    When news of the Echo1 minigun came out a few months back everyone (including me) assumed it would be a relatively cheap affair. Guess not...

    Oh well...

    Highly impractical for skirmishing but still want one :)

    It's too much for one person to put in for - but a team or site (for specific scenarios) and you could be on to something...

    There is of course the running costs ... logic being that if you can afford to buy one, you can afford to run it.

    No not necessarily someone could save up buy it and then feel like a muppet because they cant use it until they get enough money to use one and then we can all point and laugh:D

    Sure he could run around and get ''bang'' kills, actually no you wouldn't be running, the thing weights 18kg.:D Someone make a lego midstorms kit for it and turn it into a sentry gun, it would like playing Golden Eye on the N64.

    One of my mates made his own airsoft minugun from scratch!
    The thing rocks! lol!

    He stuck a vid of it on youtube when he finally got it working. Will poke him now and post the link in a little while.

    Here is the link! http://www.youtube.com/user/karlitog

    The guy built it himself. 25rps is plenty respectable for a DIY job. Cut him some slack.

    50rps is ok? Just ok? What ROF are you getting on your AEGs? 50 is borderline too high.

    Sexy ... would look well mounted on the "Blackhawk" in S.A.C.

    As for ROF: 50 rps sucks, needs to do 100+

    You wouldn't be saying that if you where on the receiving end.
    3,000rds per min is very respectable.

    For that price tag i'd want a gun that would make people soil themselves. 6000 rpm would do that :D

    Higher the RoF, higher the chance of malfunctions. 6k rds per min, imagine the feed jamb. You'd also need a shopping trolley to carry your day's supply of bb's.

    At 3000rpm, it'll deplete it's 1700 round magazine (of which there are no spares) in 34 seconds.
    At 6000rpm, it'll deplete it's 1700 round magazine in 17 seconds.
    I might be on my own here, but I'm willing to wait thirty-odd seconds for the user to run out of ammo.


    Oh, just to a perspective, the real one (that shoots down aircraft and is mounted on helicopters and ships) is fixed at 4000rpm, with a variable down to 2000rpm.

    But as long as you look cool and continue to get a high every time you fire it that's the important thing :D

    With some variants it's 3000 & 6000rpm.

    On Gatling guns, yes. Not on the M134a which the echo1 model is based on. Don't believe everything you read on wikipedia.

    I'll mount it to my micra, dare you to say it looks pretty silly then, when you're staring down the barrels and my finger is hovering over the trigger! :D

    i get up to 23-24 on my fastest aeg but it cost about €250 = three hours in total with all the upgrades

    i would like to think that for ten times that i'd get at least 50 so 50 is ok

    in fairness when one dual wields decent aegs they are putting out over 40rps

    so 50 rps for €2,500 is ok
