M134 Minigun -- This awesome weapon, available in 5.56mm on 7.62mm caliber, is essentially eight (sometimes six) separate guns connected to an electric motor. As the assembly rotates under electric power, each gun fires, causing a hail of bullets which spew out close to 8000 rounds per minute! Meant ro be mounted on aircraft, this monster weapon has been seen in many films being "fired from the hip." Perhaps nobody did it better than Minnesota's own Jesse "The Body" Ventura in "Predator." The gun for that movie, built by Chuck Stembridge, a noted Hollywood gun consultant was powered by a remote battery which was connected by a cable which ran down Jesse's pants leg during the filming. M240 machine gun - The M240, formally United States Machine Gun, 7.62mm, M240, is a family of belt-fed medium machine guns firing the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO cartridge (w/ M13 Link). It is based on the FN MAG machine gun which is based on the Browning Automatic Rifle.
