    M134 Minigun build.

    Scratch the simfire option, too complex and too complicated. Plus I cant find a system with the right rate of fire anyway. Currently working on a way to rig up a fire sound effect to my PA system. Motor is on it's way, this thing will be powered right off the truck by a 350 watt 24v dc electric...

    M134 Minigun build.

    Project should see some momentum this week, I've elected to go with 5" exhaust pipe for the body and I have sourced the drive motor as well. Next big hurtle is getting a length of 7.62 ammo feed chute ahead of building the feeder/delinker.

    M134 Minigun build.

    So I am seriously considering making this a gas sim fire replica. So far I have not been able to find a practical way of making a sim kit with the correct rate of fire, 1000 rounds per minute is as close as I can get.

    M134 Minigun build.

    Coated! Barrel assembly done. This will probably be my last post for a while as I am entering the design phase of the body, drive and mount. It will also take a while to source the material.

    M134 Minigun build.

    Cold rolled steel and one piece is aluminum.

    M134 Minigun build.

    Pretty much finished the barrel assembly today, everything went together very nicely with a few exceptions. I am very pleased with how straight everything is and how it looks when it's spinning, very nicely balanced. Each tube is an individual part, it is not continuous through the clamp...

    M134 Minigun build.

    Bringing back to life a very old thread. This project has been shelved for over three years but this week I decided to dig up all the old drawings and give it another go. The former parts were tabled in favor of a new design that will be easier to assemble. With lots of patience (and the help...

    Granite State Iron Cavalry (G.S.I.C)

    G.S.I.C Recovery Team Today's fun was pulling Adam's M813 out of a rough spot before the next snow storm. Broken front axle components suspected, the M916 barely noticed it was there. Videos don't come close to accurately portraying how steep it was, or how icy and rutted. Great teamwork today...
