Killbucket Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have recently built a movie prop Minigun M134, similar to the Terminator 2 movie weapon. Like the gun in the first Predator flick, it has a full back pack, but the carry yoke is like the one in the second Terminator film. This was made under contract for a movie director who I'm not at liberty to name. Suffice to say, get a real good look at it, you may recognize it elsewhere soon... Made of 6mm ABS sheet, CAD designed and CNC produced, this is my most detailed minigun M134 to date. It has a remote operation control box, and runs on twinned 18v batteries from Harbor freight cordless drills, one of which gave its drive motor and transmission. I'll be posting a massive gallery of the build pics of the minigun soon, but for now, you can see dozens of pictures of the finished movie prop here: http://www.air-sharp.com/killbuckets_miniguns_tour_2.htm Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Looks sweet indeed. I just hope the sound effects guys gets the right firing sound in post production. 134As firing to the sound of a regular automatic gun just ruins it. And no *fruitcage* lengthy startup spin Edited July 12, 2012 by hitmanNo2 Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yep, I'm working on a proper sound unit for these. I want it to be mechanical, foolproof. Probably a six-lobed cam, striking a slapper against a large diaphragm. Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Awesome. For movie purposes, I don't think it matters if it makes sound, but still sounds like a fun addition. Link to post Share on other sites
