daveo is right, miniguns have multiple barrels for efficiency, cooling is a benifit. the bullet drops in the top, is fired, the falls out the bottom, alot simpler than most other automatic firearms than fire modern bullets.

How big? Over 20 gallons? That's about 75 liters.

Why can’t you make a full sized Gatling cannon!?! It’s not rocket surgery, you just need to think. You should know how a Gatling gun works, if you don’t stop reading now and figure it out, replace the brass and lead with a piece of PVC with the same ID as your barrel, and in stead of a valve make a big disk that all the barrels sit in with O-rings to seal it as the barrels spin the disk lines up with an opening at the back were the air goes in, firing the gun. Thing to change from the original: firing is off to one side that way the spent round can just drop out the bottom. If you can’t figure this out GOOD, you probably don’t need one then.
Before anybody asks why I haven’t made one, I’ll tell you: I haven't made one because I have neither the time nor the money to construct such a thing. I’ve got to many irons in the fire as it is, i.e. my paintball RIFLE, my almost finished LAW, my shoulder fired water rocket launcher, and my auto cannon.
If anybody would like to build one of my designs, which would be most appreciated as long as I get at least part of the credit, please P.M. or E-mail me.

its NOT GOING TO WORK try a new concept like replaceable barrels for each shot or something cool not just another cloud or something.

I suggest a simply putting a box on top of a tube that feeds the BB's into a flowing airstream. That and put all the barrels close together like touching side to side. Just a suggestion

Dude, get over it. No such thing as a dead topic when the member that posted it is obviously still active.

Butt!! I do have access to a 300 gallon industrial compressor!

Some study of semi-auto, CO2, pellet guns and actual airsoft style miniguns might be in order here...
Personally, I don't think that a cloud or vortex block would be efficient at all as the ROF is not consistent, one shot to the next; it would be impossible to time it to work with a set of spinning barrels. An air powered minigun is no easy task to build.

First off, this topic is dead.
Second, Nate_003, I think you’re a little lost here, no offence.
Third, Matheusilla, you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head here. But as I said this topic is dead…
