The M134 Minigun is a highly operated firearm that utilizes electrical motor power to drive its action. It operates on the Gatling principle by employing a rotary cluster of six barrels, each equipped with its own bolt group. Bolts are moved back and forth behind each barrel as their operating roller passes an internal curved track machined inside the receiver cover. Typically, the topmost barrel in the cluster has its bolt fully open, while the bottom barrel is locked and firing pin released to fire the loaded cartridge. Barrel locking is achieved through the rotary bolt head. Because it operates on external power, the gun is immune to misfired rounds, which are ejected during normal operation. Feed is provided either by linkless chute or linked ammunition; in the latter case, a powered feeder/delinker module is installed on the gun and receives necessary power through the gear from the gun motor. To operate properly, the gun is fitted with an electronics control box that features a 'master arm' switch and fire controls (triggers) for manual control installations.
