Took another look at COTS miniguns. Options:
- Echo1 M134 airsoft: perfect…except it costs $3,800
- Lego M134. Pretty awesome ammo feed but doesn't actually shoot anything. Price unknown
- Import plastic toys: a few on eBay. Barrel doesn't spin and it sounds like velocity might not be that good either
