Alpo Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Comic strip. Panels 5 6 and 7. They put bayonets on the minigun. Why? Why not. As you can see in panel 5 the good guy has stabbed the bad guy, and he's stabbed him so good that the bayonets are sticking out the other side. The bayonets are actually Bowie knives. From the picture showing how the knives are situated, these bayonets would only be useful (useful - hah!) if the minigun were to rotate clockwise, looking at the muzzle. Thus my question. Looking at one muzzle-on, do they rotate clockwise or counterclockwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that they can be fed from either side and the side that they are fed from determines which way the barrels rotate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Joker Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 In this comic they rotate clockwise. What that has to do with reality I am not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Counterclockwise. We removed one from a downed Loach and mounted it on a jeep. Worked well for firebase defense. Very well! I assume you meant from the point of view of the shooter. It’s clockwise from the point of view of the shootee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 From the shooter perspective CCW. From the guy on the business end CW. Ian shows the internal workings at the 5:30 mark. By design it only rotates one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Now that my question has been answered, for those that would like to know - a little more about the minigun with the bayonets. This is an organization of superheroes. The golden woman with a purple hair has powers that would make Superman look like Pee-wee Herman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
