Fresh support for Minigun revives a 1960s classic through feeder/delinker upgrade

Article Abstract:

Dillon Aero has developed a new feeder/delinker for the 7.62 mm GAU- 2B/M134 Minigun, which is still widely used by military forces despite having been out of production for a long time. The new feeder/delinker system has reduced stoppages and enhanced reliability, stability, ammunition loading and fire control of the Minigun. It can also be easily removed while in flight and has also allowed the Minigun to use almost all types of 7.62 x 51 mm amunition.
