The bullets themselves are tiny compared to those in a typical LMG/MMG.

The "Mini" in the name is in comparison to designs that use a similar firing mechanism but larger shells, such as General Electric's earlier 20-millimeter M61 Vulcan, and "gun" for a caliber size smaller than that of a cannon, typically 20 mm and higher.

This comes from the thread where I said mulching things with a min-gun sounds slightly agreeable, right?

Didn't the Vikings do that to confuse people or something? And Iceland is the nice paradise.

well it's not really mini at all, but the gun it's based off is quite huge compared to it

the bigger gun is called a vulcan, and the mini gun is actually called a minivulcan

mmhm

i just saw that again with a couple of friends who had never seen it before

one of my friends said he enjoyed it, but thought some of sarah connor's dialogue was really cringeworthy
like, every single time she tried to make a philosophical point, or whatever

oh, and he didn't like how the terminator came back to life

he's silly--he doesn't understand how '90s movies work

It was an overall improvement in the series.
It could have ended there.

Haha! No joke I was trying to think of a movie you'd watch that had a mini-gun in it and all I could think of was T2.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

Some Scandinavian (either Swedish or Norwegian, can't remember) got exiled for murder to an island (Greenland) as it was barren and wasn't expected he'd survive. Somehow he passed along a rumour that this "Greenland" was a lush paradise, enticed people to move there and IIRC raised a family there.

But we are waaaaay offtopic now.
