I was inspired to make this after watching the clone wars series, whereupon I saw a clonetrooper with a minigun...

Hence I set abut making my own.
I won't bore you with the full how to (unless explicitly asked for it)

But I WILL show you the pic and the movie (cos I made so that the barrels spin)

Yes, way cool. Does it spin? Does it tip you over (:)) and how do you harness for an EpII/CW look?

And since you mentioned, at least at a high level, what are the major piece parts?

WAY COOL.

Yes it spins (the video link in the first post shows it spinning) :)
(No it doesn't tip me over)
So far there's no harness, just hold the grips and press the switch.
Its damned heavy, so there will be a sling (cos I'm not musclebound in any way shape or form)

Major parts:
Cheap rechargable drill
22mm PVC overflow pipe
110mm Soil Pipe
Leaf guard for 110mm soil pipe
Joystick handle
10mm aluminium rod

Excellent Job, Rob! Freaking Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooooooooooo jealous. I wanted to do a mini gun but they don't make themselves. And I would probably be better if I just wait till it did. :lol:

Cool PB archive. Thanks!
