Frequently Asked Questions

What is the R3dNeck MiniGun?

The R3dNeck MiniGun is a custom-built Gatling-style firearm conceptualized by Edwin Sarkissian and built by Richard (Royal Nonsuch). It features three Gilboa double-barrel AR-15 rifles mounted in a rotating frame, creating a six-barrel Gatling gun capable of high-volume fire.

How does the R3dNeck MiniGun's trigger mechanism work?

The firearm uses a motor-driven system to rotate the barrels. A fixed cam mechanism strikes levers attached to the triggers of the mounted rifles as they rotate, enabling sequential firing. A safety plunger allows for engagement or disengagement of this firing mechanism.

What kind of ballistic testing was performed on the R3dNeck MiniGun?

Extensive testing included firing at a Ballistic Dummy Lab torso, multiple vehicle doors (Toyota Tundra, Dodge Ram 1500), an RTS Tactical ballistic shield, and a thick concrete wall to demonstrate its destructive capabilities and penetration power.

What is the ammunition capacity of the R3dNeck MiniGun?

The R3dNeck MiniGun is equipped with six 30-round Hexmags, providing a total ammunition capacity of 180 rounds per firing cycle before needing to reload or cycle to the next set of magazines.
