POV 1 Gun Test

This was to test the ruggedness of the POV.1 by VIO when mounted to both the GAU2 (Minigun) and the GAU18 (M2 .50 caliber). It held up pretty well!!!

The minigun spins at a much faster rate than depicted. The apparent "slow" rotation of the barrels is caused by the limitation of the frame rate of the camera. No camera of this size can depict the realtime speed of rotation. The gun has two rates of fire 2000 rounds-per-minute or 4000 rounds-per-minute. Both rates of fire were captured on this video and should be apparent.

A little disclaimer. This is NOT an official endorsement of the camera or the company by any US government agency. This is me testing it to bring a little bit of what we do to you!

Enjoy!!

I agree.....I donated a camera to the AG/FE section. I am trying to score another one so both sides have one!

JUST KIDDING!

See how some of the unburned gas/powder is ignited by tracer occasionally just outside of the flash hider? nice.

there is no way that is real! Those guns are only in the movies. i have seen better graphics on an atari!! the fake moon video is even better than that and it was faked in the 60's!!

This is outstanding, should definitely be a standard config item for the GAU's on deployments now. Would be an easy enough footage download after each mission.
