We all have seen the movie Dark Knight; I am inspired mainly by superhero movies to make gadgets and the weapons shown in the movies or cartoons.

If you have the right knowledge, you surely can do anything.

Let's dig into the details of the rig used to fire a minigun in the movie.

A Mini Gun Rail

As you can see, we have two mini guns supported on a rail moving horizontally.

So we will be needing a minigun, and unfortunately, you can't get those, so we will design the rail, not manufacture it.

Next up is to design a rail that efficiently moves the minigun on top of it.
