Lightweight and easy to mount on a variety of vehicles, the Dillon Gatling gun puts on a pretty impressive show when firing tracer rounds at night. At 3000 rounds/min, the sound alone would scare the hell out of me on a battlefield.
Although this thing is considerably accurate for what it is, you have to remember that, attached to the side of a helicopter, it basically aims like a shotgun. (It's not going to be used a hostage situation or anything.)You just look down the barrel to aim. And if you want to know where your hitting, just look for whatever is exploding in a fiery ball of death and correct your aim from there.

30 secs?
Huh?
Call me ignorant, but I can't imagine anything we need to fire 3000 RPM at instead of 2000 RPM. At what point is it just ridiculous?
Because its 1000 more dead terrorists per minute...

Suppressing fire. You hear that gun, you run. There's no two ways about it. Not to mention that what it really has a stunning effect on is light armored vehicles. You don't even have two shoot at anything for a full second. Just a nice quick squeeze and a thousand rounds say, "No one is getting out of that car."
