The Minigun is a pop culture cannon of carnage, appearing in hundreds of games and movies. Whether it’s mounted to helicopters in Battlefield, in the arms of Grand Theft Auto V’s bank robbers or churning up the jungle in Predator, developers and filmmakers love to harness the Minigun’s power, but how exactly does it work? (Presented by PUBG MOBILE)

In this episode of Loadout, Dave Jewitt visits the Royal Armouries to talk to Keeper of Firearms & Artillery Jonathan Ferguson to discover the surprising origins of the M134 Minigun, and see why it’s one of the least well-represented guns in pop culture history.
