The M134 Minigun is an American 7.62×51mm NATO six-barrel rotary machine gun with a high rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute). [2] It features a Gatling-style rotating barrel assembly with an external power source, normally an electric motor.

Starting in 1994, the M167 was replaced in U.S. service by the M1097 Avenger missile launcher and in 2005, by a ground-based version of the Phalanx CIWS self-defense gun [9] which the U.S. Navy uses on its ships. The Phalanx CIWS uses the same basic 20 mm rapid-fire Gatling gun as the M167.

It holds 353 rounds of ammunition, enough for approximately nine seconds of continuous fire.

This makes the "trigger crank" avoid classification as a machine gun for purposes of gun law in the United States, as stated in an IRS revenue ruling [1] and various other private-letter rulings by ATF.
