The Photographer Should Have Used a Cannon, not a Canon


Or a minigun.


Yeah, I know, "First Amendment" and "the antidote to hate speech is more speech."

As Blue Girl noted, the Phelps are on the verge of having their home church and other property sold to satisfy a judgment against them. That couldn't happen to a more deserving group of goons.

The minigun, still, is a nice fantasy.

  1. That bunch infuriates me; I always wish I could slap the living shit out of them.

  2. Multi-thousand-round bursts without overheating? Holy shit, what does that thing have for cooling?

  3. Deadstick, keep in mind that there are six barrels on that thing, so each barrel is firing 500 rounds/min. The barrels are whirling around, there is some cooling there, too.

  4. Yeah, but a .50 BMG will overheat at 500 rpm if you don't keep the bursts short...and the Gatling arrangement gives something less than a 6-to-1 cooling advantage, because the barrels are spinning largely through hot air from one another. Aircraft versions depend heavily on ram air.

    I know, I ought to "shrink the link". I'm just lazy.
    These Mythbuster morons are idiots.
    Link is to a .303 Vickers.
    I believe, in 400 rounds.
