The Henchman Gun- AR Minigun!

[Killbucket]

Somebody needs to make a movie about the typical "Movie Hench-man". He gets up in the morning, eats generic hench-cereal, kisses the hench-wife, and heads off in his hench-mobile. You could show him getting in late, and being shot for it. Of course, the boss misses, and hits the "big evil thing", it blows up, and everybody has to go interview for new henchjobs again.


This got completed and wired up, like the gloss?








A: Control buttons, rotation, ammo pre-feed.
B: 55Turn RC lathe motor.
C: Reworked RC servo to feed ammo.
D: Quick-disconnects as needed.
E: Rear section comes off, gun breaks down without hand tools.
F: Fake links can be tied into this area.

Bear in mind, this is a one-of-a-kind, I'm not planning any duplicates.


Whip off the two wing nuts, and the battery cover slides off (all three locations are slotted).


516CQ: 5 barrels, 16mm, Close Quarter.
This is all CNC'd ABS. You could throw this thing twenty feet, and it will only get barked up. It's SOLID.


Silver teardrop is the ammo bin fill cover. a full 5,000 round jar will empty into it, with room for more.
I need to make more gun stands.


A top view. Some don't like shiny guns. I do, so it got an entire can of clear added.


Three crummy stock M14 batteries are used: The yellow-banded pair is wired parallel and runs the airsoft gearbox and winder. The single pack powers the barrels and fire control system.


The gun will not fire unless the barrels are already spinning. Holding both ROTATION buttons enables the 55Turn RC lathe motor, which turns the barrels with a Bissel vacuum cleaner belt. Pulling the trigger then fires the gun in full-auto only.
The ammo servo runs automatically if the gun is firing, but I added a button (blue arrow) to run just it when the gun is re-filled or serviced. That way, it never has to be dry-fired while the ammo gets to the hop-up.


A size comparison with my tattoo'd G36C and sissyfied (Lexus car paint!) Desert Elephant. This is a BIG, 16POUND gat.




I think 1200mAh Nike's were state of the art when RoboCop2 came out...but I have tons of them.

The thing's easy to operate, the M4's safety is still functional, and it needs to be flipped to full-auto op for firing (real mini's have no single-shot mode, and this technically doesn't either).


So, you push the one button on the right-hand side of the forward grip to pre-feed the ammo (I shipped it with a good amount on board from testing, so you can probably skip this on initial use) until the hicap clicks. then, hold the two buttons in together on the other side of the forward grip to spin the barrels up.
You then pull the trigger to fire the airsoft BB's.
The barrels spin right on the M4's outer barrel. SYNTHETIC wheel bearing grease (and ONLY synthetic!) is used to allow spinning.
The belt will likely outlast the gun, but it's the only small one Bissel sells for their hand-vacs.

To break the gun down, remove the center barrel nut (M4 flash hider, reverse-thread!), slide the barrel pack off, and then take of the three wingnuts at the body back. The end cap fits VERY snugly, just pull it straight back, and the M4 chassis will come out.

there's your movie henchman

Interesting design. The G36 tatts look really nice as well, haha.

That looks like the gun the Sardaukar shock troops use in the movie Dune

Nice work on that, very nice work done.

JUST ONCE, I want to see the end credits, WITHOUT a clicky, snap, slide, ka-choomf, snap-snap-snap, zip, and all at belt buckle height, "Loadout" scene. Not sure if I imagined it into the work above, sorry.

JUST ONCE, I want to see an Action Movie end in a brightly lit, easy-to-grasp environment. How about a Zoo?

JUST ONCE, I want to see an Action Hero's long coat snag on something, and clothesline his butt.

JUST ONCE, I want the Bad Guy to be dead...the FIRST time.

JUST ONCE, I want a "Princess To Rescue" who's a fat, mean, un-likable person.

Just ONCE, I want....
