- - - - 1912: the British created the Vickers to combat the problem of the Americans, making it faster, lighter, and more efficient overall. Instead of one maned gun, this took six people to work just one of these, they also used a special round (.303) to pack more punch behind their shots since this gun was much faster than others it would heat up the gun quite fast, so they made a water cooling system so it wouldn't explode.

        1990: the Americans made a far more improved version of their eclectic minigun to rule the skies. The name of this is the Vulcan cannon, this gun being larger than a car, being put inside a plane using 30x173 practically killing anyone in its path.
        
        2014: the birth of the classic minigun we all know and love so much. Mainly used on cars and planes as a transportation unit, to dominate small battlefields and wipe out lots of men in the blink of an eye
