[edit] GShG-5.45?

Does a variant of this exist in the 5.45 Calibre? User:EX STAB, 03:18AM 2nd April 2007

[edit] Use

So why wasnt this weapon mounted on chopper doors, vehicles etc like the M134 minigun?, It has only been mounted on wings. User:EX STAB, 22:15PM, 30 March 2007

[edit] Minigun incorrect

I suggest renaming this article to exclude minigun and use machine gun instead. Minigun, is one of two things, its a cultural term for rotary barreled weapons (this issue is addressed in the Minigun article), or to GE's rifle caliber rotary barreled machine gun family specifically. Minigun is incorrect here, as I do not know of it existing, even in rough translation in the Russian. -- Thatguy96 01:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Why?, The GShG-7.62 IS a rotary barreled weapon and is the Warsaw Pact equivalent of the M134 and works the same way as a Minigun but has 4 barrels instead. Classing the GShG-7.62 as a Minigun would make it easier to describe and refer to that type of weapon

Apart from that, It uses the rounds as found in the Mosin Nagant Rifles.

Because of exactly what I just said. The term "minigun" has two meanings, one is an informal name for all rifle caliber rotary barreled machine guns, while the other is specific to GE's product line. The title of the article, in my mind, should not contain an informal name most commonly used by movies and videogames and not used by those who use or produce the piece of equipment to describe it. -- Thatguy96 13:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
