At the center of the M134 is the Rotor. When the weapon is triggered the main drive motor turns the drive gear on the front of the rotor. This in turn drives the six gun bolts through the firing sequence. The bolts follow the cam path around the weapon housing while moving linearly along the rotor bolt track. From chambering and firing, to extraction and ejection each revolution of the rotor results in six rounds being fired.
Dillon Guns Are Good For Life
Dillon Aero's new, light weight, long life Titanium Rotors are designed to remain as good as new for years to come. With money to buy new guns hard to come by it is always preferable to keep current weapons running. With this in mind, Dillon's Titanium M134D-T use's the new generation light weight rotor.
The rotor is the gun. That is, it is the part of the weapon that must be approved by congress to be purchased. Therefore, it is the service life of the rotor that determines the total life of the gun. Everything else is just parts.
In addition to greatly reduced weight, this new rotor features replaceable locking lugs.
The locking lug is the main wear item on the rotor and the rotor is what is actually considered the weapon. By making the lugs replaceable, the life of the rotor is extended into the millions of rounds. In essence the weapon never wears out.
