This may have been invented, but I just came up with the idea.

you take a gatling gun, and reduce it's size to a large pistol....it would be awsome! Would that be legal or was it already invented?

Ahhh yes, a Minigun.

Yes, invented. Yes, legal. Just.

But given the ammo load a slugthrower has, especially a handheld one, would a revolving barrel give you any advantage?

DOnt know.....I just liked the idea of it lol.

ok, now I see what you were talking about.....this is a pistol, like the size of a magnum. The revolving barrel is for faster firing. a minigun is like mini rocket launcher size right?

BTW, I am naming it the "Guardian". I figured it would keep me alive longer lol.

A proper Minigun is what Neo uses from the helicopter in the Matrix

One of the most misnamed weapons of all time

Not when compared to the massive GUA-8 (i may have arranged the letters wrong.)

Thirty feet long, and fires 30mm depleted uranium shells that are about 10 inches long (after casing has been fired).

Its the gun in the A10 Warthog.

(Knows the gun Morgan speaks of...and has seen it rip many a tank apart)

And Reysa...a SMG is *not* a minigun....2 completely different things. And if we're going with any SMG, you'll find me with either a FNP90 or a H&K MP5SD5

No...a minigun is a mechanically-fed gatling gun, which fires rifle rounds, which are elongated and generally chambered on different measures entirely.

Rifles generally fire 5.56 and 7.62 caliber, and miniguns can be chambered for anything as large as 30mm shells.

This is much different than a submachine gun, (SMG) or machine-pistol. These weapons fire pistol ammunition...whose bullets are much shorter and have far less of a powder charge. These are typically either 9mm or .45 caliber variants...although others do exist (Such as the HK MP10...developed for the FBI at Quantico). There are other obscure chamberings...but these are the standard.

Now, if you find a minigun chambered for pistol ammunition, let me know...because ONLY THEN will a minigun EVER be considered a SMG. And that's only if the weapon can be carried by a person.

Morgan hit the proverbial nail on the head with a sledgehammer. And Sanis seems to know his stuff well enough to comment.

So what was the point of posting that list? I could post a list of every firearm in existance, but that doesn't mean that I've ever actually handled any of them.

Reysa Sashara

the point on posting the list is that i was trying to tell Sanis of the ones i know off
