Development

The KRR Minigun preferably may be set to fire only single shots or short bursts. Other objects which may be achieved in preferred embodiments of the invention are to provide such a gun with an easily variable rate of fire in which the barrels have a long life and so retain their accuracy, and which can be easily maintained for servicing in the field.
