Practicality is all just a state of mind. One of my most desired projects to start right now is a GE Mini gun. Its a pricey build and have to find the parts cheap or it can get out of sight. At this point I have none but have a good line on some kits and a rough receiver casing. Might have a case chute coming! Google can tell you more about it than I, but basically it is an electric driven 6 barrel gatling-style ammo waster. There is a cool video on youtube (sorry no link) of the last knob creek knight shoot from a droan. The solid red line of tracers is a minigun I believe. Its just disgusting... Of course I am an 07/02 and this would be a post sample, all NFA rules apply. Do not make one of these at home without proper licensing.
Yes lottery would help very much! Found the video, sort of. It has been encapsulated in another video. Somewhere around 1:23 is what I believe to be a mini gun. Make sure you have a change of underpants handy..
It's not quite the same, but there's a kit to turn two Ruger 10/22's into a gatling gun. GATLING GUN KIT - POLISHED CNC MACHINED ALUMINUM FOR RUGER®
Yes, that thing is pretty cool, and right for the price! Technically not a gatling gun but cool none the less. They can be made to fire in synch or out of synch. I have plans for a similiar setup using a pair of SKSs that I would like to get to some day.
375 Weatherby- under impractical- but you can use 375 hh rounds in it. rifle weight is just shy of 14 lbs , 1/4 min accuracy at 600 yards with 300 grain boat tail pill. Runs out of steam somewhere after 7-800 yards as it only starts off at apx 2600fps. A faster twist than what I have might cure the longer range instability. Sorta like the 45-70 takes awhile to get there but a heck of thump when it does. I don't know the native American phrase but the loose translation for the 45-70 is "the gun that shoots today & kills tommorow"
Ruger .454 Super Redhawk Alaskan, because my MP340 shooting .357 Mag +P isn't uncomfortable enough to shoot.
I've always been intrigued by the 45-70. My great uncle used to shoot full sized silhouettes at like 400-600 yards with his old rolling block. I remember him telling stories of the length of time between the shot and then hearing the "ping"! When he passed away he had told the family that I could have one of his firearms. If I hadn't been so young and dumb at the time (I was 19) I probably would have taken the rolling block. Instead I picked a 14" Contender in .223 which, while fun and accurate, lost it's novelty pretty fast.
Believe it or not, it's not that bad. I think my 7-1/2" SRH in .454 has more felt recoil than the Alaskan. No doubt, they're both a handful.
I bought a Zastava bolt action (can't remember M-70 or M-98) chambered in 458 Win Mag. No practical use at all where I live, unless I wanted to go shoot a moose or black bear. It's the boom-hahaha-ouch gun.
Hmmm bought, impractical . Being ex military just not a fan of the 223 as I used them for years. Heck was a armorer with many many to take care of for a year = AR's M16's. Just not my weapon of choice. Much prefer the 7.62x39 round.
Yep. To replace a Iver Johnson Super Enforcer I have regretted trading off forever. Pic bro shows folks. Bro is a enabler. He also got more PMR30's in and I want one of those too.
Nice!! We've gone full circle! You'll have a lot of fun with that thing. You'll probably be surprised with the accuracy also. Shooting from the hip, you almost always hit the hillside.
Not worried about hillsides. I've shot M-60's from hip etc in military and 50BMG bulldog standing up from shoulder. prone 900yds m60 in to oil drums.
