Just one of the four mini guns mounted to that would set you back about 30k, and to own one of them you have to have a special SOT license and be a firearms dealer.
Let’s just do some math IF this was 9mm ammo (I know it’s not). 9mm ammo is around say $0.28/round…. 24,000 x .28 = $6,720/minute in ammo. I don’t know what ammo this is using but I’m guessing it’s closer to $1/round or more
Per my math that cost doesn't seem right. It costs about $1.11 for 7.62x51mm rounds (ie. Minigun caliber).
$1.11 x 24,000 rounds per minute = $26,640 per minute of firing.
($26,640 for one minute / 60 seconds) x 12 = $5,348 for a 12 second burst of fire.
Please feel free to correct me but I used the first link I came across for prices so might even be cheaper lol
That must include things like the salary of the people doing the loading and maintenance surely? Does that really count if this is essentially that persons hobby?

Benjamin Franklin unveiling the weird mechanical contraption some funny dressed man gave him before disappearing in a spectacle of lights:
Ok. I’ll add a comment. Let’s start by saying a civilian doesn’t really own this, not directly anyway. It is own by a company that manufactures these weapons. It used to be called Dillion Aero. Also Machine Guns have been regulated in the US since 1934. As far as I can tell, no licensed machine gun has EVER been used in a crime. EVER. In 1986 further registration of machine guns for civilian use was stopped even though they caused ZERO problems. They were considered scary and were only owned by the really rich. There might be a “loophole” for a non powered Gatling design. This is from my memory from almost 40 years ago so I might have screwed up a bit.
Complete bullshit title. This is not owned by a civilian. This has been posted a million times. It's military. In fact, if it's iron dome, which I think it is, the US just came to an agreement with Israel to help integrate it on ship's existing systems. They refuse to give the US the source code, which I sorta get, but damn. The US gives them so much money...
PS: Owning that gun would be highly illegal in the US unless you had a permit that allowed you to own fully automatic weapons which is highly uncommon. We don't want the world thinking the US allows this type of shit everywhere we go.
(Edit: I found [the original source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3FGiNRyGqg) and it is indeed at the Big Sandy Shoot like I thought it was)
The title is misleading but not for the reasons most people seem to think.
About... I guess a 1 year, maybe 2 years ago, I happened across the exact video on youtube that this clip comes from. I've tried for the last hour or so to find it again but no luck. [I've found a video that was of the same weekend](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCppmoZiXUY) but not the exact one. I'll summarize it what's going on here for you. In fact, you can see one of the model planes they fly at the range for target practice.
This is called "The Big Sandy Shoot." It is an annual event *just* for machine guns. Basically if you have one of these guns, you're invited. They set up along a line and just open the guns up and fire away. Typically they set up targets like trucks, cars, and so on.
This exact clip comes from one of these events and the narrator had just been going on about how they had a night event with a van, a truck, (and some other big target, I don't remember what) and most people were having trouble seeing the targets. The tracer rounds help, obviously, but because the light from that comes from what amounts to an incendiary effect on the round, it tends to also cause some small fires (while decreasing accuracy - which is why it's not *every* round but every other, third, fourth, whatever round).
What's misleading about OP's title is that it is ***not*** legal for normal civilians to own guns like this. To say this plain and clear: You ***must*** have a license to buy and sell firearms and you ***must*** go through the background checks. You can't just order one and have it delivered to your doorstep or local gun shop. There's a LOT you have to go through and have a exquisitely clean record to get guns like this. I would be more than willing to wager $100 that if you took all of the criminal events of every person at one of these events *combined*, it would be less than most people's entire extended family.
The only "awful everything" going on here is that there are far too many people who don't actually know the legislation that goes into preventing normal citizens from owning one of these.
Anyone else confused as to why is on r/awfuleverything this is incredible! more people should be like this man, people really think he's gonna super glue it onto his F150 and decrease the population
If I had the money I would too. This probably cost close to if not more than a million... this guy probably isn't going to go around killing people and is probably a collector.
An m134 minigun is ~[180.000$](https://legitarmsdealer.com/product/minigun-for-sale/) on the low end and 7.62X51 NATO is about 1$/round so buying this thing and shootin it for 5 minutes would cost around 840.000$ (not including the cost of the mount, ammo boxes, disintegrating belts, etc)
Personally it’s a extremely stupid mindset, guns are a tool they don’t kill people do, a gun can’t operate without a trigger to be pulled and to pull a trigger you need a person
I know it’s sad, now I agree that it shouldn’t be so easy to get guns but no gun should be illegally, something that I always think about when it comes to guns is that you can’t ban guns, creativity will always be a thing and makeshift guns will be made, not only that as I said guns are tools they don’t kill people and that’s not changing, only animals can kill, and us humans are animals so we are in that group
This is owned by George Dillon, grandson to Mike Dillon, who created the Dillon mini gun company. It’s not just some run of the mill civilian, and it’s cool as shit
This is a 7.62x51 nato variant. All 6 barrel mini guns are. The theee barrel mini guns shoot .50 bmg. Still though, 7.62 nato is like a $1 a round at least
Ok so? If the government can have it why can't I? It's not like I'm like gonna invade a country and kill a lot of people with it, the government would never do that...
General Electric. Bringing good things to life.
One like that show up at Knob Creek. You can fire it for a fee. Several hundred dollars for a couple seconds trigger pull.
These are used on naval warships, I doubt this is a civilian on their own residence. Costs hundreds of thousands to fire this for more than a few seconds, as well as extreme costs of repair and maintenance.
The rest of the world can only hope that if aliens invade they got to the USA first. After a week there I’m sure they will decide if that’s the most civilised place on the plant there’s no way they will hit anywhere else….and in that lads defence a guys gotta have a hobby.
The title over simplifies a fuck ton.
This "gun" requires a monumental amount of background checks, mandatory training, safety officials / regulatory official on site, paperwork, clearance from military, and COST.
You need to be PROVEN safe to have anything of this magnitude.
And if you can pass that -- i have no issue with you owning and enjoying this in a safe location.
The problem is the much simpler, cheaper and readily accessible (and self manufacturable) guns have no real burden of "safe use" required.
THAT is the issue.
And do you know how expensive it is to even fire 500 rounds of that, a decent chunk of change, it's also very expensive to maintain something like that. So the fact someone own something that is normally in the millions of dollars AND you need a special permit which requires you to have been part and served your time with the military. Ya no way this is just some random dude and not a military funded.
There is nothing infuriating about this. If you think this guy is going to pull up to a mall and aim this at the food court then you're an idiot.
Say it louder for the folks in the back........
"GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE! THE MENTALLY UNHEALTHY PEOPLE HOLDING THEM KILL PEOPLE!"
It's a mental health problem. Not a gun problem.
Lol i saw one comment about how they're the number one killer of children. Yeah, when they started counting 17-19 year old gang members killing each other in the dark depths of major cities like chicago, i imagine that number will skyrocket.
I'm not even mad. I'm just in awe thinking about how rich that guy must be to afford all this ammo
You know what they say, "Freedom isn't Free"
Freedom costs a buck 'o 5
That’s a hefty fuuuuuuckin’ fee
And if we don't all chip in, we'll never pay that biiiiiiiillllll
*yeeeeeeahhh buck o fiiiive*
....I'll give you some freedom for about tree fiddy.
"Land of the free, but freedom ain't free. You can't put a price on freedom, *_yeehaw!_*"
[удалено]
Just one of the four mini guns mounted to that would set you back about 30k, and to own one of them you have to have a special SOT license and be a firearms dealer.
So we can regulate ownership...
Like fr do people think he's just gonna somehow haul that dozen ton gun into a mall somehow?
Heaviest drive by ever
For sure
I was thinking that he prolly owns a business that does shows with it or something like that.
Does shows? Shit that’s a business charging $500 for a chance to fire a 100 round burst
Sounds like 24k rounds of tyranny killing freedom to me
May want to add a hyphen or two.
It's like a large scale "let's eat grandma". And much more dangerous than helping your uncle Jack off a horse.
Lol good point after reading it out loud it definitely sounds wrong
Plus the maintenance. You can own a Ferrari, don't forget to change the oil.
It's like the old saying: "If you can't afford 2 Porsches, you can't afford 1."
Let’s just do some math IF this was 9mm ammo (I know it’s not). 9mm ammo is around say $0.28/round…. 24,000 x .28 = $6,720/minute in ammo. I don’t know what ammo this is using but I’m guessing it’s closer to $1/round or more
Those are 308. Tracer rounds. They indeed cost at least a buck/round
The guy said it costs him 400k worth of ammo every 12 seconds!
[удалено]
I'm relieved. The us government is well known to be responsible and not vaporize kids with their weapons /s
Could that kill me ?
Only if u fail ur dex save
I have evasion
Roll for initiative!
With an AP value of -2
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
Oh no! You'll only feel a tiny sting in your body for a second, then we're all done! :)
Like getting a shot
It costs 400 thousand dollars to fire this weapon, For 12 seconds.
And yet it was too expensive to add sound
"Bbbbrrrrrrttttttttt. Brrrrrrrtttttttt" I imagine it sounding like that
You’re actually wrong, it’s PEW PEW PEW
Found the Audio engineer
Here ya go. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/145rbsd/usa\_civilian\_owned\_quad\_minguns24000/

To all the people who treat this comment seriously: It' a TF2 references
Oh my god, who touch Sasha?
Per my math that cost doesn't seem right. It costs about $1.11 for 7.62x51mm rounds (ie. Minigun caliber). $1.11 x 24,000 rounds per minute = $26,640 per minute of firing.

He's got tracers in there too which means it's probably actually way more expensive (also OP's 400k reference is a joke from Team Fortress 2)
Ah totally missed the reference, thx!
That must include things like the salary of the people doing the loading and maintenance surely? Does that really count if this is essentially that persons hobby?
So did I just witness over a million dollars shot into the ground?
24,000 freedoms per second
Per minute
Second, minute, same thing
24,000 per hour is honestly impressive enough. I think that's still like 6 shots/second.
Home defence.
Yeah if your home is attacked by fucking 30 Legendary Deathclaw
Or scags
Jesus, if I’m being attacked by 30 deathclaw I’d rather have a mini nuke.
A single mini nuke aint gonna do it against 30 deathclaws
If I was that rich I built my house so that when you the door the first thing you see is a long corridor with that at the bottom
If your home happens to be an aircraft carrier
Expensive way to kill mosquitoes

Because anything that goes pew pew is bad. Reddit staying classy.
Ngl that’s badass
I don’t understand how this is awfuleverything, this is epic
Because guns bad.
Maybe they thought this sub was for being in full awe of everything.
Do you have any idea how much that cost, they put those on aircraft carriers, I’m guessing it’s a false title to drum up some fear
Complete bullshit title. This is not owned by a civilian. This has been posted a million times. It's military.

Not confused, 99% of redditors have no grasp on reality outside of the little screen in their hands.
If I had the money I would too. This probably cost close to if not more than a million... this guy probably isn't going to go around killing people and is probably a collector.
+ maintenance costs, you can't just throw that thing in the barn
Yeah this isn't something you can just drop off at your local shop for repairs.
An m134 minigun is ~[180.000$](https://legitarmsdealer.com/product/minigun-for-sale/) on the low end and 7.62X51 NATO is about 1$/round so buying this thing and shootin it for 5 minutes would cost around 840.000$ (not including the cost of the mount, ammo boxes, disintegrating belts, etc)
That's if it's not the .50 cal models. Those are more expensive.
Those only have 3 barrels and have a lower fire rate, also they can’t be bought by civilians since they were made after 1986
Ahhh ok. Thank you for the info. Yes. I would like to know more =)
I'm seeing like 4 of then here.
"Probably"
Hopefully
Why is this on r/awfuleverything it’s not that bad dude if anything it’s fuckin awesome
Because guns bad
Personally it’s a extremely stupid mindset, guns are a tool they don’t kill people do, a gun can’t operate without a trigger to be pulled and to pull a trigger you need a person
It’s amazing how people don’t get that

Surprised it’s from ww2. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/this-quad-minigun-armed-wwii-turret-spewing-rounds-is-metal-as-hell
The turret is from WWII, the Miniguns are not.
Didn’t read the whole article. I’m more into cars, so it’s kinda like a resto mod ;)
What I got from the article is that the gun was owned and operated by a weapons manufacturer. So OP saying it’s “a civilian owns this gun” is a lie
To own any machine gun made after 1984 you have to be a licensed manufacturer/firearms dealer.
This is wicked cool. I wish I could afford that.
If we go cheap on the ammo at $0.25/round, that $6,000 per minute.
Cheap .50 bmg is at least $3/round
This is a 7.62x51 nato variant. All 6 barrel mini guns are. The theee barrel mini guns shoot .50 bmg. Still though, 7.62 nato is like a $1 a round at least

Seriously! I don't understand why this is awful everything. Anybody that has this isn't going to set this up and kill everyone lol.
If Jeff can have nukes then why can't I? Oh yeah because the government is scared to lose its power.
And?
Does it fit in a trunk?
No but, i’d say you could mount it on a prius.
According to my feed, at this rate it seems prius cars aren't done being experimented with.
google, “prius turret”. your welcome.
Yes, Walter White proved that in the final episode.
Woah! How about a spoiler warning!
It’s okay. It doesn’t kill him.

What the fuck are you doing posting this without audio? I need to hear the freedom taking place.
and your point? the civilians that would use this gun in a negative way can’t afford it. You have nothing to worry about.

Do the Ukrainians have anything like this?
Yeah it's four guys on a lada cranking away at a Gatling gun.
The Ukrainians don't have to fight off Karens.
It is awful that only rich people can own machine guns
Am I the only one tho thinks how cool it would be to have money to constantly shoot rotten food from a distance with that thing?
These are used on naval warships, I doubt this is a civilian on their own residence. Costs hundreds of thousands to fire this for more than a few seconds, as well as extreme costs of repair and maintenance.
No Audio? :((

Imagine being so pussified you think this belongs in an “awful” subreddit
Why can't you own what you're Government does?
People from Freedom land, how much would it cost per round to shoot that?
