Mounting a Machine Gun

Red Dawn Firearms Database

If a minigun can be mounted on a Mustang, surely a similar idea can be made for our 4runners.

Awww, this happens all the time in the middle east. Hell, i think they even mount cannons to the beds of the old Hilux trucks out there

Anything is feasible with time and imagination.

Problem with a mini gun, is you need an external power supply. Usually 24-28 volts and 58 amps to get it running.

So, there's 3 batteries you'll need in your 4Runner.

Then, there's the immense firepower of that weapon. 3-4k rounds per minute. In order to have any fun, you'd have to fill the inside of the 4Runner with ammo. Even then you'd only have maybe 5 minutes of firing time. You'd have to link all the ammo up, so there's some time wasted, as well as trying to figure out how and where to send the brass and links, seeing as he they fall through the bottom of the weapon system.

Like I said, it can be done, just gotta overcome some obstacles first.

A mini gun would be fantastic on a 4Runner. If like to have a system that I can mount different weapons too. A 240B, 249 SAW, M2, ect.

I like the power of the M2. Rounds are expensive, but you can get everything from FMJ, to armor piercing, to incendiary.

My vote would be to mount a M2 on top of my runner.

I'll be flying and shooting at Dillon Aero in 3 weeks, but I won't have my 4Runner with me to test mount their M134

here are some of my previous trip reports from Scottsdale:
Dillon Aero
Dillon Aero redux

this is from last year in central Texas:
UH-1 with an M134 minigun and M60E4

somewhere I have video of our hog hunt in the UH-1 with SGM Kyle Lamb (ret.) on the Pig...

and then there's this oldie but goodie I posted a few years ago:
minigun on wild hogs

What about a Browning 1919 chambered in .308? Arms list has the semi-autos for $3,400 including a tripod. The only issue I would see is how to mount them. You would need something like this.



Suggestions?

Go for it. It's your rig.

Like I said, I'd want a M2.

Haha, I concur! I'm more of a lover, not a fighter.
