It's a Vulcan from an F18, we bring one to the Calgary Stampede every year. Used to bring a real jet too like in the pic, but now we only bring a cockpit section that can be loaded onto a truck.

That was awesome man! But still not as scary as some of those pi**ed off colts fans to a guy wearing a cowboys sweatshirt lol. I got pushed and shouldered about a hundred times before we got back to my buddies truck!

They have some mis-information there, 3000 rounds per minute? the fastest firing gun in the world? BS, the vulcan in the a/a49-a1 config in my pic is restricted to 6000 rounds per minute, otherwise it could fire faster, the dillon M134 shown is 7.62mm, not 30 Cal, but I'm getting off topic here :P

7.62 is .30 cal.........short for 7.62x51mm NATO.
Or if your a civilian, plain old .308 Winchester will do.

what topic, this is turning into a bs thread anyway about bubblegum being a ninja and firwpower so lets resume! haha. you are correct, the slant 3000 rpm is weak at best compared to the 20mm and 30mm chain guns we play with in the military. That pea shooter can only hit 50 rounds a second at full power and just some rather skimpy ammo. The 20mm CIWS hits 4500rpm and fires tungsten rounds that weigh about a quarter pound haha. Woof!
