Dillon M134 Gatling Gun
XM134 and known popularly as the Minigun, designed by General Electric, can fire up to 4,000 rounds per minute without overheating. (Originally, the gun was specced at 6,000 rpm, but this was later lowered to 4,000.) The Minigun was mounted on OH-6 Cayuse and OH-58 Kiowa side pods, in the turret and wing pods on AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters, on door, pylon and pod mounts on UH-1 “Huey” Iroquois transport helicopters, and on many other helicopters and aircraft.
