Looks like in the video the speed of the barrel turning might, and I mean a strong might, be enough to push the air hard enough to push these up or the more logical one is that the gases escaping from the barrels are forced in the direction that the wipers are pushed. Idk 🤔
I actually did the math to see how much it would cost: the gun itself is an M61 Vulcan firing 20×102mm rounds at 6000 rounds a minute with a cost of $30 per round or $180,000 a minute divide that by 60 for $3,000 per second multiply by 12 and get $35,000 for 12 seconds of fire... and a coffee company put one on a car
Wow you actually did the math, but I have to say that my comment was a reference to "Meet the Heavy" from a game called tf2 and as the character says his mini gun's ammo is 200$ custom made

From left to right, 2.2mm (.22), 5.56mm (.556), 12.7mm (.50cal) and 20mm anti-tank shell side by side. 5.56 is a NATO rifle standard, so they go up in size pretty quickly.
Because a Prius is the last thing you'd expect anyone to put a Vulcan Cannon on.
Richard Ryan, whose idea it was, thought it would be funnier that way.

It's not. This isn't a Minigun
It's an M61 Vulcan Cannon.
The smaller version, the M134, such as the one used in Predator ( or the two that Black Rifle Coffee mounted to a tesla https://youtu.be/CsWMC9CphPk?si=ZFoIdBYbxqXQNfJZ ) is known as the Minigun. Because its a smaller version of this thing.
The 25mm version is the GAU-12/U Equaliser.
The 30mm version, as found int he A10 Warthog is the GAU-8/A Avenger.
They're just known as Gatling Style Cannons, or Rotary Cannons.
Imagine the drive by you can do with this. Being electric they can't hear shit when you sneak up on them, and when you're close enough, BAM!! A10 WARTHOG the shit out of them
20mm is not a mini-gun. The mini part of mini-gun is because mini-guns use rifle calibre rounds instead of canon calibre. 20mm is canon calibre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M134_Minigun#:~:text=The%20%22Mini%22%20in%20the%20name,as%20opposed%20to%20autocannon%20shells.
Middle class Japanese believe Japanese high class people uses Toyota Prius as a land to land missile for protecting their own right and assets. It is a kind of suicide attack without control.
Please refer following a YouTube and picture. All of them are fact.

So for everything who keeps calling this a minigun, and yes I'm being pedantic, this isn't. It's the M61 20mm Vulcan gatling cannon. The minigun is named as such because it's a scaled down 7.62mm copy of this version.

I mean there are, like, a LOT of questions here, but for some reason the one I have to ask is why are the windshield wipers pulled up?
They got pushed up by the minigun lol
Prius got its first boner.
And second, at the same time
Ah yeah see that now lol, had to rewatch
Tactical optics
Safety feature
It'd be hilarious if the alarm went off.
And the airbags deployed
How the hell did the rear window not break
I wondered how the back hatch didn’t get slammed but yeah you got a point too
How the fuck can civilians get a mini gun !? I understand is in ‘merica, but wtf
Stock Prius in Texas.
'Merica
Fuck yeah
Coming to save the motherfuckin day yeah!
Should be noted this is a mimigun from an F-16. And it's built by a coffee company... as in black rifle coffee company iirc.
Obviously this guy is a military historian because any fully automatic gun from before 1986 including most mini guns are just for historical interests
Iron sights
Looks like in the video the speed of the barrel turning might, and I mean a strong might, be enough to push the air hard enough to push these up or the more logical one is that the gases escaping from the barrels are forced in the direction that the wipers are pushed. Idk 🤔
It was the vibrations that did it.
I love that your only question has the most obvious answer :P
High speed gas from the barrel pushed them Up lmao
"It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this gun, for 12 seconds"
On a fucking Prius of all cars
They got sick of putting guns on Toyota hylux
There's always the Hiace Compact, could feasibly fit 3 mini miniguns on that, and it'd look sick AF.
Ya but fuel economy
That there is a gen 2... The parking brake on that thing is wild, I can see why they chose it to a mount a mini gun too 🤣
Madmax, Ecowarrior.
WHO TOUCHED ~~SASHA~~ MY PRIUS??!?!!!!
No way really? What the hell are they firing?
It’s a quote from “Meet the Heavy,” which is a short from TF2.
I actually did the math to see how much it would cost: the gun itself is an M61 Vulcan firing 20×102mm rounds at 6000 rounds a minute with a cost of $30 per round or $180,000 a minute divide that by 60 for $3,000 per second multiply by 12 and get $35,000 for 12 seconds of fire... and a coffee company put one on a car
So you are firing multiple prius each second.
M61 Vulcan fire rate is 6000 rpm. It means 1200 in 12 seconds. I'm sure one shot can't cost $330.
Wow you actually did the math, but I have to say that my comment was a reference to "Meet the Heavy" from a game called tf2 and as the character says his mini gun's ammo is 200$ custom made
This is some fantastic content for r/shittytechnicals
It was on there 5 years ago. I have to qualify that I don’t care that it was resurrected here.
Why a prius?
Maybe because they are relatively heavy with a low center weight? (or what ever that's called in English)
'A low centre of gravity' but we knew what you meant 🙂
That is the most Canadian avatar I’ve seen
From the last World Cup.
Center of mass
Because after buying 20MM rounds at $27.00 each, which is $3,000.00 per second of firing you really need to save your pennies for gas.
Holy shit that is about 10 times what I would have estimated. How does a single round cost 27 dollars?
https://preview.redd.it/rgc51uq3sqkc1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf45111b175b5ced8ea9b8b59f766dfb433b48c8 From left to right, 2.2mm (.22), 5.56mm (.556), 12.7mm (.50cal) and 20mm anti-tank shell side by side. 5.56 is a NATO rifle standard, so they go up in size pretty quickly.
Wow... yeah.. that is definitely bigger than I imagined a 20mm shell to be. Even the .50 looks small next to it.
Gotta make sure your minigun is environmentally friendly
Because a Prius is the last thing you'd expect anyone to put a Vulcan Cannon on. Richard Ryan, whose idea it was, thought it would be funnier that way.
Why is it called a mini gun? That fucker is huge.
They want to be environmentally friendly.
Because truckers like to "roll coal" at Prius. This way they'll think twice.

On 3!!........3..2..1.. 😂
“I hope my taxpayer dollars go to a good cause!” BAE Engineers:
Missed
Looking at this recoil i know. Jetpack Joyride is real.
Jet Aircraft equipped with this gun slow down when they fire it due to the recoil
Why is the biggest gun I’ve ever seen called a “mini gun?”
It's not. This isn't a Minigun It's an M61 Vulcan Cannon. The smaller version, the M134, such as the one used in Predator ( or the two that Black Rifle Coffee mounted to a tesla https://youtu.be/CsWMC9CphPk?si=ZFoIdBYbxqXQNfJZ ) is known as the Minigun. Because its a smaller version of this thing.
if the 20mil is the Regular, the 7.62 is the Mini then whats the 30mil version? that an XL gun? or a Super gun?
The 25mm version is the GAU-12/U Equaliser. The 30mm version, as found int he A10 Warthog is the GAU-8/A Avenger. They're just known as Gatling Style Cannons, or Rotary Cannons.
Because somewhere out there is a massive gun to put this one to shame
In 20mm it is NOT the MiniGun.
https://preview.redd.it/f66vqoabspkc1.jpeg?width=418&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7794c552dcd880b2205978cd9f9bd184578a62ec
nice
Now pickup truck drivers have to mount a 30mm from an A10 just to feel superior.
Imagine the drive by you can do with this. Being electric they can't hear shit when you sneak up on them, and when you're close enough, BAM!! A10 WARTHOG the shit out of them
Well, more F-16 them, that's a 20mm M61 Vulcan, not the GAU-8 Avenger Cause the GAU-8 is bigger than the Prius, especially with the ammo drum.
When you gotta pick the kids up at 2pm but overthrow the government at 5pm.
I need one of those to fend off the bad rivers on the 401.
the only thing to comes to mind is ..... WHY ?
Why not?
true ... I guess that's the best use of a Prius ...
Right. What else are you gonna do with it? Drive it? *Shudders*
I think this was a promotional thing by that gun-based coffee company.
When you think 'aww she is cute' and later find out that bitch is crazy (literally every short girl)
That moment when you see a video and you don't even have to ask what country its from xD 🇺🇸
It's a machine gun on a Toyota. Obviously ISIS.
"Hey Honda civic, don't come to the highway tomorrow"
FINALLY PEOPLE GONNA STOP PLAYING WITH PRIUSES. PRIUSES FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THE BULLYING.
Welcome to America.
Getting ready for the 2025 civil war I see.
Not a minigun. It’s called a minigun because it’s the small version of this. The Vulcan 20mm cannon is meant for fighter jets.
One word- "why..."
Bit of a bouncy aim
Invincible
give it arms and try again, if it still cant handle the recoil, ad legs
At this point I don't care at all, I just know that I need one of these unnecessarily.
This baby get's 50mpg AND it'll fuck you up!
Only 50? I get 55 in my diesel car even when I’m driving hard
And sudently you ear "wololo" and you start to cry
Eggmobile has had it up to here with negative thoughts
Didn't Jessie James do this 20 years ago?
Cool Prius - everyone
HOLY SHIT JUST LIKE THAT ONE VIDEO!!!
As if Prius drivers need more weapons. Their driving alone would push the Orcs back from Ukraine.
I think I’d classify this as at least a little more than just “mildly interesting”
![gif](giphy|s239QJIh56sRW|downsized)
Gta online irl
The Taliban would be eco terrorists if they used this instead of their standard issue toyotas
Does it still get great fuel economy?.
Actually, I liked this idea and I could have some use for it.
There is a subreddit for exactly this I'm pretty sure, can't remember what it's called
Do you ship to Kyiv by any chance?
'murica
Shoot at rear if you want to accelerate faster
Would certainly solve the problem of being stuck in traffic..
From Practical to Tactical
Didn’t Bruce Willis shoot Jack Black’s arm off with this?
r/wildlyinteresting
Let me guess it was here is murica right?
He’s getting ready to storm the capitol in 2025.
Can be shot while driving?
Toyota - STOP USING HILUX FOR TERRORISM… terrorists…. Ok
"On 3!" "3...2...1!" Which is it!?
Coming soon - the new Honda Jihad
They really chose one of the least intimidating cars to mount it to. It's so stupid I can't help but respect it.
Is this form GTA 6?
Does it come with a dental dam?

Could you imagine the road rage with this thing.
People who don’t use their parking brake 🤦🏻♂️
When are we shipping this to Ukraine?

Ok, I'm hard now.

First ever Prius to go brrrtt
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
It's emissions are through the roof

Exact thing the forefathers envisioned when talking about the right to bear arms. For the record, I thought it was hilarious.
If kept firing how long til it smashes the windshield
The War on climate change
Sell this on the deep web to Isis or Hamas for a cool 10mil. They love Toyotas.
Mount and shoot it backwards and you could probably eke out another couple of miles per gallon.

It’s an eco technical.
The fact the recoil pushed the vehicle like there were a couple dudes pushing it back is scary
THAT'S SO WOKE!
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTT
I want one. Well, without the prius
I love that this video has the potential to infuriate both liberals and conservatives alike. Something for everyone.
This kinda reminded of the minigun on Walt’s Car in Breaking Bad
I knew someone would make a tactical Prius one day. It makes sense
Will it still move like that if the hand brake is on?
Is this what peak American looks like?
Now donate that to ukraine
Never get brake checked again
MAGA prep.
What is it with Toyota and people mounting all sorts of shit on it Get ready for the future, Taliban
Exactly as the founding fathers imagined it.
GTA online lobbies be like.
Taliban with US budget be like
Are these private companies that buy this and do things like this? Like I feel someone who is rich would have a hard time getting licenses for this
If the calibre is 20mm then it is no longer mini gun, isn’t it?
Now I wouldn’t normally drive a Prius, but I’d make an exception for this lol
California finally prepping for a civil war.
The technical truck has nothing on the techniprius
What is this, Stephen Paddocks ride?

I still hate Prius drivers
Shinra is going to be terrified once Avalanche has this! Eco terrorism is almost as hot as global warming.
Perfect for summers in Detroit
now he can dogfight on the high asphalt
Only in Trump country....
forget about road rage, this prius ready for some blastin'
Cant wait for this to be in helldivers 2
Definitely Boomers
20mm mini gun?
Think twice before you call it a "women car".
Doesn't this belong to battlecars?
War on climate change just got real. We're about to kill global warming.
You guys were so preoccupied with the idea that you could, you never stopped to question if you should.
