cool. u learn something every day

I had one of the Echo 1 (CAW) miniguns for sale last year. There is a warning in the manual that if you use it for one minute straight, you have to let the motor cool for 15 minutes.

There is no price on the CA gun yet (I don't know if CA makes it or re-brands it) because it hasn't made it to the US distributor (Spartan Imports) yet.

Actually the recommendation is no more than 5 second burst (1 missisippi, 2 miss....) each trigger pull to ensure that the motor wont burn out and as for CA minigun I highly suspect it's going to be a rebrand unless CA is that ballsy and willing to gamble based on the popularity and hopefully a huge return on investment in the US/Asian market to actually build one from scratch (design, R&D, manufacturing etc.)

Yes. Echo1 doesn't actually make anything, they just rebrand guns and sell them. (and do more QC, etc)

damn I read that and thought they killed a mac :(:p


would redesigning it to use better quality parts still count as a clone?

Not really but to redesign something to make it better still cost a butt load of cash especially on something big and expensive as the M134, on the other hand Classic Army have been doing a good job so far fixing up TM weak points.

hoooo it runs with HPA, nice......

now imagine two of these setup as an automatic turret. I know it would be heavy as hell but imagine trying to get past it.

The separate gas chamber really ruins it.......too close to paintball

just hide it in an "ammo" pack

Just makes it more practical and louder :), I imagine one of those bitches having quite the distinctive sound fired in your direction.

lol I can imagine someone bring this for a outdoor game.

I got shot by one of the old ASAHI M134 that belong to one of the AMC players years ago at the old Wasaga field, all I can say is thank you Larry and the rest of the boys if it were not for you guys seperating us I would be in Jail for shoving that 6 barrel thunderstick up his ass.

The Asahi was Loud in comparison to an AEG or even a GBBR That hellish "WrrrrrrBraaaappp" noise that it makes still made me tingle (I was pulling BB's out of my hair/head the next day)

Didn't you guys watch the video before commenting? Or were you all mesmerized by Maria?

The CA is a licensed copy of the Piper Precision minigun.

WRRRRRRRR,BRAAAAAAPPPPPP and then in a distance you will hear the whole field yelling at you "Faacck dude he called hit long ago did'nt you hear him???" meanwhile you'll be calling an EMS just incase the guy you shot at comes after YOU!
