Ok, so I timed the amount of time it was firing in the video.  18 seconds.  I figure 3,000 rounds per minute out of a minigun... 50 rounds per second.

So in 18 seconds of shooting, one of them fired 900 rounds.  So 4 guns... 3,600 rounds fired in 18 seconds.

I'm figuring its cheap ammo.. so 70 cents per round.  So the ammo cost in that 18 seconds was $2,520 or a cool $140 per second.

Worth it

That's probably like $10k worth of ammo there in only 38 seconds

Hopefully they have those suckers bolted down well. I was at Knob Creek in 95 when that little girl got crushed by the 3 minigun mount.

I’d be insanely happy with one mini gun…

But four? In a mount??

I’ll go be poor somewhere else…

Didn't Mike Dillon build one of these way back when?
I seem to remember that they did a group of videos of them trying to shoot down RC planes.

But it would be one hell of a rush pulling the switch on them...

The dude who built it said it was 6000 rounds per minute per gun.

Yup.
In the VHS days.  It must be on YouTube.

A friend works for Dillon and gave me and a buddy an unofficial tour of their facility a few years ago.
Have a picture of me behind a pop up minigun  in the roof of a Suburban.

There was a warehouse full of belted 7.62x51.  It reminded me of the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
