One of my early minigun gatlings

I based this one on the gun in Predator, kinda. Too small, too little detail but it WORKED.  Non-firing, but the barrels spun at a good 900rpm with a fresh drill battery attached. I went on to build literally hundreds of these crazy costume Gatling gun. The barrels are 1/2" conduit, the body cut from 6mm thick ABS plastic from Interstate Plastics in Sacramento.

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.

 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

Mr Minigun $999 M134 Costume Miniguns

Four Mr Minigun electric costume miniguns to ship today, with another going out tomorrow morning, and many more to follow those.  The past week's been very busy, probably my busiest yet as far as sales go.   My standard order-to-ship turnaround is seven working days, but I've been able to average five or six for most of last year.  I would have liked to have seen this group leave on Friday, but well, it's Monday, and here we are.

 Key to this success is making a minigun that is RELIABLE.  Customers can rest assured that the device will operate as expected, with no issues.  Because my minigun design is robust and simple in methodology, my involvement after the sale hasn't been required much.  That's allowed me time to maintain production level AND quality improvements all along the way.

The minigun is in Tenth Generation now, it is radically different and far more user-friendly in its characteristics.  First and foremost, it requires NO tools to assemble.  

 The six major components merely snap together in a simple, cannot-be-assembled-wrong layout.  I researched Japanese "Poke-A-Yoke" assembly, snap-fits, and Tool-Less Design to ensure a solid background for each feature of my Costume Mr. Minigun M134's.  Convenience was embraced, and gimmickry excluded: if it isn't necessary, it just isn't here.

  Each of the major chunks of the minigun assembly have seen their own extensive revisions, based on customer feedbacks and my own continuing education.  DFM (Design For Manufacture) guided evolution is evident in the 90 different components, all produced in-house on my own CNC equipment.

The metal barrels are permanently bonded into a rigid structure, using 8 CNC-perfect, 6mm thick ABS parts. DFA (Design For Assembly) forms ensure great alignment of parts utilizing my assembly jigs. NO fasteners are used, keeping the rotational mass low for fastest spin-ups. 

 Massive gear teeth are over 1/4" tall, and have been over-designed 300% to ensure a long, long service life in heavy use.  The bearing-less minigun's barrel pack should be lubed with synthetic grease (included) only, and will likely out-live its owner in most cases.  Testing has shown them to be "bullet-proof".

This low barrel mass also contributes to the minigun's perfect balance: the gun's Center Of Gravity is directly below the front carry handle for the best control, one-handed or both. 
The gun will hang level when held from the front grip alone (with the included 18v battery docked underneath).  Large alignment pins locate the crossbar to the front of the minigun body, and a snap lock holds the rear of the rugged, Classic Minigun Y-shaped frame.

The Minigun's DC motor is a simple but effective mechanism comprising the 18volt motor, planetary gearbox, safety clutch, and heavy duty output drive.  Again, large pins locate the front (hidden in this view) of the minigun motor, and a simple snap lock holds the tail end securely in place.  The CNC made housing is water-resistant.

The minigun rear grip is the subject of much refinement.  Technically, the only moving part is the HD micro switch actuator nub inside.  The trigger button and its cantilever-style return spring are literally one piece with the main handle body to eliminate any slop or rattling.  The ten CNC parts use but two fasteners, the handle cover screws.  The entire mini is assembled with cold-bonding techniques to keep the overall weight low, both for handling by the user, and for the lowest ship cost.  Some of these go the the other side of the planet, so secure packaging and careful packing ensure a safe arrival in all cases.

The miniguns use a standard power pack, a Drill Master  18volt NiCad Rechargeable, item #68413 from Harbor Freight.  One is included with each gun, along with a charging dock and 110v wall adapter.  For filming or Cosplay, being able to get spares and have them charged and ready allows nearly continuous use.  

The battery docks out of sight underneath the gun chassis, eliminating the need to conceal or manage power cables or other wiring.  These costume miniguns are truly self-contained, a feature many customers have requested.

 The Ammunition Chute (simple prototype shown, see our new Deluxe Ammo chute, HERE) and Back Pack are a new addition to the Mr Minigun M134 Setup.
 Using a full-sized REAL US MIL ALICE Frame with harnesses, the Back Pack is both authentic and lightweight.

The Mr Minigun Deluxe Ammunition chute is rugged and extremely flexy.  It looks fantastic on screen and in person.

Universal Miniguns!

Modular design, they are rugged and reliable, and water-resistant. 

Pictures here, the guns will soon be available at: www.mrminigun.com

 29 CNC machined parts, and a few well-chosen plumbing aisle components.

 All chem-bonded using the excellent Oatey Black ABS adhesive.

 The mount is universal-fit, so you'll need to decide where to drill to mount it.

 The gun is 31 inches overall length, assembled.

 It is made of four major assemblies, that just snap together.

 I designed and make the massive gear train myself.

 The DC drive motor for the minigun has a planetary transmission with straight-cut steel gears inside.

 Here's the motorized vehicle minigun, taken apart.  It can run on any DC voltage source, from 9-24volts.

 The minigun is 31 inches overall length when assembled.

 It can be taken down as shown, without using any tools at all.

 The steel barrels are solidly assembled, like the rest of the M134.  Notice the complete lack of fasteners on the barrel.  It's 100% Cold-Bonded construction.

 Paint is off the shelf black Krylon, nothing special.  They could easily be repainted or touched up.

 The simple core of the minigun has some very well-thought out geometry.  It has few parts, fewer fasteners.  If it isn't here, it cannot possibly give you grief.

If you ever manage to wear one out (I doubt it in a normal lifetime) spares are standardized and available.

Here's a matching pair of universal-mount miniguns in black gloss, going to Texas. These will be listed soon, at www.mrminigun.com

I CNC machine the parts and assemble them myself.  Everything from design to packaging, is done by Me.

The mounts will slide on the bodies, allowing a multitude of mounting options.

This pair is custom wired in parallel.  Production versions will just have a six foot pigtail and connectors.

Paint is Krylon Semigloss black. Each gun is 31 inches long, and weighs about 8 Lbs.

All non-tubular parts are CNC made of 6mm thick ABS sheet, and bonded with Oatey Black ABS adhesive.

The modular design uses the delinker and DC drive from my standard carry miniguns: www.mrminigun.com

The barrels are steel, and assembled using modern Cold-Bonding techniques.  It has NO fasteners at all, yet is sturdy enough to fend off a grizzly with (please don't try).

This one is equipped with a DC battery pack option by request, but production models will be vehicle DC only.  Adding the battery will still be possible.

The two miniguns are identical except for the wiring.  Both turn the same direction, and are not mirror-images of each other.  That is possible, however, ALL of the parts were expressly designed for inverted assembly.

This will be what customers who order get.  The power cable is six feet, and has an inline power connector for convenience.  www.mrminigun.com
