For a long time now, I have been a subscriber to the YouTube channel called Forgotten Weapons. There, the host Ian McCollum presents a wide variety of obscure and rare firearms.

In this video the protagonist is not a “forgotten” weapon, not even close since the M134 Minigun is the main or secondary armament in many vehicles currently used by the US armed forces and its signature sound is sweet as a lullaby when a lot of firepower is what the situation calls.
