M61 Vulcan shooting 40 dummy rounds

[TheCommenter71]

Now I need to know this. I have an idea for a show and there is this one character who has this as his main weapon after stealing iff some wreckage of an old jet. What I need to know is is it possible for any man to carry this and enough ammo to last more than one firefight? I wanted the M134 as his main weapon,but thought it was to overused. :/

[TykSakdotnet]

@TheCommenter71 M61A1 weighs 248 pounds (112 kg) (excluding feed system) + the weight of all the ammunition and you need electricity and hydraulics to use it!

Look up M61 Vulcan on Wikipedia for more information

[BelkinZohar]

NICE. Im working on one like that in my work :)

[ablahblah54]

If that isn't a M61, that is one HELL of a 7.62 bullet.

Rounds coming out are clearly a 20mm. It looks like a M134, sure, but hey, you have to remember that GE's M61 was made years before GE's M134 came out.

[ninjawormProduction]

Oh danish i see... Me Too :D

[hectiky]

Well, if a 12 second burst of 20mm rounds doesn't fix your problem, you've got one hell of a problem.

[ablahblah54]

@hectiky GBU-28 Paveway III bunker buster my friend.

[DaDeviousDoodz]

you can fill that bucket with shells in 2 seconds. maybe less.. haha

[soulassssns]

I worked on the M61A1 and the M61A2 Gunsystems

[soulassssns]

The Gun is NOT in firing when you run these DUMMY rounds through because if it is they will jam in the housing.

[delanogaston]

We crossed paths with a brigade that had one of these and they let our squad fire it off but the one they had was a much bigger version and was attached to some sort of trailer. They told us there was a tracer round every 20th round? Not sure if that's right, but something like that....anyway when fired at night it was almost like a flame thrower. It was sick. If you build a nice long belt of nothing but 5.56 tracer rounds and fire it from an M249, you get about the same effect only smaller

[dadvoc666]

will it kill?

[joezetank]

@dadvoc666 It'll kill you 7 times before you hit the ground

[dadvoc666]

@joezetank from what height?

[RipperYou]

Hvad luftshow er det fra?

[Reqrezentin]

Jeg vil gerne koebe DKs F16 naar de gaar med JSF.

[ronaldli5]

whats a dummy round?

[may4100]

this arm is used on the vehicles of metal slug and is infinite

[may4100]

this arms is used on metal slug¿? in the vehicles they use this arms infinite

[Scout1543]

spittin bullets



[worldtravel101]

who needs viagra if ya have one of these! lol

[boludovos]

it cost 4.000 dollars to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds

[ninjapunk200]

@boludovos i got the reference, hahaha

[SwordsmanOfFaith]

@boludovos That's actually the minigun (a scaled down version of the M61).

The M61 cost goes into the astronomical when fired for 12 seconds .. ;-)

[RBrim08]

@boludovos It's 400,000 dollars, not 4,000.

[tibchy144]

6000 rounds a minute? i thought it's more like 3000 rounds a minute

[states123]

@tibchy144 Depends on the hydraulic pressure behind it. The F-18 shoots 6000 RPM High 4000 RPM low though

[o0Guns0o]

DAMIT I WANT ONE!!!!

[ShockWaveClone88]

darn... its not?

[Nightfighter74]

Empty shells were just fed through electrically - no firing really ...

[gunairsoft]

1 sec and it fired all 40

[LondonNYLA]

This must be the lightest cannon ever!

[TheSilentassin]

this is like the heaviest weapon ever!!! 112 kg!!!! is that true????

[dracorider]

Not really. Look at the GAU-12, which is 122 kg. I know it's a fairly heavy gun, but that's why it's mounted. >:) (GAU-12 is the rotary cannon on the Warthog) But the GAU-12 only shoots a max of 4,200 rounds/min as opposed to the max of 6,600 of the M61 Vulcan as shown here. (M61 is on the F-22 Raptor)

[Zwerchhau]

M61 is for shooting aircraft mainly, Gau-8 is for shooting stuff on the ground.

[sillentassasian]

*stuff*

very technical you.

[thinice1337]

Is it prepare to install on the aircraft

[1ohtaf1]

The GAU-8/A Avenger will own this gun.

[simba00784]

jesus

[yootubematt]

its not 6000 rpm is it?

[xXEvilScientistXx]

got a 100 shot ammo box of these 20mm chained ammo for m61, its as big as my pc case

[yellowmadness54]

can I have some?

jk, but if you could???

[ebront]

Wouldn't that be out in a second? 6000 RPM, 100 per second.

[xXEvilScientistXx]

that box is just for tronsport, the ammjo in a plane or on a ship is in big tank, thousands of rounds

[ioan21121221]

it would be 20cmx 20cm x length of round my pc case is certainly boigger than that lol

[xXEvilScientistXx]

its  50x 65x 20

[ioan21121221]

maybe your pc case is that big but the ammo box certainly wouldnt be

its 10 bullets x10 bullets wich makes 100 bullets as the bullets (rounds,or ammo)are 20mm wich is 2 cm it would need to be 20cm x 20cm

x lenght of ammo

[xXEvilScientistXx]

its a case for chained ammo

you got icq or email i send a pic to you

[Danilocaparros]

100 rounds a second can fuck any plane

[aphsknight74]

You sure as hell ain't lying. If they took these and applied them to other things besides the F-22 they would be able to get some sick fucking gun ships or platforms.

[em745aa]

-"If they took these and applied them to other things besides the F-22"

LOL! You DO know the F-22 carries an M61A2, don't you?

[aphsknight74]

Yea that's why I said "Besides" The F-22. Like how about putting them on the wing pylons of an AH-64D, Then you could allow it a high powered close air support role, capable or assisting much more effectively against personnel.

[1ohtaf1]

They dont put it on because there are better weapons for close air surport, like the GAU-8/A Avenger on the A10.

[aphsknight74]

The GAU-8 is slower, And only slightly higher in caliber. The 20mm used by this, Would be more effective at an AG role. This thing gets 6000+rpm. The GAU-8 only gets half that.

[1ohtaf1]

The GAU-8/A Avenger fires at 3,900 RMP, slower but it launches a much heavier projectile at much higher velocities. It IS more suitble for air to ground role as proven in the A10 Thunderbolt II. the M61A1 vulcan WILL not be more effective in an air to ground role but will be more effective for an air to air role like the F22.

[1ohtaf1]

Also its not just "slightly higher in caliber". your saying its only 10mm more but it has a much heavier, wider, longer projectile going down the longer barrel at higher velocities creating MUCH more KE then the 20mm rounds. It will destroy enemy tanks, vehicles, atilerty peices, buildings and other strong points much easier then the 20mm it can even manage to do significant damage on the target.

[1ohtaf1]

And the 30mm on the Apache is weaker then the PGU-14/B & PGU-13/B rounds on the GAU-8/A and they still chose it over the M61A1 Vulcan because it is BETTER in that role.

[aphsknight74]

How? When you're anti personnel, You want target saturation. You would want the highest RoF you can get.

[1ohtaf1]

Pfffff why are you arguing you dont even have a case the GAU-8/A Avenger IS a better air to ground role and to answer your question, if you miss a person with the PGU-13/B even if you it it 4 feet away from the person they will die. If the M61A1 is better they would have put on the Apache which has the M230 30mm cannon fireing at 625RPM And it uses weaker 30mm shells then the Gau-8/A (to prove caliber does not show you exactly how much more power a cartridge has. And they would put it on the A10

[aphsknight74]

You have no experience do you? 30mm shells explode, So do 20mm's. But the explosion is smaller. Using a smaller round, You could provide support in closer quarters. Also, I make my case clear again, Target saturation is the key. Let's see, 3000rpm, or 6000rpm... Which one will saturate the target better? When you have double the rounds, With only 15% less stopping power, The winner is clear.

[1ohtaf1]

You are so full of shit. You love the Vulcan so much to shut out everyother system out there. The GAU-8/A Avenger could fire at 4200RPM but it wasnt needed to fire that wfast so they changed it to a fix setting of 3900RPM and if you ONLY compare the caliber its 50% more powerfull but if you actually compare its weights and Muzzle velocity it will deliver alot more energy and accuratcy then the 20mm. WTF "close Quaters" we are not taling about bloody infantry rifles here.

[1ohtaf1]

And the GAU-8/A Avenger has PROVEN it self well in the air to ground role destroying tanks, armoured vehicals and other enemy hard points. If the 20mm Vulcan was better it would be there instead of the 30mm. If it was better F18s and F22s will be using it to attack ground infantry and tanks ALOT more. You have alot of "experience" dont you? Bloody hell thinking an air to air weapon is much better at destroying ground targets then a purpose built Air to Ground Auto Cannon.

[aphsknight74]

It's been proven that the M167(close cousin) Is superior at the role of AG. And the GAU-8 was built as an AA weapon. Do some research. You'll find it wasn't purpose built for the A-10.

[1ohtaf1]

As i said your full of shit. And the GAU-8/A wasnt built for the A10, the A10 was built around it. And the GAU-8/A Avenger was not finished in time for the AX prototypes testing so they put in a Vulcan M61 to fill in the role before the Avenger was finished. It was built for pulvasiting Tanks and other ground targets. DO YOUR REACHERCH your the one bullshitting by saying the M61 Vulcan is better in the Air to Ground role.

[1ohtaf1]

WTF are you crazy? the M167 and the new CIWS are for GROUND TO AIR! its ment to shoot down planes, thats when a faster shooting, less powerfull cannon is needed. Your so ignorent to think the 20mm is best for everything, its not. And besides if you put the vulcan up agaisnst the A10, it wont shoot it down. The A10 is armoured to withstand up to 23mm HEI and API rounds.

[Inquisitor53]

1ohtaf1:

An F-22 raptor with a vulcan will take down an A-10 any day of the week! The flaw in your thinking is that in spite of the A-10 being a tough bird If anything gets on it's ass with a vulcan the A-10 goes down! Seems you forgot about the A-10's less protected ass, didn't you. The armor you speak of is the titanium "tub" to protect the pilot, not the entire plane! So who's "full of shit" now?

[1ohtaf1]

What are you smoking? The titanium tub is for the pilot but the plane is also covered in armour to protect from anything that is or under 23mm shells. The same armour is on the Apache and Blackhawk. Of course, there is no doubt that the F22 can shoot down the A10, but in the ground attack role the F22 cant do as well as the A10 can. And the A10 wont be as easily shot down by the 20mm cannon as compared to normal fighters.

[Inquisitor53]

@1ohtaf1 One 100 round burst into an A-10's ass & engine pods or canopy & it's over. Yes, the A-10 is better as a ground assault weapon than the F-22 but the discussion was about the A-10's ability to survive any 20mm vulcan round in any quantity.

[1ohtaf1]

The engine is also Armoured, of course it will still crash if you keep unloading 20mm rounds into it, but it will take alot more hits before it does compared to a conventional fighter. And no, what i was discussing with the other guy 4 months ago is that a Raptor is not as good for air to ground as the A10 is.

[jgtheman84]

yeh raptors kickass.

[Ragzz1234]

They actually do :) AC-130 gunship.

[aphsknight74]

OK, I forgot about Specter's. But like I said, What about like a Longbow? Wouldn't that add like utility to the machine? The Apache is already badass, But add the M61A2 to it, And BOOM! It's even more badass.

[Ragzz1234]

i don't think it's necessary :p

[aphsknight74]

Was MOAB necessary?roflmao

[Ragzz1234]

erh obviously it was

[aphsknight74]

So your telling me a Massive conventional bomb, That was never dropped in anger was completely necessary? When we could have saved the money on that project, And simply spent in upgrading precision weapons instead.

[Ragzz1234]

i guess it was... why are you saying this to me lol

[vblogrsRLzrs]

that bomb didnt cost sht. its just a big aluminum tube with a ton of fertilzer explosive and grid fins on the back of it

[aphsknight74]

MOAB is not a Ammonium Nitrate bomb. It uses a highly explosive compound of Military grade explosives. One MOAB costs over $800,000. You can get 16 SDB's for that much, And still have some left over.

[1ohtaf1]

It already has and M230 30mm cannon on it which is more powerfull then the M61A2 rounds.

[Inquisitor53]

@aphsknight74 They tried that with cobras in 'Nam, didn't work so well.

A pair of mini-guns in the chin-turret worked far better against the NVA.

[suprchrgr]

Just to help you all out, this is not an M61 Vulcan.

[TykSakdotnet]

Helping out would be to tell what gun it then is?

[knucles230]

@TykSakdotnet It's a minigun, the M61 Vulcan is bigger i believe.

[The4LA2Baker0]

@knucles230 the M-61A1 is just under 6 feet long and 248 pounds without ammunition. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

[states123]

@The4LA2Baker0 I have worked on the M61A1 for over 9 years. Thats it!

[The4LA2Baker0]

@TykSakdotnet If it's not a M-61A1, then it might be a GAU-22.

[reuben0708]

@TykSakdotnet its a m134 dillon minuigun

[pyro4squirrel]

@reuben0708 no its not. look at the sized of the rounds coming out. it's obviously at least 20mm. the m134 only shoots 7.62x51mm NATO

[pinetree64z]

My guess GAU19, looks like 50cal not 20mm

[kylosius]

that's definitely a Vulcan.

[nthnkilgore]

no shit

[em745aa]

Yeah, that does seem a little small to be a 20mm.

The term "Vulcan" is normally reserved for 20mm M61 miniguns.

[aaronharun]

the m 61 can fire bursts of 100 rounds per second

[xJsWeEtx14]

20X120mm badass

[davidtheguitarman]

that's all??

[ZuperFrame]

Haha so cool!

That shot is from Aalborg, Denmark, June 2007.

I was at that airshow, gooood fun :-)

[Hairysteed]

Are they speaking danish?

[TykSakdotnet]

yes he is

[DyNo541]

It isn't firing anything. It is simply cycling rounds through the weapon.

[gunnerkylling]

They're talking Danish.

[KingCosmo7]

that was 40 shots in 2 seconds!

[rayden85]

No, that was less than a second.

[BenHutchinson1]

I thought blanks made a muzzle flash and a loud bang, just minus lead slugs.

[scallywag86]

they do. but these are dummy rounds. no bang, no flash. They`re just used in drill for weapon charging and clearing procedures

[xhimpei]

that was aimed at 'Navyseal'

[dumbtard34]

I need to get me one of these

XD

I'll have it mounted on my truck...NOBODY would cut me off or get in my way on the road

[butterflyhope333]

Except maybe someone taxiing on the highway with an F22... IT COULD HAPPEN! XD

[dumbtard34]

nice...those damn rounds just POURED out

that's the same gun that's on the F22 Raptor

it's not a gun you wanna fuck around with

[Navyseal234]

The F22 Raptor, the F-4E Phantom, the F/A-18 Hornet(both variations), the F-14 Tomcat(YES!), the AC-130, the MH-60 Blackhawk, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and just about every other modern aircraft made by the US.

[xhimpei]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this ISN'T mounted on a blackhawk haha- That's the M134, is it not?

[Navyseal234]

Whoops, wrong one. Yeah, I mean't the M134.

[butterflyhope333]

Yeah, I bet a blackhawk would stall with an m16 or an 8/a on board.

[Cab0cl0]

The F22 uses the M61A2, a lighter variant with slightly a faster rate of fire.

[butterflyhope333]

Smaller barrels as well.

[zasponx]

en , to, tre! nu skylder jeg.

[CamaroSS2236]

Those bullets must not have been smart enough to fire off. "dummy rounds"

[Andakar]

*lol* that's a classic 40 round burst *rofl*

[0212c]

M61 is 20mm yes. i got an ammo box for 20mm rounds in my room as i type :)

[ozgulkaan]

This is M61, used on F-16 aircraft.Can fire 500 rounds in 5 sec. It is a 20 mm cannon.

[6nbay]

nabıyo lan bu aq?

ne tür bi makina

[PrimalConcrete50]

Amazing. Gotta be fun for deer hunting!

[Razgriz470]

I feel sorry for the deer then

[DannyMcGurkMonifieth]

I dont think there will be any deer left

[gmodgod12]

there will be some left but they will get ripped in to bits

[stavealave]

and what would you do with that deer, mount its tiny pieces of bones on your wall? lolololol nice comment, how bout terrorist hunting ;]

[gmodgod12]

that would be better

[Lonewolf6565]

@DannyMcGurkMonifieth

sure there will. but it will be in mist format. :)

[ythefuknot]

its m61 alright it fired 40 20mm rounds

[rpghampsterdude]

Those don't look big enough to be 40mm, I'd say more like 20, maybe 30mm, but hey, still a cool video

[gavinK8]

the title "40 dummy rounds" is the # of rounds, not the size of the rounds

[Skodpadde]

This gun is probably danish - the man who are talking is saying "Er du klar? Jeg tæller ned. Tre, to en.."

Traslated this means:

"Are you ready? I'll count down. Three, two one.."

[DarkAndLostSoul]

Youtube is becomeing a fucking racist place...............*sigh*

[JenkyBoom]

was that 100 rounds?

[dungman101]

ok...for the past few months i have been racially irate to the public. now i have been under fire. i never knew such type of round existed, or such gun. i apologize for the offenses and feeling that were hurt. and taking up server sapce to.

-dungman

[Trendkillertrendy]

Are you a nigger?

[dungman101]

shut up. ur not funny.

[dungman101]

space*

[Trendkillertrendy]

are you a nigger?

[Chen1766231]

those are dummy rounds since they had no gunpowder.

no flare/flash/smoke and th erounds rolled right out of the gun as it spun. 40 rounds in less then half a second, possible 5000 rpm. still insanely fast. Wait for MetalStorm.

[phocjame]

And why, Mr. Facist, do you not like it?

[dungman101]

yeah wut ev

but dummy rounds?!?!?!?!?!

are you nuts?!?!?!

its BLANK ROUNDS MUTHA FUCKA BLANK BLANK

BEE-EL-AA-NN-KAY

BLANK!

BLANK!

DUMMY? WTF?

[phocjame]

Learn to speak English, you dumb fuck.

[dungman101]

so uh, u wanna get into the argument?

ok then

lets start off by asking, "what race are you?"

i got predictions....

[phocjame]

Ok then, i'm a white, English person.

Although, why precisely should it matter what race I am?

Are you wary of anyone that is not white, with blond hair & blue eyes?

Are you a Nazi?

Are you a facist?

Are you a British National Party member?

Are you a KKK member?

You Sir, are a distressingly dim-witted cretin.

[dungman101]

i could be ur race too....and if i am, i dont like it

[vipondiu]

Dummy rounds aren't powdered, blank round do.

In this vid dummy rounds are used. In the vid title "dummy" word is used. What's wrong?

[dungman101]

1. its not dummy. dummy is unloaded, dumfuck. u mean blanks ass hole.

2. 6000 rpm? pfft ok buddy!

[TykSakdotnet]

Check the video info!

[lonelykimiko]

Dummy rounds is also correct, and the gun does fire 100 rounds a second, which is 6000 a minute. Also, try learning a little English ^^ . Great video, thanks for posting!

[dungman101]

dummy is for technical traning use only. for mechanics. fucking bitchy brits.

[plcazador]

that was fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eduar967]

wow!!! amazing
