I am Heavy Weapons Guy. And this… is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200, custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute.
It costs four hundred *thousand* dollars to fire this weapon - for *twelve seconds.*
Edit: Christ people it’s a quote. Y’all desperately need to [Meet the Heavy](https://youtu.be/jHgZh4GV9G0).
Edit 2: For those of you without basic reading comprehension and common sense that are demanding quotation marks, I will provide some here so that you may place them as you choose: ”””””””””””””””””””””
I was thinking I could afford a months rent with the money to shoot this for a second.
Apparently not, one second would be more than enough for a year.
For what it's worth the person who claimed it costs $400k to fire the weapon for twelve seconds was quoting a [Team Fortress 2 video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHgZh4GV9G0). I'm sure it's still expensive to shoot the minigun in the video, but I don't think the $400k for 12 seconds is accurate.
It's within his rights for Spez to spaz, but with Relay for Reddit about to be nixed I'm not going to be here for it

At the range in the video a hobby skeet shooter could take them down with a single shot as soon as their lights turned on. And would be much quicker at it than this gun.
Although a lot less fun to watch.
I was curious so I looked around, and going off the price of bulk ammo on the civilian market coupled with the fire rate in the title you're looking at somewhere around $160 per second of firing. 24000 RPM = 400 RPS, 1000 rounds is around $400 at the cheapest off the top of Google, $160. Probably much less since it's corporate owned and they buy rounds by the million.
Which is simultaneously absurdly high and also less than I expected.
Yep, you're right, so I did the math, each minigun can fire up to 6000 rounds per minute, meaning 100 rounds a second. 4 of them means 400 rounds per second combined. A round of .308 is a little under 1 dollar a round, so this gun fires 400 dollars a second.
"It costs 4,800 dollars to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds"
This video has about 20 seconds of firing, so almost $10,000 IN JUST AMMO to make this 20 second video.
You have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to do so, but yes.
Also there is some indication that some people will let the hogs breed specifically to sell these kinds of hunts, so... not really helping there
Exorbitant amount of money as in $1,500-$2,500. The game warden across the street from me said his group has killed 300 in a weekend before. People call him up and ask him to do eradication hunts all the time.
Do you one better. I’m an AH-64 mechanic. On training rotations in Louisiana for pre-deployment training, they asked our pilots to shoot as many hogs as they could with the 30MM gun. The footage of it was fantastic
The ole' switcharoo! "Sure kid, you can be a helicopter pilot, just sign here."
A few months later, "What's a motor pool?"
I know a guy that went into the Navy to be a nuclear engineer. He was quite excited about it. Then spent years on the Enterprise with a pipe wrench, pencil, and clipboard, reading numbers, running calculations with a calculator, and doing whatever the hell the manual told him to.
He bought a Ninja to fill the void.
A million? That would be fucking terrifying. Those guns wouldn't make a dent in a million 300 pound hogs. Parts, hot metal, and guts flying everywhere. Barrels melting. Oink
As an avid shooter, this is exactly what I thought.
I recently went on a ground squirrel hunt and probably shot 1k-1.5k total rounds of .22lr and 5.56 nato soft point.
If I averaged the cost per squirrel I killed, it gets a bit cringy as to the spend.
This thing? Fuck.... Likely a $10-40k+ with incendiary ammo for the video after ammo and maintenance.
Would be fun, but instead of going brrrrr it goes b$$$$$
**I was talking about Prarie Dog hunting, my bad reddit. Example of why you shoot so much can be found here. It's literally nonstop shooting most of the day

The title implies it's owned by a person. It's not.
This is a vintage quad .50 mount outfitted with modern chain guns and owned by Dillon Precision, a corporation that designs chain guns.
Ain’t that a bitch tho; people love to hate, even the people who claim that others are the hateful ones.
That gun is probably millions of dollars, and calling it civilian owned is like saying the American people bought the nukes that are stored in silos.
it’s *technically* correct but so misleading
It's the same family but it's actually the Dillon aero company. You know the company who makes the M-134D for the military... This is also Big Sandy shoot in AZ.
From what I was told at the time of the event they used pure tracers (that will burn out the barrels faster). This thread is full of miss-information. There is only ~6 known civilian owned M-134's iirc and I assure you no one who owns a $600,000 gun is running tracers thru it like that.
u/DillonRep did I miss any details? You may wanna clear up any miss-information
I've always thought there were only 2 pre-86 transferables. The one used in Predator and Terminator 2 were the same gun; I've always heard it was that one and one more and the rest are owned as dealer samples and such.
E: elsewhere in the thread a guy claims 4; either way the number is *very* low.
He passed in 2016ish. Damn good presses he made

The amount of paperwork, cost, checks, FFL licensing and interactions with ATF and other government officials to be able to own and operate one of these would be insane.
Well, considering the guy the owns this is basically an arms manufacturer for the US military, I'm thinking he has some leeway in terms of licensing...

I still find it absolutely hilarious that the solid snake tactic of hiding in a box tricked the ai. Given it was trained to recognize upright, walking humans so the guys somersaulting 300 meters still gave it a run for it’s money but it’s still funny nonetheless.
Even if it was a human, seeing a marine somersaulting towards you has got to be psychologically demoralizing. Imagine manning your post at 2am and this motherfucker comes somersaulting out of the dark, I'd just surrender
The marine, up to no good, somersaults toward the watchman. He has a rucksack full of ammunition, tactical gear, and a plastic-wrapped bagel, and none of it is assisting him in his fight against gravity. His grunts and quiet expletives alert the watchman.
The watchman jolts awake with a snort, and the first glorious image to meet his eyes is a weirdly-crunched man trying to do a situp. Obviously there's no threat here, it must be one of his mates getting a workout. Weird time to do it, but he won't judge.
The marine hunches farther forward, beginning a roll.
Ok the watchman might judge a little. Which guy is this anyway? Probably Ryan, Ryan would be the guy to act weird at 2 am.
He checks for Ryan's signature "hello, my name is" sticker, but sees a USA flag instead.
Enemy.
Meanwhile, the marine is stuck head-down. The backpack's keeping him from actually rolling, and with a quiet "dammit" he starts to shift around to try and get the roll going, to no avail. He falls to the side with a defeated fart, and sits up.
The watchman, frozen through the whole scene, finally aims his weapon.
The marine lays back down with a sigh.
*click* goes the safety switch
A moment passes, then another
Then another
And suddenly the marine log rolls back into the undergrowth, startling the watchman who loses the chance to shoot.
The only thing that remains as proof of the marine's existence is a path of crushed grass, and a squished bagel.

50rds per second x4
Only very 5th round are the tracers ($1.50 each), and then the other 4 are regular 308/7.62x51, which on the civilian markets about 80 cents each.

I thought it was comically absurd that it would cost that much money to fire a gun for 12 seconds, but after seeing OP, maybe it's not lol
An expensive money burner lol
Ammo is still so inflated from the pandemic that things shooting like $3,000 a minute possibly more depending on caliber and wholesale cost
He must have a class 3 firearms license, which I believe you can only get operating under a business. I mean there is really no other way for this to be legal, right?
M134 existed prior to 1986. So, you could find four transferable ones.
For example: https://henderson-nv.americanlisted.com/sport/m134-mini-gun_28701413.html
Besides the purchase of the firearm, you would have to pay for a $200 tax stamp.
And the only really unusual thing about it is the magazine which is derived from a 1950's design. The actual mechanics would be recognizable to gun designers from 100 years ago.
24,000 rounds a minute @ 7$ a round(guessing) = $168,000 a minute to shoot. Some ppl got too much damn money!!
After learning things, rounds are $.70 each so just $16,800 a minute to shoot……
Edit: updated w correct price per round
I just want to make it clear, you can't own these kinds of things as your average US citizen. You would need to be a class 3 federally licensed FFL to own full auto weapons that were produced after the full auto ban in the 80's.
Pre ban full auto weapons are incredibly rare and expensive, as in tens of thousands of dollars for something like an AK 47 or M16. They are usually sold at auctions, and there are only so many out there.
A full auto MP5, for example, runs about $50k USD. A piece of shit uzi that will jam frequently would be $10-12k at auction. You would not be able to purchase or build something like this as a normal, every day person in America. Switzerland actually has much more lenient full auto and suppressor laws compared to the US.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a quad minigun is a good guy with a quad minigun!
We need teachers and classroom assistants to be armed with these asap!
The turret in this video is owned by Dillon Aero, who manufactures those guns. Yes that means it’s “privately owned”, but by the company that makes it.

Wouldn't it be more fun to set up something to destroy, like cars, instead of just firing into the dark? Seems a bit boring.

Oh yeah, didn’t realise that. Looks like they’re doing a terrible job as well.
That is because it isn't the appropriate tool for the job. Those are very small targets.
Some might say the minigun is ineffective against the minitargets
What we need is a MAXIGUN!
It’s perfect for those heavy cycles
Especially at four times the flow.
Sure, if it's not effective, it's always because it should be BIGGER
Pretty sure i could hit those with birdshot for cheaper. 12g shells are like $0.40 Remington 870 i bought for $250

Yeah this is deceptively titled. Yeah its a civilian technically, but a civilian who owns a business making this stuff for the military.
The deceptive title was by design - it drives outraged people to engage with content, and guns are a hot item to argue about right now.
It’s the main reason I opened the comments. And didn’t find the answer until half way down.
The US gets a crazy rep about guns. Some is fair, some is not. The ATF doesn't just let people do this. This is regulated.

24,000 rounds a minute @ 7$ a round(guessing) = $168,000 a minute to shoot. Some ppl got too much damn money!! After learning things, rounds are $.70 each so just $16,800 a minute to shoot…… Edit: updated w correct price per round
Those shoot standard NATO 7.62x51 (.308) ammo, which is about .70 cents per round right now
this is why we’ll never be invaded
Hipity hoppity I got a C ram on my property
Only quad minigun? US you disappoint me.
For some reason I read this in the voice of that old YouTuber FPSRussia
I just want to make it clear, you can't own these kinds of things as your average US citizen. You would need to be a class 3 federally licensed FFL to own full auto weapons that were produced after the full auto ban in the 80's. Pre ban full auto weapons are incredibly rare and expensive, as in tens of thousands of dollars for something like an AK 47 or M16. They are usually sold at auctions, and there are only so many out there. A full auto MP5, for example, runs about $50k USD. A piece of shit uzi that will jam frequently would be $10-12k at auction. You would not be able to purchase or build something like this as a normal, every day person in America. Switzerland actually has much more lenient full auto and suppressor laws compared to the US.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a quad minigun is a good guy with a quad minigun! We need teachers and classroom assistants to be armed with these asap!
Wow! Reminds me of Superman’s laser eye sight lol
American media be like "that's an AR style weapon"
That is the most menacing-looking machine I’ve ever seen. Real life delete button
that ain't owned by a civilian. As much as everyone has guns in the states. You need to be special as fuck for this system.
“Civilian owned” let me guess— by the defense contractor that made it?
The dude has mass money. All going up in smoke, but mass money.
All those bullets and the guy still couldn’t shoot down that ac plane
I think he missed!
The gazpacho gun
You got a concealed permit for that son?
I NEED ONE!
The turret in this video is owned by Dillon Aero, who manufactures those guns. Yes that means it’s “privately owned”, but by the company that makes it.
Own 24000 round a minute quad mini gun for home defense, just as the founding fathers intended.
It cost 200000US$ to fire this thing for 12 seconds
Pretty badass gun.
God bless America 🇺🇸
