Yes, ... I don't know which is more Sci-fi - the alien Predator ... Or Jesses's man-packed mini-gun ! :laugh:  Not only to mention the recoil problem ... how do you carry all the ammo !? ???

It's not like he's human.... He's Jesse Ventura!!  That explains it perfectly.

Ex-Navy Seal ... Ex -Pro Wrestler ... yup ... he's a super hero !  I remember reading in an Army magazine. Back when I was on active duty, that the Army, at the movie company's request,   sent an NCO to spend a week or two with the actors. To train them how to be soldiers.  Don't know how Jesse took to that ! :laugh:

there is actually a man carried 5,56 version mini-gun but on man fire on man carry ammo (or is on his knees do to weight) but it is only a prototype and man you need to be a superman handle the recoil

Do you mean there's a prototype for someone to be able to fire it while holding it? There's a big difference between man-portable and actually being able to fire without the normal tripod.

Yes, they were taking about mounting one on a tripod like the .50 cal. But I think recoil was still a consideration plus the ammo ...

i men hand held and that is a mad notion and yes it has also been talking about a tripod

i personally prefer the mad idea of the so called riot-gun its a mini-gun firing 12 gage shotgun type shells

Yes, it is an off size round ... But it appears worth it ! :;):

I'm actually just in the process of purchasing a FN Five-Seven for use in IPSC... the pistol that uses the same 5.7mm round as the P90.

I have to say I really like the round. I'm a skinny guy so the reduced recoil makes a major difference in terms of the amount of rounds I can get on target in a given amount of time as compared to a 9mm or a .45.

Now if only P90s were legal in Canada...  :laugh:

Well I'll see if I can get you one from Gen. O'Neal or Col. Carter next time I see them. I might have to trade it for "favors" with Carter, but anything for a friend, "H" ! :devil:
