Airsoft Minigun Possible

 Black gloss contrasts with bright Harley Davidson Orange on this costume event m134d.
 These costume guns all have hollow center axles, and the barrels spin with a DC motor.
So you could easily put an airsoft gun in the middle, and have a really low cost airsoft minigun! Get the plans at www.mrminigun.com

M134 Mini Gun With Pack and Chute, Just $999?

Here's the First and Only full setup M134 (Westinghouse type machine gun) costume gun you can get, off-the-shelf, in the entire World.
Overall size is 34" long, 12" wide, and 11" high.  
The gun itself weighs almost sixteen pounds.
All major parts are minimum 6mm thick ABS, and CNC machined to size.  
There are NO vacuum-formed or cheap cast parts.  
The 20" barrels are steel, and they rotate at up to 500RPM, powered by a hidden 18volt rechargeable power pack (included) that docks underneath the M134 mini gun, out of sight. 
The authentic ammo chute and back pack complete the show: full sized real US Military ALICE frame pack and heavy duty ammunition box. 
The 5lb, 52-inch flex feed chute is adjustable for length, and is quick-detachable from both the gun and the back pack.
The port on the ammunition pack can be mounted in multiple locations and positions, top, bottom, left or right.

  The ammo chute has four positions it can mount in on the top or bottom of the unit, pointing to the left side or the right. Also, the chute also has three possible mount locations on each side, pointing up or down. 
So it can be easily tailored to a particular costume or preference.

The ammo chute just pushes into the port, and auto-locks into place. Squeezing two tab ears together releases it, just like on a real M134.
 The ammo chute itself can be shortened as needed with an included Phillips driver.
 Extra links will be available to make super-long chutes (unwieldy, but look awesome).

 The ammo Pack kit will come with the connector that goes on the gun. 
This will only fit my Mini's built from September 2014 on without mods.

Mini Gun Ammo Chute


Contemplate HOW this was assembled...Dummy M134 Machine gun ammo chute section, 52" long.    I've been making motorized costume M134 guns for many years, but have made few ammunition chutes to go on them, for one big reason: cost.

  Regardless of materials and methods, an ammo chute has MANY parts, and assembling them an intensive process.  I have been working on a solution for nearly a decade.


This is the results, an alarmingly simple construction that exceeds every criteria set from the beginning: high durability, simple construction, low weight, and authentic looks for screen or convention use.  A suitable 52" section is designed to weigh no more than five pounds total, and be strong enough to support three times the weight of the M134 costume gun (www.mrminigun.com).

The links are one by three inches, and it's possible to scale them up or down to suit "caliber".  The dimensions given computed out as best for the mini gun that I build now, and will also fit those sold before July 2014.   

Links are much tighter together, but flex and twist are better than the one above. It couldn't bend side to side much, or twist, end to end.  Note how it isn't hanging "to gravity", but is maintaining its shape instead.  The play between links wasn't properly worked out in CAD, as appearance was a higher priority.

The new one has super-flexibility, but looks better.


  Chutes and back packs will be offered on the site in a few days.

Pricing is TBD, but ballpark is $599 for a Mini gun M134 and Pack with chute, $399 for the pack and chute alone, $305 for the mini gun (on sale at $288 right now:   www.mrminigun.com . 
For customers who already have one of my minis, the pack and chute will be just $349.   Chutes alone will be $150.

M134 $999 at Mrminigun.com

 Here's the latest motorized minigun from www.mrminigun.com

 It's 34 inches long, 12" wide, and 11" high assembled. 
 And we say assembled, because it's a knock-down-able modular design:


 it all comes apart into components with simple snap-locks on the carry frame, motor, and delinker. 

The 20" steel barrels are gear-driven, with massive CNC-cut teeth over a 1.4 inch tall. 
 The minigun also features a safety clutch, so the barrel disengages from the drive if obstructed, without damage. 

The virtually unbreakable ABS Engineering Polymer parts are all minimum 1/4 inch thick, with chembonded construction for rugged, long-life usage.  More info at www.mrminigun.com

M134 Machine Gun Movie Prop

 Seven modules, plus a charger and charging dock.  Parts are all CNC machined, hand-assembled in alignment jigs, and painted in semigloss black acrylic.  The design is gear-driven, no belts to slip or break.  The center axle (silver tube) is HOLLOW.  Many have been converted to AIRSOFT MINIGUNS by inserting an M14 barrel, that fits nicely!

 The separated minigun parts you see here total 17 pounds in weight.  The battery pack (U-shaped lump there) slides into a hidden dock underneath the minigun.  This is not some flimsy, blow-molded overseas short-shrift.  It is a solid, quality item that will outlive you.  I make them to last, and be reliable.
 Assembled, the M134 is an imposing piece.  Thirty-four inches overall, and nearly a foot wide.  It is a hefty looking machine gun, but is surprisingly easy to wield.  The whole assembly balances perfectly at the front carry handle.  The gun can be knocked down and re-assembled easily, with NO tools required, and NO hardware.  It simply snaps apart and back together.
