Minigun, 7.62mm, M134 Series
LIN L92323, NSN 1005-00-903-0751
The Minigun is a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire (over 3,000 rounds per minute), employing Gatling-style rotating barrels with an external power source. In popular culture, the term "minigun" has come to refer to any externally-powered Gatling gun of rifle caliber, though the term is sometimes used to refer to guns of similar rates of fire and configuration, regardless of power source and caliber. Specifically, minigun refers to a single weapon, originally produced by General Electric. The "mini" of the name is in comparison to designs that use a similar firing mechanism but larger shells, such as General Electric's earlier 20 mm M61 Vulcan.
The ArmyProperty.com team is searching for BII and COEI lists for the M134 Minigun. None are known to exist right now. In the meantime, we are working on a list of parts which DO have NSNs; taken from the Dillon Aero website.
