Hua Qing Minigun

History

The Huaqing revolver is a Gatling-style weapon designed, developed and manufactured in China for its armed forces. The weapon system consists of six barrels that rotate along a fixed axis to generate a large amount of firepower.

This weapon can be used for airspace blockade, as well as helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, warships and attack ships. The weapon is powered by an external power source and has a rotating breech for 7.62x54mmR cartridges. Feed by tape and screen by iron device.

This ferocious weapon was made by Huaqing Machinery Manufacturing Company. It is similar in form and function to the American M134 Minigun and GAU-19 systems (detailed elsewhere on this website).
