Minigun, need help finding a motor to spin the barrels

[Hoverboots]

Well, the title really says it all. I want to build a minigun with barrels that spin, and I've never done any kind of electrical or technical work like that, so I thought I'd ask around. I mean, somebody must have built one, right?

PVC and a cordless electric drill

Yeah, that's what my friend did for his Heavy costume. He just grabbed his drill and placed some PVC pipes on a base and attached the base to the drill. Works like a charm.

If you happen to have an extra $3,500 laying around, you could just buy an Airsoft Minigun....:eek

a cordless screwdriver would do it, a nice powerdrill would be better, or, if you have an extra 60 bucks sitting around...


There is the Nerf version



Toys R Us has these slightly cheaper though

Yeah i used a £10 cordless drill for my Nemesis minigun build.
