M134 minigun and M240 CPMG comparison

[iluvmym4]

Thats a lot of ammo waisted on hitting such a huge target! Might as well drop a nuke Just to kill a hamster!

[airsoftvt]

There is only one reason for a video like this to exist and that is fear. People are starting to ask if the terminator gun is worth the investment and the factories response boils down to 'well you didn't need that extra ammo anyway'

[formigatomicaa]

Plus, minigun practically doesn't have  recoil.

[TiMfilms60]

M134- overkill when you need it

[kjsh987]

m240 is good for suporting fire and ambushes but the minigun is just awesome and in every case.

[icefiredarksector748]

:0............1:23 let's look at that again.

[poulha]

Agree wt. ppk45 and others. Cost efficiency matters. AK47 made its mark in history but is still very much lowtech. Military forces may evolve into such expensive hightech that they literaly paint themselves out of history. The trick is to combine hightech and cost efficiency and then keep the expensive hightech weaponry for those critical situations where they are really needed.

[ppk45]

but it m240 made the kill can only cost about $9.00 (.75 per round). the mini cost $82.5 (110x$.75) to kill the same target.

[OGproductions45]

you cannot compare these 2 weapons, any weapon with a gatlin mechanism can not be carried in the way that the m240b or the m249, as a Squad Atuomatic Weapon. the 249 is a piece of shit. the 240b is one of the best weapon systems i have ever used. Yes the gatlin can shoot faster and you don't have to change out the barrels but you have to mount a gatlin which limits your options on the battlefield especially when ambusing, not to mention you need batteries to spin the gun up.

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

anyone think a 556 minigun could be converted to 6.8x45mm? its supposed to be almost identical to the 6.8 spc but its based on the 556 just with a larger grain bullet... so the only thing on most weapons that needs to be changes to switch calibres is the barrel... as far as ive heard anyway.

[AlanCast2]

In actuality these are both area weapons i'd rather hav the wider spread in a moving conflict, shot density is NOT the aim of the game.

[finnczubak]

The real question is which one would you rather be behind during a fire fight self explainitory I reckon

[Acrimony01]

the lack of recoil helps it stay on target, but it's way more expensive, must be mounted and ffs it shot like 5000 rounds in that burst of course it's gonna annihilate it.

[GTFORDMAN]

M134, When you just absoluty must kill everything!

[henu203]

that...is...brutal :D if you really wana kill a lot people in war, you should choice minigun :P

[supernaturalguru]

But that gatling gun wud`ve fired about 1300 rounds in 10 seconds.

If u got the M240 to fire the same amount of bullets it would get the same amount of hits.

Ir fired 130 rounds so if u multiply the number of hits by 10 u get 120 hits showing the M240 is better when firing the same amount of rounds.

Stupid people who made this.

[PussyDesecrator]

Well, you're welcome to sit around, waiting for the target to eventually be destroyed by the M240, while being pelted with bullets and rockets from the ground. Myself, I'll take the minigun, destroy the target in no time and get the hell away.

[KironStrife]

What I'd like to see is the same test, only both guns have the same number of rounds. then let's see which one comes out on top.

[bobotea1234]

yes sir

[blackmonte187]

i really think i would like 10x the ammo delivered in the same amount of time...i dont know about you.

[Pyre001]

Idd, if you compare the number of bullets that hit, the minigun whould score around 20% accuracy on 200 rounds, while the m240 hits 50%

[barbaralovesblack]

OK, but let's not forget that the role of a machinegun is to operate long a like range shotgun putting as minutes projectiles into the target area as quickly as possible. And then there is the suppression factor to consider.

[Jujutsuka4LIfe]

That m240 is a beaut. Compared to a minigun though it loses miserably lol

[barbaralovesblack]

Let's see, 8000 rounds per minute versus 600 rounds per minute . . . the question is why only 9.5 times the hits. Why not at least 13 times as many? Or, does 8000/600 not equal 13.3?

[casaroli]

because physics in real life is not mathematically precise!

[ctingley89]

The point is not that it's more accurate, it's that it puts more fire on target in the same amount of time. You are correct, the M240 is more accurate. However, the M134 kills the target faster.

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

ya i didnt like thise video in that respect; the m134 fires 3000+ rounds per minute, the M240 fires 600 so saying a ten round burst is a fair way to test the accuracies based on how many rounds hit the target is fucking redicules.

that said after a weapon reaches 2000+ rpm it does recieve an accuracy bonus.

[NavySEAL11]

In my opinion I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those rounds either way. lol

[TheRealMrT]

Top FUCKEN VID MATE!!! YEAH!! Gotta love the gattling mang. woot

[SpenzOT]

I believe this video is directed towards comparing light mounted weaponry. Obviously if they were trying to dress down the M240 as a whole (as many seem to think due to their comments) they would use the M134 in more situations that the m240 would be applicable in.

However, they are demonstrating the minigun in a fire-suppression role from a helicopter door. Quite frankly the M240 is shit compared to the minigun in this role, as it is in other comparable roles.

[MrDipper]

So like Minigun needs electric to fire right?

But what if electrics are out....

M240 wins.

[TheRealMrT]

Spenz, stop talkin crap and just say..... "Cool Video" or somethin mate.

[scallywag86]

besides...miniguns require an external power source to fire...the M240 would still be operational after the copper was shot down

not trying to knock the minigun but the video is a little biased

[scallywag86]

Though i`d like to pair an M134 against an M2HB

[nicolas93]

yes, but the browning M2HB has alot more disadvantges compared to the minigun like overheating and a relitevly slow rate of fire

[scallywag86]

better range though

[nicolas93]

yes because the larger caliber and it also hits harder but the minigun just throws a hail of bullets at the enemy and it shreds them lol

[Jujutsuka4LIfe]

I know which one i'd want to hump around on patrol. Still gotta love the lead wall the minigun put out.

[Jujutsuka4LIfe]

[scallywag86]

minguns are good for quickly dispatching targets from a vehicle...laying down heavy suppressing fire, disabling vehicles and providing more firepower than most other weapons...the M134 however eats ammo too quickly for a serious firefight. You have more time in a burst to re-align the sights to a target with the M240...the M134 chews through 10x the ammo in the same amount of time.

[baronofcheese]

you need an extremely high rate of fire in order to manage to get all of the small target windows in air combat, what the statement that those people were making was that the m-240 would have been more m-240 than the m134, so these guys were just proving them wrong

[Joserman]

this video is total bullshit

in those ten seconds if im right the m134 shot around 10 times more bullets then the m240. of course its going to get more hits, not to mention that the minigun has very little recoil becuase it doesnt use the same barrel twice in a row. not a fair match up.

[Makron5]

The whole idea was that it's rate of fire equals more shots in a time window. At least the fireworks are spectacular for as long as the M134 lasts.

[Joserman]

i see what you mean. very true

[rangerstubbs76]

Of course, we're talking two different weapons meant for two different applications. Being that the 240 can be carried by one man and an AG, (assistant gunner) because of its 26lb weight, its an infantry weapon. The 134 weighs a whopping 176lbs without the mount. It's mounted on vehicles ONLY. Yes, the 130 vs. the 1300 or so rds fired will make a difference too on hit ratio, nobody needs a video to see it. Shame on Dillon for misrepresentating a very fine MG in the M240G.

[Shaggynz]

what he is saying is... a 10 second burst for the m240 is 130 rds... and extrapolating from vulcan gun being 10 times more likely to hit i guess it's 1300 rds for it

[Shaggynz]

by vulcan i mean minigun (not sure if there's a difference and dont really care hehe)

[MadShroomer]

m134 wins no questions

[omnislashvr13]

well thats the point the m240 is menat for infantry targets and the M134 is eant for fast moving targets like cars,APC,tanks and boats

[deadlycombatant]

you like the soothing voice of gay people dont you dungman101, if you say you dont then this guy obviously isnt gay, and the fact is if you get shot at by a minigun you might as well stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye... bitch

[encircler]

one more thing at 1:32 the m134 juSt shells that target

[encircler]

its funer to scream and fire a m240

[slebbeog]

130 rounds or 10 sec? Both shoot way over 3 seconds, don't they? Wouldn't that 130 rounds then be exceeded by both?

How stupid can advertiser get?

[SlashIStheShit]

one more thing, he did say how many rounds they will fire, 130 rounds, or 10 sec.

[SlashIStheShit]

so what DO you think Serkor?

[Serkor]

The guy didn't said how many rounds he gatling fired. It were 500 rounds, three times as much. So the gatling has just a three times higher chance to hit. But I don't think this is because it fires more but because it is more stable, probably because it is thrice times as heavy as the M240.

[ncst8wolfpack]

More rounds fired obviously means more will hit their target. Good vid none the less.

[dungman101]

ur gay man. get ur fucking facts strait, bitch
