The original M134, made by General Electric, had two rates of fire - 3,000 rounds per minute, or 6,000 rounds per minute. Some variants fire at a fixed rate, which may be 3,000 or 4,000 rounds per minute, depending on that exact variant.For movies such as Predator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the miniguns used in those films had to be modified to fire at around 1/3 of their normal rate of fire, because - even with blanks - the recoil force if fired at the normal rate of fire would've knocked the actors down as they used them.
