crump3t Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Oh hell yes. A pair of vehicle mounted M134A's anyone? :D *Detachable of course... that'd be a bit of an awkward traffic stop otherwise.* Link to post Share on other sites
BoredKender Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I plan on making a mount to go on the roll-cage of my 4-door Wrangler Link to post Share on other sites
Roanix Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I wonder what the price is going to be on this thing. Link to post Share on other sites
doull76 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 What kind of battery are those things running off? Looks almost like one of my motorcycle's batteries. Still be interesting to see specs once these come out. Link to post Share on other sites
BoredKender Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I would expect around 600. Link to post Share on other sites
benben Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Looks ace, wonder how much it weighs? Link to post Share on other sites
mikoyan99 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Looks cool, although I feel it'd be best used as a vwhicle mounted/emplced weapon rather than as a primary. Technically, does it fire through a centre barrel or does it operate more like the real thing, with the barrels spinning/firing? -Matt Link to post Share on other sites
BoredKender Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Fires out of spinning barrels, but the rumor a few months ago was that it only fired out of half of the barrels. I definitely would hard-wire it to my Jeep battery if i mounted it in there. Link to post Share on other sites
brooklyn Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 now there can be minigun games no mingun = no play if it's under 1000 i definently going to buy one iam gessing it would be between 600-950 us $. I also think that all real hard core airsoft skirmishers will be a bit upset when a of noobies go running around with these. but then yet again that’s what rules are for Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Intel from Shot suggests it will be <$1,000. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
BoredKender Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Think it can be powered from a cigarette lighter outlet without blowing the fuse to it? I would hate to have to hardwire straight to the battery if I didn't need to. Link to post Share on other sites
honkhonk Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I heard on another forum from a retail owner that the MSRP is $3500.00. Which is about a dollar for every round you'll fire in a minute. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I find it hard to believe it'd be that much, why would a company that mostly focuses on re-branding clones (i.e. guns which are intended to be very cheap and accessible) produce this with such an inaccessible price tag? Makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites
pjones Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I love the orange tips on all six barrels! Tripod mount anybody? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Hyde Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I really really want one of these. My team will most likely split the price and we'll use it as a massive support gun. Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense. It's not made by Echo1. It's being made by CAW, Craft Apple Works. Rebranded under the Echo1 name. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense. Echo completely manufactured this from scratch (as is my understanding) in a joint project with CAW. Maybe Echo is trying to change their image? Who knows.

Reborn Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I take it that the minigun is made of metal where it should be? With all those moving parts, plastic wouldn't last very long. It's probably a bit too much for the average squad to handle. However, it would make a very good vehicle-mounted or fixed armament. Link to post Share on other sites
Haxortheworld Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Some people from Echo 1 were at Airsoft GI yesterday demoing the gun. Said it should cost about $3500, shoot about 410, and go on sale next month(aka September 1st). It was the short one they had there, so the FPS might be a bit higher on the long one.

1-hit-1-kill Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Think it can be powered from a cigarette lighter outlet without blowing the fuse to it? I would hate to have to hardwire straight to the battery if I didn't need to. Cig lighter has a 2/5A fuse on majority of cars (in uk anyway) so it wouldnt work but then again, changing the fuse of a car isnt overly complex. I wonder how the mag feed works.. and does it have hop? Link to post Share on other sites
terrorist killer Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 It says it does have hop on the frontpage of arnies but if it is $3500 then wouldn't it make more sense to get a full metal creation M134 minigun for the extra $600+shipping? Link to post Share on other sites
brooklyn Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 ^agreed if it's that much why not just save up a bit longer for the P3 mini or creation M134 . even if it is at a decent price the real question is short or long barrel. ........i'd like to see some "TRY" and use the short barrel version in a CQB Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 How come no one has mentioned "Old painless" yet? This is coming out and not one mention of a wrestler in a jungle taking on drug lords! Link to post Share on other sites
