Husits ​​set up M61 Vulcan gun pickup groups

94

Reports are coming from Yemen that the units of the Ansar Allah’s armed wing, known as the Hussites, have created new assault units. The main type of equipment - pickups with very original weapons.

We are talking about such weapons as six-barreled guns M61 Vulcan rotating type. Initially, these were exclusively aviation-based guns. In particular, their use is correlated with American-made fighters, including F-16 fighters.



Guns "Volcano" in connection with the presence of 6 barrels have a high rate of fire - up to 6,6 thousand rounds per minute. The gun has a hydraulic drive. The ammunition that is used is 20 mm caliber. Last year, 60 years have passed since the M61 Vulcan was put into service with the US Army. Since then, the gun has managed to prove itself in a variety of conflicts, including wars in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf.

Now the "Volcanoes" decided to use as the basis for the weapons of the assault troops and the Hussites.

To use the M61 Vulcan, the Hussites “farm” Japanese SUVs to the maximum extent possible, removing what is called excess. This can be seen in the presented frame.

It has been reported that for several days the Hussite assault groups tried to break through the defenses of the so-called Saudi coalition in the Khodeida region, but so far the representatives of this coalition have been able to restrain the “raids” of the Hussites. The difficulty for the Saudi military and those supported by Yemeni forces is that the Hussites do not advance on a united front, but conduct quick attacks with the help of several mobile groups. At any opportunity, these groups are dispersed on the ground, which makes it impossible to deliver a “decisive” blow to them.

      In Yemen, there were 20 M-163 ZSUs, as of 2010, as well as a certain number of M-167 ZUs, which they mounted on jeeps, for some reason the look of our 23x2 ZUs no longer causes such a stir, but here ..

On the Internet, as I understood, all the photos in the search are confused and even on the wiki in the article about XM214 it is written that Arnie ran with him, and in the article about M134 - what happened to him. It seems yes, it is M134. Under 5.56 it looks different for some links.

          About this episode.
          I read somewhere, the director of the predator told how they shot an episode with the shooting of this prodigy.
          A pillar was dug into the ground against him, the actor was leaning against him and he was shooting. It was possible to remove the double from the 10th, since the actor was constantly unfolding from the recoil, or strove to injure the spent cartridges.

        But didn’t they use the XM214 Microgun (5,56x45) there? the weight of M134 (Minigun) is about 30 kg + batteries for the promotion of trunks, is it not heavy? even for Arnie, considering also awesome return. A Microgan (hm214) weighs about 10 kg

      in the film “Predator”, the actor had to put on a mask and body armor so as not to be disfigured by the fired blank cartridges flying at high speed, and he had to set up a back support so that the shooter would not blow away the shot. And this despite the fact that the rate of fire, when shooting a film, was half the normal.

      the machine gun from which they shot from the hands of the film “Predator” and “Terminator 2” has its own designation XM214 Microgun of a smaller caliber 5,56x45 mm and is the latest development of the US military concern. It was with this lightweight version of the six-barreled machine gun that the Pentagon initially intended to arm its infantry. But because of the bulkiness and strong recoil when shooting, this project was realized only in the cinema.

      In the Union in the 70s they tried to rearm the shilka for 6-30 gsh but this option did not pass

      The helicopter was a 4-barrel installation of 12,7 mm. I didn’t go either.
      Somehow not very with multi-barrel systems.

    At any opportunity, these groups are dispersed on the ground, which makes it impossible to deliver a "decisive" blow to them.

    It reminds someone ... Either Polovtsian, or Pecheneg ...
    In short, nothing new under the moon.
    By the way, methods of dealing with such misfortune have also long been known.

      You hint at the type - "And the prince went to the Polovtsians, and beat them without number, and burned their camps, and slaughtered their cattle, and sold their women and their children into slavery ... And peace came for ten years in the Russian land .." Cool, but ...

        No, I’m hinting at the type of Great Wall of China. wassat

    What kind of "zhurnolamer" wrote? :) 1) The drive is electric (there is a motor for several kW at the end, which turns the whole mechanics of "gatling") 2) 6000 rpm is the peak rate of fire, test. Real pace (so that it doesn't jam) - 3-4 thousand v / m

    And, of course, "Abdullah the mechanic" has no idea about the law of conservation of momentum (for, at most, he graduated from school 2-3 grades, with luck) - so "shaitan-arba" "before the first volley with barrels sideways" :)

      I also scratched my eyes, I always thought that there was an electrician there, or like a 161 gas vent.
      Looked at Wiki ... from, damn ... black in English: The M61 Vulcan is a hydraulically, electrically or pneumatically driven, six-barrel, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon
      Wat so Wat, even a pneumatic drive happens
      Live a century, learn a century ... you die a fool

    I’m wondering, but do you carry a compressor for this wunderwafle with you? With ammunition is also a question. Well, the question of returns remains. GSh 6-23 seems to roll back 5 tons. There is less, of course, but still.

    Electrics like on the ship's phalanxes. And this miracle has hydraulics or pneumatics. With hydraulics in general there. Where-the thread behind a pair of 208-liter barrels are shorter. laughing
