Yes. There is a gun called the M-134 minigun that shoots approx. 300 rounds per second.


How many rounds can a M134 minigun fire every second?

The M-134D and M-134DT fires 50 rounds every second, or about 3,000 rounds per minute. Meaning the six barrels rotate up to 1112 RPM in half a second.

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.

Does the gattling gun fire 100 rounds a second?

The original Gatling gun (invented in 1861 but patented in 1862) was one of the most well known rapid-fire weapons to be used in the 1860s by the Union forces of the Civil War. Although the first Gatling gun was capable of firing continuously, it required human power to crank it; as such it was not a true automatic weapon. Some time later, Gatling-type weapons were invented that diverted a fraction of gas from the chamber to turn the barrels. Later still, electric motors supplied external power. The new electric-powered Gatling gun had a theoretical rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute, roughly three times the rate of a typical modern, single-barreled machine gun. Gatling's electric-powered design received US Patent #502,185 on 07/25/1893. Despite Gatling's improvements, the Gatling gun fell into disuse after cheaper, lighter-weight, recoil and gas operated machine guns were invented. The modern M61 Vulcan is a 20 mm hydraulically or pneumatically driven, six-barreled, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style cannon with an extremely high rate of fire. Rate of fire: 6,000 rounds per minute (M61A1) (this is 100 rounds per second). 6,600 rounds per minute (M61A2) (this is 110 rounds per second). On the 12/20/2007 episode of Future Weapons, they mentioned a Dillon Aero M134D Gatling Gun (USA), a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel minigun with a high rate of fire of over 3,000 rounds per minute (50 rounds per second).

Do you need batteries to fire a Nerf vulcan?

To fire automatically, you do, but the Vulcan can fire single-shot and does not need batteries to do so.
