    Funnily though, probably more ammo shot off there than the Australian defence force could ever afford!

    lol, sweet....i remember reading in something like zoo mag that there's this "festival" in some southern state over in the US every year where people can rock up and pay to fire off some rounds of really intense weapons like this one. im really sketchy on details, but i just remember thinking at the time that would be so much fun to do....they had all sort of crazy stuff to use, even the good ol' flame thrower.

    Its called the Dry Creek Machine Gun Shoot in northern arizona.

    The rifle that bloke gets blown back with is firing a round called the .557 (14.14 mm in diameter!) Tyrannosaur 750 grain (48.6 grams) bullet. Basically used for exotic hunting like elephant and other massive animals. The round with the casing on is around 5 inches long.

    The gattling gun in the video is most commony called a mini gun. Mini because it was originally made for helicopters, being the smallest weapon on the chopper, hence mini gun. It fires at 6000 rounds per minute firing 7.62 rounds (.308)

    I love my guns...

    You mean the M82 Berrett Light Fifty? A company called Berrett.

    A rather crazy rifle. Maximum effective range of 1800 meters!

    The M82 .50 cal is an anti-material rifle which most of the time is used to detonate unexploded bombs which are too dangerous to approach normally. Theyre also used to disable vehicles by destroying the engine block. Not really made for shooting people. In the case of destroying ordinance, they will take the rifle to the target, disable the ordinance and leave the rifle as its too heavy to carry back (15 kg's). A $10,000 rifle is nothing compared to a million dollars worth of destroyed ordinace.

    If your in america you can own one for around $10,000 U.S....



    Here you go, watch the power of an m82.

    This one is with armour piercing incindary rounds. Very interesting. Weapons training video made by the marine corps. Check out the size of the primary rounds!

    Some random stuff about Gatling guns:

    They are an old invention, like US civil war era.

    They were rediscovered as a solution to the reduced target times allowed by increases in aircraft speeds after WW2 ie. with the advent of jet engines. Development was begun by 'borrowing' a civil war museum piece and attaching an electric motor (it originally being operated by a hand crank - the firing/loading is done using a cylindrical cam, similar to sequentially operated car and 'bike gearboxes).

    There is (or was) a smaller, hand held (!!??), 5.56mm version, as seen in the film Predator.

    i remember reading that handheld gattling guns are impossible to make because of the power required, the weight of them, and the recoil of the weapon
