Reaper, finally I find something I can talk about. The Mini-gun doesn't shake the helicopter that much at all. We run the 4500 round Dillon can and have shot entire 4500 rounds in one continuous burst to no ill effect on the gun. You really didn't want to touch the barrels after that, though. With the mini-gun, you don't really need an aiming device as the tracers pretty much do the pointing for you. Kinda like it's own laser aiming device. See if you can get some SLAP ammo for the gun. SLAP is the Sabo Light Armor Piercing ammunition. It's an evil round for doing in vehicles and items behind cover. It will eat up those mud type buildings you see in that part of the world like nobody's business. The only problem with the battery operated gun system is that when you have run the battery down, the weapon can experience lag in the feed system, where the booster is either pushing harder, or not as hard as the gun drive motor. Might cause jams. The Dillon Feeder/Delinker is the way to go. I'd suggest two per gun system for redundency. But, they clear very easily. Also, use the Dillon closed box ammo chutes. They are much nicer than the older ones still in service and don't allow links to become jammed in the shoot, inducing seperations in the ammo chute. Or, just go for one of these instead. GAU-19 .50cal mini-gun.
