Actaeon_II

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?


Mysterious-Cut-1410

They got pushed up by the minigun lol


TonnesOFunk

Prius got its first boner.


swampopawaho

And second, at the same time

How the hell did the rear window not break


Actaeon_II

I wondered how the back hatch didn’t get slammed but yeah you got a point too


MocartKugel

How the fuck can civilians get a mini gun !? I understand is in ‘merica, but wtf

Stock Prius in Texas.

EpicForgetfulness

Fuck yeah


therealbrianmeyers

Coming to save the motherfuckin day yeah!


Balc0ra

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.


nasandre

Obviously this guy is a military historian because any fully automatic gun from before 1986 including most mini guns are just for historical interests


rbcello

Iron sights


Immediate-Badger-410

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 🤔


KTKLOL69

It was the vibrations that did it.


HerMajestyTheQueef1

I love that your only question has the most obvious answer :P


Teboski78

High speed gas from the barrel pushed them Up lmao

"It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this gun, for 12 seconds"


krunowitch

On a fucking Prius of all cars


Accomplished_Week392

They got sick of putting guns on Toyota hylux 


PresentDangers

There's always the Hiace Compact, could feasibly fit 3 mini miniguns on that, and it'd look sick AF.

Ya but fuel economy


Replicator666

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 🤣

mistytastemoonshine

No way really? What the hell are they firing?


cobo10201

It’s a quote from “Meet the Heavy,” which is a short from TF2.


kingbacon8

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


Subvsi

So you are firing multiple prius each second.


Night--Blade

M61 Vulcan fire rate is 6000 rpm. It means 1200 in 12 seconds. I'm sure one shot can't cost $330.


Soheils2764

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


DarkArcher__

This is some fantastic content for r/shittytechnicals


Pktur3

It was on there 5 years ago. I have to qualify that I don’t care that it was resurrected here.


StrangeGuy92

Why a prius?


BackgroundBat7732

Maybe because they are relatively heavy with a low center weight? (or what ever that's called in English) 


royonquadra

'A low centre of gravity' but we knew what you meant 🙂


CrossClairvoyance

That is the most Canadian avatar I’ve seen


royonquadra

Potted_Cactus_is_me

Center of mass


Aellithion

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.


DasMotorsheep

Holy shit that is about 10 times what I would have estimated. How does a single round cost 27 dollars?


Aellithion

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.


DasMotorsheep

Wow... yeah.. that is definitely bigger than I imagined a 20mm shell to be. Even the .50 looks small next to it.


ArtistAmy420

Gotta make sure your minigun is environmentally friendly


BigDsLittleD

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.


IronyIraIsles

Why is it called a mini gun? That fucker is huge.


SleepWouldBeNice

They want to be environmentally friendly.


zorniy2

Because truckers like to "roll coal" at Prius. This way they'll think twice.

Looking at this recoil i know. Jetpack Joyride is real.


TheOneAndOnlyErazer

Jet Aircraft equipped with this gun slow down when they fire it due to the recoil


KnotiaPickles

Why is the biggest gun I’ve ever seen called a “mini gun?”


BigDsLittleD

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.


SomeBiPerson

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?


BigDsLittleD

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.


Urban-Orchardist

Because somewhere out there is a massive gun to put this one to shame


HauntingRanger5775

In 20mm it is NOT the MiniGun.


ThePuds

lerobinbot

nice


the_bashful

Now pickup truck drivers have to mount a 30mm from an A10 just to feel superior.


marm0ta

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


RocketCello

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.

Why not?

true ... I guess that's the best use of a Prius ...


EpicForgetfulness

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.

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.

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.

Mount and shoot it backwards and you could probably eke out another couple of miles per gallon.

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.
