On display at the Hill Aerospace Museum is an M-61 Vulcan, one of the most surprisingly durable aircraft guns ever devised.

Sure, it’d look a little funny fitted to a ring mount on top of my VW, but a man can dream…

  1. Until fairly recently, I didn’t realize just how far back that gun’s origin went.
    Richard Gatling patented the concept of a electric driven version of his Gatling Gun in 1893 (US Patent #502,185).

  2. Ok, Scott… I’m thinking the GUN is almost the SIZE of a VW… We looking at an alternate propulsion system here?
    ;o)
