Secret Service Weapons
The Dillon M134D Gatling Gun is the finest small caliber, defense suppression weapon available. It is a six barreled, electrically driven machine gun chambered in 7.62mm NATO and fires at a fixed rate of 3,000 shots per minute. Gatling Guns typically feed from a 3,000 or 4,400 round magazine. They are capable of long periods of continuous fire without threat or damage to the weapon making them an excellent choice for defensive suppression.
The M134D has system life in excess of one million rounds and an average time between stoppage of 30,000 rounds. The multi barrel design means that each barrel only experiences a 500 round per minute rate of fire. This allows for repeated long bursts of fire and a barrel group life of 100,000 rounds.
Dillon Gatling Guns are in service with the US and Allied Armed Forces. The standard application is as helicopter crew served and fixed forward fire installations. In addition to their more traditional roles, Dillon Gatlings are supplanting M2 50 cal. Heavy Machine Guns and M240′s on a number of the US Army’s vehicles. Dillon M134s are also in service with the US and British navies in the fleet protection role and Special Operations fire support role.
Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are working on legislation to Seek A New Assault Weapons Ban. If you consider this President Obama, will it include your Secret Service? huh what’s that? WILL YOUR SECRET SERVICE PUT DOWN THEIR WEAPONS TOO! To all of the anti-gun enthusiast, lets take a look at Obama’s Assault Weapons.
Is this what Obama and Holder want? I would not be surprised if this administration try a armored guard, after all look at the positives here, recycled metal, PETA will be proud of the horse training, the reduction of CO2 emissions, Ted Kennedy will be happy to put a suit on since he’s a Knight now, and maybe a picture of the new security will be given to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown next time he visits.
