I found this interesting early repeating ship gun called the Puckle gun from the 17th century. This video is seen in the first link below and a modern day gatling gun in the 2nd link .

So...you really can't shoot a minigun while holding it free hand? Who would have thunk Hollywood would lie!
P.S. Gotta fix the 2nd link...it routes you back to the Puckle video
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

The Puckle was also intended as a fortress point defence weapon-like most pre mid 19th century weapons, the main problem with the mechanism was that it worked when new but wear and tear soon meant that all chambers could go off at once or not at all!
