First thing what hit me while watching that was: "That gun is a size of a guys arm, muzzle flash is 'only' slightly bigger than the gun itself and theres absolutely NO whizzing and sizzing when it starts to fire. And then theres hundred shooting games where you got minigun twice this size, muzzle flash and lightnings are massively over-done and sounds have ten times more bass - yet still most of those feel like a water pistol when comparing to this tiny thing on car."
And when watching how the car is being shredded, sparks are flying and box o' bullets is emptied in desert - I wonder how the hell can you shoot 50+ bullets on other combatants in any game and still theres only sparks flying from him while jumping around and instakilling with sniper rifle <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
you comparing computer games with the reality...uhm... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
the m134 actually fires so fast you almost cant even hear the single shots.... it sounds more like a engine without exhaust pipe
its loud....
its fast...
and its deadly...
its the army way.... dont shoot accurate,but as much as possible in the shortest ammount of time
Well... yeah, Im comparing real life and games. Dunno why. Theres alot of things this morning I dont know why im doing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> Just a passing thought about how miniguns suck in games. And rocket launchers too.

Rocket Launchers don't suck if you shoot more than one rocket at a time. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I once made a HL mod that featured a realistic minigun... you could barely walk with it and it slowed you down plenty (plus it was hard to swing about) but if you wanted someone to die you just aimed in their general direction and watched the area turn black with bullet decals ^^;
<b>edit:</b> well, ok... semi-realistic, after all it was being fired by people running around in power armour after all =P
yeah..and metal storm is very limmited on ammo,so the firing rate is only theoretical... a m134 could fire without pause when you use the unlinked feeding mechanism and a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge ammodrum (or container <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )you would be able to reload it when firing. maybe you would need a additional watercooling system for the barells. aaarrrr.... nm
I'm still questioning myself, if we have enough firepower to destroy earth multiple times, the standard M16, AK, FAMAS, you-name-it, or even a handgun can kill an individual quite efficiently enough, why do we even bother advancing weaponry so much?
The whole humanity's arsenal would be much more than sufficient with 1 handgun, 1 rifle, 1 sub machine gun, 1 long range rifle (sniper) 1 anti-material (that's against structures/vehicles) weapon, etc.
We can kill already more than plenty with a handgun. Why do we NEED such advanced weaponry, while if you watch some people are starving and are in dire need of help, while we waste money on more efficient killing instead of going for an overall better solution.

You say that all of humanity would be fine with those few guns? I think not. The people who don't get them would be kind of screwed should the country with the guns decide to go war.
