Manstoat Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Has there ever been any other airsoft miniguns other than the M134?, I thought somthing else like the Russian 4 barrel GsHG-762 or any other design would be better. I also found this image below which is obviously a mock up but thought it would be cool for a minigun design. Does anyone have any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I've never really thought about airsoft version of other Miniguns, but looking at these pics, it'd be pretty sweet. I don't know about the pistol grip versions, but a mounted version of said weapon would be awesome. Gives the option of using them for different loadouts, and, I'd image these would be easier to create, too. This is about the time where I open the floor to KillBucket, Meathead, and Eltee. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
Prewar Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Ah wow. Yeah I'm used to seeing the erm, normal mini-gun, but they're expensive enough as it is. I think it'd be pretty cool to get some new ones in there. Maybe a bi-pod on that? Link to post Share on other sites

ED-SKaR Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 The grips, trigger guard and trigger in the OPs pitcure are from SA80s, Probs an A2 if the trigger is what i think it is. I have been wanting to make the minigun from the origonal unreal tournament for a long time. never gona happen, but it would be cool. Link to post Share on other sites

I have been wanting to make the minigun from the origonal unreal tournament for a long time. never gona happen, but it would be cool. if u have enough money and contact Paul Piper, it is possible. There are alot of ppl that have the expertise and would probably make u a custom gun. killbucket might too. Link to post Share on other sites
loki7491 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 sadly, many of those parts are from an sa80 a1 - (cocking handle is dead giveaway), that means it would never work!!!!! that is a cool idea - you'd get a few WTF looks at any site you went to. good luck with it Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Near-Necro post... A mini isn't. It's nearly impossible to walk through a home without crashing things. Adding a chute and pack would only make it worse. Jesse looked cool in the movie using it, but he would have been tangled in jungle all the time. I need to design a compact version Not something I make and sell, too much work. Fun to tinker with, tho. Link to post Share on other sites

happy.al Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Does anyone know where to get an Ammo chute from in teh UK, or in the US if the price is good enough? Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Real Minigun Ammo Chutes. They are priceless. Period. The FEW I've ever seen advertised were snatched up immediately. Prices around $6000 are not uncommon for damaged real ones. Being made up of oodles of the same part, over and over, I'm intrigued. Because I have my own CNC here in the garage. Even fake ones that look faithful, cost more than good used car. Go to build one? Like the tracks on the Tamiya tanks, you'll see them in your sleep before they're completed. Repetition, repetition. Repeat. Glad you brought this up. Somewhere out there has to be plastic boxes the right dim's, just needing the bottoms sawed off. Then I could make a simple set of glue or screw-on link plates. Look up Cable Chain: Maybe some size of this could be reworked... Link to post Share on other sites

Killbucket Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Could I have a towel, please? "I SEE yer three guns, and I raise you one" The plan here is "the simplest airsoft mini possible" After looking at the feature of various minis, it's apparent there's a lot of artistic interperetation going on. Note the placement of the shock iso's on the new Echo1's vs the Asahi and Toytecs. The essence of a mini (to the average viewer) is barrels that spin. So I figure, let form completely follow function. It it isn't needed, it's not here. No delinker (airsoft BB's are not linked -yet) needed. A small drive motor is all that's needed for the barrel pack, and if it can hide underneath the barrels, all the better, fewer parts to make. The main bodies are (what else?) 3.5" dia ABS. All designed full-size in 3d, so all these elements can be used to create actual components that will absolutely fit. Here's a second render, with one body hidden, to show how an M14 gearbox goes in the middle of each one: Link to post Share on other sites
