Piper's Precision M-134A2 Vulcan Minigun

M-134A2 Vulcan Minigun Basic Package: Includes 1x M134A2 Vulcan Minigun, 1x 20oz Co 2 bottle, 1x Regulator (Customer's Preference for velocity) , 1x 14.4V 1500mAh Ni-Cad Battery, 1x Overnight Battery Charger, 1x HPA Airline, 1x Bottle Pouch and 1x Bag of Airsoft Elite .25g BB's. Caracteristics: Caliber: 6mm Steel .88g BB or 6mm Plastic Airsoft (.20g or .25g) BB. (The M-134A2 is capable of shooting both plastic and/or steel BB's through the same barrel; 6mm Steel BB's are NOT for use for airsoft skimishing!). Velocity: 280 fps to 600fps (Depends on regulator and BB weight and customer's preferences). Rate of Fire: 50 Rounds Per Second or 3,000 Rounds Per Minute. Range: 50-75 Yards on a Human Sized Target (Effective); 100-125 Yards on a Human Sized Target (Maximum). Power Source: Co2 or High Pressure Air (HPA) Compressed Air Tank or Air Compressor (150 PSI, CFM 20-25 Recommended); 14.4 Volt 1500mAh Ni-Cad Battery (Powers the motor which spins the barrels. The M-134A2 is powered by both electricity and compressed air. The electricty comes via a high powered battery and powers the motor which controls the rotation of the barrel and the compressed air source physically propells the BB out the barrel. Inside the reciever is a central hub machined from Delron, a frictionless polymer compound, which houses a complex series of cams and bolts. During each revolution, the central hub, through a patented firing system engineered by Paul Piper of Piper's Precision Products (Patent 6,152,125) will pick up a BB from the central hopper and chamber it into the barrel. Each barrel has its own dedicated bolt and loading system independent from one another. It fires from a closed bolt system and features collasping design to insure no damage will occur due to misfire or misfeed. As each barrel rotates into the 11 o'clock position, it passes in front of the constantly expelled compressed air that is activated by the trigger, thus firing out the BB. As one barrel is firing the others are in the stages of being loaded, thus producing the high rate of fire. The weapon features many failsafe systems to minimum damage and wear and increase reliablity. In fact, the R&D test and demo M-134A1 model used by both Piper's Precision Products and X-Caliber Tactical over the last two years has to date reliably fired over 1,002,000 rounds without any maintainence or notable wear. The weapon's internal ammunition hopper runs from the back of the weapon underneath the pistol grip, through the center reciever and into the central support tube of the barrel cluster to the very end of the muzzle. The gun's internal feed mechnaism loads BB's from inside the middle of the reciever itself and since the hopper is prone to the effects of gravity, the weapon may start to sporatically fire when this part of the hopper gets close to empty. Because the gun works from an external compressed air source, the muzzle velocity is directly dependent on the air flow from the supply source. An air regulator attached onto the compressed air tank will control the flow rate and thus the velocity of the BB's. To increase or decrease the velocity of the BB's, the user must change regulators. The M-134A2 Vulcan does not have nor is capable of a semi-automatic setting. The trigger simply powers the motor to turn the barrel cluster, thus starting the firing process and opens up the air valve to allow for constant flow aslong as the trigger is depressed.
