Yeah, but they needed 45 seconds worth of minigun. He did it in about 7 seconds with semi-automatic pistol.

After working on a jeep-mounted mini-gun in the Southeast Asia War Games a few decades ago, I've come to think that the main effect of such a mini-gun is mainly psychological on the near-by observers. It's harder than it looks to hit a target when you're parked, much less when mobile! :anamatedbanana
