M 134 Gatling Gun

The ancestor to the modern minigun was made in the 1860s. Richard J. Gatling replaced the hand cranked mechanism of a rifle-caliber Gatling gun with an electric motor, a relatively new invention at the time. Even after Gatling slowed down the mechanism, 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 July 25, 1893. Despite Gatling's improvements, the Gatling gun fell into disuse after cheaper, lighter-weight, recoil and gas operated were invented.

its amazing what kind of propaganda you can make when you mix tracer rounds (lighting up ones) with explosive rounds wile shooting stationary targets that dont shoot back

@777MetalForever and they chose to film this in low light condition to enhance tracer effects.
