Introducing the XM556 microgun

What can I say. I've need drooling all morning looking at something that I'd never get to shoot or even fondle. But hey. What's the internet for if not to make us dream.

Introducing the XM556 microgun.

Quote:
The XM556 Microgun was designed and engineered around the 5.56mm NATO cartridge. This defensive suppression weapon is significantly smaller and lighter than it's big brother the M134. It was meant to stand in place of anywhere high suppressive fire wanted without the weight or footprint of the larger M134 electrically driven Gatling gun system. The current XM556 Microgun is smaller and lighter than some current 5.56mm beltfed Squad Automatic Weapons currently on the market, with 4x's the firepower.

The XM556 is a new platform system that was designed from scratch by the ground up. The parts are not just a smaller imitation of the larger M134, but were designed on its own. An absolutely all new style of bolt was conceived and designed to eliminate current known issues with the M134. The bolts combined with many other improvements have been made to not only extend the life of the gun but reduce wear and reduce or eliminate stoppages.

The gun is sold as a complete weapon system. Some mounts and accessories designed for the M134 will work with the XM556 Microgun to make adoption easier.

That is neat. What if it was not electrically driven? Non restricted?

Ok that looks like it could contain a ton of fun in a small package. When does it arrive in Canada?

Need to hook a few of those up to some motion sensing security cameras for my post-apocalyptic hideout.

If you put the full specification of this firearm against the Canadian Firearm Law, it is just hilarious.

without the electrical motor it will be a belt fed revolver and it will be classified as "Converted Auto" which still be prohibited

5 round belt LOL, one round short of number of barrels

Then you can sell it in the EE for almost new.

Hmmm. Rimfire, so deals with mag limits... but what about FA...

Ooooh! How about you register each barrel as a separate firearm, but controlled by the same trigger. So one trigger pulle fires six shots, but each firearm is still only firing one shot with the pull of a trigger. So you've just got to pull the trigger fast enough to beat the first barrel before it comes back again, to get the full auto effect...
