I have heard stuff about the .22 lr and that when fired it feels as though there in no recoil. if so would it be possible to make a hand held .22 minigun?
it would be awesome :awesome:

Only if you can hit your target reasonably well when you're firing from your hip.
I think the centrifugal force (right force? the rotational one, maybe centripetal) of the barrels spinning would negate any recoil effects of a handheld minigun anyway.
Yeah but it would be piss weak.
There's no point in hand held miniguns anyway. Well, except for hunting down Predators.

And no, you can't hand-build one unless you have some real skill. It's an electrically-operated firearm.
Did you mean, MINI gun? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a9jZJaEgDg[/media]
It's a gun for heavy's baby brother.
It could probably be made, but I don't think it would be very effective nor economic.

[QUOTE=Hikaru;16570910]Yeah but it would be piss weak.[/QUOTE] .22 rounds are more frightening than any high caliber rifle round out there. Big rounds punch right through a body. .22 rounds penetrate the body, TURN THE FUCK AROUND, and then do some FLIPS AND SHIT all the way down your body until it hits a hard spot. If you get gutshot a .22 can end up in your fucking prostate. From what I've been told there's been more than one case of a .22 round tumbling down into the scrotum. A bullet ending up in your nutsack, leaving the skin outside completely intact, trapping the bullet until somebody cuts your balls open to get it out. Come the fuck on. I get physically ill just thinking about it. [editline]08:17PM[/editline] .22 bullets are ballistic gymnasts that fuck with your organs. [editline]08:17PM[/editline] They will tear your shit up
It'd also be illegal. Full-auto and such. You'd need a special license, but yes, this has been done.
.22 miniguns are practical against un-armored targets and I can reliably inform you you can make one at home powered with a masonry drill.
[QUOTE=Turrngait;16571002].22 miniguns are practical against un-armored targets and I can reliably inform you you can make one at home powered with a masonry drill.[/QUOTE] Not without a degree in engineering. You need a firing system and feed system and such. Miniguns are for laying down fire, what would you need one for out of combat, other than some expensive fun at the range? Much better to have a rifle.

.22? why don't they just make a minigun with explosive rounds like on fighter jets. now that would make sniping fun
A hand held minigun might work as a physological weapon

There are no magazines on it in the picture. It's basically two guns back to back, it even has a trigger for each barrel, and when you crank that thing it wobbles this metal deal, causing it to hit each trigger alternatively.
[QUOTE=Minorkos;16571026]Doesn't 5.56 NATO fragment inside your body?[/QUOTE] Yes. And spins. That's what it was designed for.

Plus the people that die from 22LR wounds usually die a couple days after they've been in the hospital and stuff.
[QUOTE=Minorkos;16571026]Doesn't 5.56 NATO fragment inside your body?[/QUOTE] It fragments in one place relative to where the penetration happens. I don't think it is capable of tumbling all around your body like a .22 is.

That is some frightening shit.

Wouldn't it heat the fuck up and burn yo fingas?
[QUOTE=cathal6606;16571037]A hand held minigun might work as a physological weapon[/QUOTE] No, not really. It'd be heavy and hard to aim. [editline]05:22PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Kiyasha Omin;16571068]Wouldn't it heat the fuck up and burn yo fingas?[/QUOTE] That's why you have a grip.
[QUOTE=Hikaru;16571063]Hahahaha what the fuck are you talking about.[/QUOTE] .22 rounds are very dangerous, in some cases moreso than even the biggest rounds out there. Why the fuck do you think police almost universally use 9mm or .45s? It's because they plug a hole in a body and STAY THERE. .22 bullets don't do that, they fuckin move around.
[QUOTE=Lankist;16571057]It fragments in one place relative to where the penetration happens. I don't think it is capable of tumbling all around your body like a .22 is.[/QUOTE] It tumbles a lot, though.
