Finally a good use for the skinny tray between the shifter and the cup holders.

[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1480784, member: 21926"] Impressive for sure, same as a .50 BMG. For the mini gun or multi barrel setup there’s the problem of the mount and space required, as well as the added payload for the ammo. Unless you don’t mind being done shooting in 15 seconds. Slightly different for the bmg; you have a gun that’s 3-4 times heavier and ammo is orders of magnitude heavier. Probably the sweet spot would be a twin .30, but frankly a single .30 GPMG is plenty for an urban technical. Now, if you’re dropping into Somalia, ok, give me a .50 a bed full of linked ammo, I don’t care if it ruins the shocks and fully compresses the suspension, I’ve got bigger worries. With a single .30 you can still carry ~4800 rounds of ammo within payload - maybe an even 5,000 if you’re not too big into krispy kremes. A 250 round belt lasts you about 21-24 seconds on a full belt dump, much longer on disciplined burst fire. also, if you have designs on linking several belts together, it’s not worth it (for recreation anyway) At somewhere around 350 - 500 rounds, the barrel heats and expands to the point that the rifling is no longer affecting the projectiles and they tumble end over end right out of the barrel.
