This electrically driven Gatling gun, GECAL 50, unleashes .50 BMG (12.7×99mm) cartridges at a rate of 2000 rounds a minute! This is ridiculous!! I’d love to fire one of these!
Technical specifications
“The GAU-19/A is designed for a linkless feed, but can be fed from a standard M9 linked belt if a delinker feeder is used. The rate of fire is selectable to be either 1,000 or 2,000 rounds per minute. The Humvee armament kit version fires at 1,300 rounds per minute. The average recoil force when firing is 500 pounds-force (2.2 kN). In January 2012, General Dynamics announced they would be delivering a new version designated the GAU-19/B. It provides the same firepower in a lighter platform, weighing 106 lbs.”
