This.  Other than the cool factor (which is off the fucking chart), the introduction of a reliable high-ROF .50 like the GAU-19 pretty much makes the quad obsolete.  But still fucking epic.

Quad Ma Deuces would be impressive, but I think that the GAU-19 is a worthy successor.

Yes, there is another better option. A simple dual mount with M3s can take it's place.  Cheaper than a GAU-19, no reliance on electric power, and a higher rate of fire

I thought that the M-3 50cal was intended for aircraft mounting only, since they needed a lot of airflow to cool the gun to support that high rate of fire.

I'll still take the rotary gun.  Fewer rounds/min/barrel equals better sustained capability.  One firing barrel is going to be easier to accurately "sight" at various ranges that two separate barrels.  A bad round won't choke the gun.  And if you aren't on something that supply electric power, you aren't going to be able to carry enough .50BMG ammo to make it worth the effort anyway.

Look up Gun Trucks.  They used them in Vietnam for convoy escort/protection.

I sure wouldn't have wanted to be in front of one.

This plane lived ~1 mile from my front door for a couple years. I miss it.

So, why not a quad GAU-19?

Weren't those the KIFVs? I've seen a couple of pictures of them.
