The proper technique when it comes to prolonging barrel life:

The barrels are not ceramic.I asked some of my buddies that use the minigun for work how they are able to fire them until the barrels are glowing white-hot without failure or turning the barrels into melted cheese. It turns out they are ceramic barrels and not steel. A steel barrel would not withstand that kind of firing. And they do fire them like that often, they constantly train. FYI, my buddies are gunners on USAF Pave Hawks.
that was what, 10k worth of ammo dumped in that vid...? lol
Where are you finding .308 for 30 cents a round? I'll have to scoop up some, that's the same price 5.56 is running me!Since you can find ammo on line for about 30 cents a round I would guess he went through about $600 worth.
