why are those called mini guns? there's nothing mini about it

It's a scaled-down (7.62 Nato) of the original 20 mm Vulcan machine gun.

 

They're like $80k, burn $500/min of ammo and are totally awesome.

never been in that situation but can't you just shoot them in the leg or something?  or do you have to kill them to keep them from suing you?

He was aiming at his head to begin with.

You can easily die from getting shot in the leg.  Hit the femoral artery or the femur itself.  Lights out.

You don't draw your weapon unless you need to use deadly force.  And when you shoot, you shoot to kill.  Killing is a terrible thing for sure.  Sucks that the other guy didn't just walk away.

I'm no Surly law dog, but I think he was wholly justified in shooting him.  Be it in the chest or in the head.  Dude had a weapon pointed at him and just came anyway.  Obviously drugs or a mental issue.  Shooter needed to protect his own.

Brought fists to a gun fight.  Dumbass.

The one night I spent in jail was for carrying concealed weapons. I was at a bar in Denver and the cop saw me put my hands in my pockets.

Schlitterbahn tried it. It didn’t end well.

I know a guy that worked maintenance for Schlitterbahn years ago. He's a HSE now. He was not impressed by the guys who owned/ designed Schlitterbahn and rumored that there were a lot of injuries that were covered up and buried. He refused to get on any of their rides.

It's visually impressive because it's at the top of a skyscraper, but there are hundreds of videos of those planes landing and taking off with zero area online.
