Here goes.
I got side tracked from my halo 4 mark VII foam build, & needed a new weapon to carry anyways.
Lets start with: the NSMG-1 is no specific Mini gun. It's just my made up Mini gun
I started with the barrels
6 barrels, 1 inch PVC held together by 1/4 inch PVC board.
The center shaft is a 1" piece of wood dowl rod.

I used 2. 1" roller bearings along with some nylon gears I found at work off some old discarded machine (origins unknown).

Next i needed a motor.
I went to a local pawn shop & found an old royobi 18vt drill, the same that I have at home. My batteries that I already have will fit so that I eliminated having to buy new batteries, I took that appart & salvaged the motor.

I made the mounts to hold the motor in place out of wood. It's cheap and easy to work with. The belt is a small gear belt with teath notched into it. They help deal with tension issues & are very forgiving.

There is still a lot finishing work to do, detail work, handals, paint, ect....
I should have it finished in a few days.
& yes, the barrels spin:cool

I started painting it today:

I should have this finished up by the end of the week.
Thanks for looking. (thats my son in the last pic not me)
