.22 mingun?

is/was there ever a mingun of .22 calibre? if not why not?

The American-180 is probably as close to a 22Caliber minigun as you will ever get!

It can fire .22LR at 1200RPM and .22ILARCO at 1500RPM

There are BB-miniguns too, both for airsoft and regular .117cal airguns...

Is 10 000 rpm enough?

There is an ad in Home Shop Machinist Magazine for plans to build your own .22 minigun. A friend of mine bought them once and thought he would build it, although he never did, and frankly he didn't have enough skill to do so either. The plans say that they are for entertainment purposes only and that you should not build it, as it is illegal for most of us. The plans cost I think about $50, but that was 10 years ago. The design sold at the time used a hand-crank for rotation. The ammunition chain used a stitched fabric chain to link the rounds. Sorry, I have not seen a website for these plans, but there are other mini-guns I have seen out there on the web.

Lol. Reminds me of the 10/22 "Gattling Gun" kits. You used to see these in gun shows all the time.

Wow thats awesome

Hmm, i've seen kits on auction arms... Pretty scary to think people own these things! I saw an AK-47 conversion kit too. Power mad.

But, im in the UK, so I really am bought up to think guns are bad, see. I would love one though, but the though of loads of people bieng able to get them scares me. Its one of those things I would like but will never get if you know what I mean.

I would love a video of one in action cutting up cars and stuff.

No need to be afraid of citizens owning mini-guns. In 1961 thru 1963 I sold 75mm Cannons (USA) and the rounds to go along to the local farmers. I never picked up the morning newspaper with the headlines reading farmer Smith blasts farmer Jones with 75mm cannon. Sure it can happen, but look what the government has to unleash on the man on the street who may resist the fascism going in Britain at the moment. Ugh, that would not be very pretty. Weapons with massive firepower are useful against a rogue government. What say you...? Our government fears the people so they're going to have to unleash a plague or something of that nature to get the people to submit. Reminds me of the movie "V for Vendetta." Have you Brit seen that movie? It could give you dawgs a few pointers me thinks....

Really, You are all brought up to think that guns are bad? Do they teach this in school or what?

WoW... that explains why many brits are so hardcore anti-self defense (cept the crazy ones who think they are kung-fu master).

Number of guns and gun owners in USA? (about 80 million total)

Most estimates range between 39% and 50% of US households having at least one gun(thats about 43-55 million households). The estimates for the number of privately owned guns range from 190 million to 300 million. Removed those that skew the stats for thier own purposes the best estimates are about 45% or 52 million of american households owning 260 million guns).
