Ever wondered what 300+ 20mm rounds per minute do? (Remember only every 5th or 7th bullet is tracer)

and the really scarey thing is this is the US's idea of crowd control at the local high schools fete!

I was watching some Sky programme about the Apache helecopter, where they said that they could only carry enough ammo for 1 or 2 minutes continuous fire.
Reminded me of the Hurricane and Spitfire - imagine flying off several times per day for a life-or-death dogfight knowing that you only had 30 seconds worth of ammo in your plane...

Eeek.

Ahhh the trusty Minigun!

Not a pleasant subject i know, but I remember reading about these used in Nam, where they had up to 3 TWIN miniguns down one side of a large transport aircraft, that's 6 of the guns shown on that video, on one plane! The photos of them firing at night just show a Chinese Fan of red tracer coming from the sky.
