How many bullets per minute does a minigun fire?

The original M134, made by General Electric, had two rates of fire - 3,000 rounds per minute, or 6,000 rounds per minute. Some variants fire at a fixed rate, which may be 3,000 or 4,000 rounds per minute, depending on that exact variant.For movies such as Predator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the miniguns used in those films had to be modified to fire at around 1/3 of their normal rate of fire, because - even with blanks - the recoil force if fired at the normal rate of fire would've knocked the actors down as they used them.


How many rounds does a machine gun fire in 2010?

Your machine guns in use in 2010 were still developed between the 1950s and 1980s, generally. A gas operated machine gun might fire anywhere from 500 - 1200 rounds per minute, depending on type. Weapons such as the M-134 Minigun can fire between 3000 - 6000 rounds per minute.


Can you silence a minigun?

Theoretically - yes, you could suppress a minigun. Realistically however, it would be impractical at best. Not only would you need a suppressor for each barrel, the rate of fire and heat generated would most likely wear out the suppressors faster than you could replace them. The rounds would also need to be subsonic (under 1080 feet/second) for a suppressor to have any real effect, if not you will still have the 'crack' the bullets make as they move towards the target. And this is completely ignoring the noise generated by the motor powering the minigun and the sound of the action as it feeds/ejects rounds.

Which machine gun is mounted on to a helicopter which can fire the fastest rate of bullets?

You're probably thinking of the M134 'Minigun', which is capable of firing at a rate of 6000 rounds per minute.


Why is the minigun so heavy?

The minigun is heavy because it has a large and heavy internal rotating assembly that allows it to fire at an extremely high rate. Additionally, it is built to withstand the stress and heat generated by firing hundreds of rounds per minute. The weight helps with recoil management and stability when firing.
