Why did the us go with a shit electric powered mini gun when EMPs and simply running out of fuel or getting it wet are a thing?
Electric ones have so many more failure points.
GShG-7.62 machine gun Russian gas operated mini gun.

You obviously did not think this through.

Because externally powered guns are orders of magnitude more reliable.

not that type of gas lol
>>
>>34393006
>gas operated
too unreliable. Hand crank or bust
>>
they're vehicle-mounted weapons so they will naturally have a power source

>running out of fuel
The battery continues to work after running out of fuel. Running out of fuel is a MUCH larger concern than operating the gun, seeing as miniguns are usually used in helicopters
>EMP
video game memes. EMPs only affect unhardened electronics like computers. A rotary gun's electric motor will not be damaged. At all.
>wet
It's affected by water. Pic related
>many more failure points
no, electric motors are very simple and reliable. The vast majority of rotary guns are electric.

Yeah and if the whatever generator is attached to it runs out of fuel then the gun is worthless or whatever battery is used to power it.

Nigger, if you run a mini gun so hard that you need a DEDICATED generator And you empty the fucking fuel tank you have MUCH worse logistical concerns than 5 gallons of gas, like how do you explain to your superiors you just fired off half a million dollars worth of ammo in one engagement.
