Minigun

[Molybdenum]

Killbucket inspired minigun.

It uses a simple motor and a vacuum cleaner belt to drive the barrel pack, which rotates around the inner barrel (the one that actually works). The motor is powered by a 9.6v Ni-Cd battery taped under the motor housing, and is activated by a simple push button switch placed so that the user can press it with his/her thumb.

Inside is a basic vortex block. BBs are fed into the chamber from the screw off cap.

Its tan 'cause that's the only color I had.

Nicely finished, shame the rotating barrels are only cosmetic.

One suggestion, why not use a small solenoid valve instead of a blowgun for the air feed? On the same circuit and switch of the barrel motor, you'd only have one trigger to pull

Wow, thats nice! Shame its tan though, it could do with a flat black paintjob and some gray "battle scars".

It's sad you couldn't make use of all the barrels
I do however congratulate you on the aesthetics, but as JSR always says "pretty is as pretty does."

It´s really hard to combine the barrel with the bbs firing out

it's a pneumatic not a firearm - there is absolutely no need for rotating barrels on a pneumatic

It cost me about $5, as most of the parts are salvaged PVC.

Shot it a bunch recently and I found that, due to barrel being supported by the barrel pack, and the barrel pack not rotating perfectly, I get about a 12in grouping at 4 feet. It also shoots quite slow both in terms of velocity and rof.

I'm not to concerned, however, as I made it for a friend who needed a minigun prop.

Took me a few weekends in the shop. probably under 5 hours of work total.
