Not to mention that the 850-lb recoil thrust would stop that Maul cold in a
few seconds. Can you say "Stall Warning!"?

I'd recommend the XM214 for a Maul. It generates around 250 lb.
recoil at top speed (10,000 rounds/min), but can be quite managable at
lower firing rates. 1,000 rounds/min is only 25 lb. of recoil. The
whole package, including ammo, weighs about 90 lbs.

Can you say "Very interesting 337"?

Only 90 pounds? I WANT ONE!!!!!

Pull the rear doors off, mount it sideways in the back, and call me Spooky!

Think that's cool? Check this out : http://www.saracen.org/

They build these locally. It's pretty amazing to see in action. The
minigun is stowed in the back. When trouble strikes, the sunroof
opens and the minigun is deployed via a scissor-type mount. Just the
thing to get you through that morning rush hour traffic.

The last test I saw, that minigun destroyed 3 cars in about 10 seconds
