When it comes to the U.S. armed forces, incredible developments by engineers such as the rail gun or laser weapons come to mind. In addition to high-tech weapons, though, there are also solutions that have been tested over the years. And today we will tell you about one of them.

The M61 Vulcan is a six-barreled Gatling gun that no human eye can keep up with, because the 20mm shells shoot out of its barrels at a velocity of 6,600 rounds per minute! In fact, simply knowing the pure power of the shells barreling down at an enemy can make anyone uneasy!
But how did this giant come to be and why did the U.S. choose it to be a part of its military equipment?
