==Info==
Originally designed by General Electrics (GE) as the '''GECAL 50''', this gun was designated by the US military as the '''General Dynamics GAU-19'''. Though otherwise similar to the [[GE M134 Minigun]], the GAU-19/A is an electronically fired, three-barrelled Gatling Gun built to fire the .50 BMG round. The weapon can selectively fire 1,000-2,000RPM while the version mounted on the AM General HMMWV fires at a fixed rate of 1,300RPM.
