      Perhaps gravity is the limit for
      an 8-barrelled 40mm.
      NO PROBLEM 😉 the rus say they will make a 10-barrelled 57mm Gatling gun.

    Why is it called a "mini" gun? Shouldn't it be called a "many" gun? Because it shoots "many" bullets.

      It's called a minigun because it's a miniaturized version of the 20mm Vulcan cannon, although I do agree it should be called a manygun.
