I'm getting bugged silly about making these NOW, so...
The patterns are available, and you really don't need a CNC. These are intentionally simple shapes, a $14 coping saw (or better, a $99 scroll saw) and a drill, maybe a rat-tail file, are all you really need.


This panel represents a chunk of 6mm ABS, 24" x 10.25"(these are the machine offsets).
Outside of the tubing parts, this is all the parts that need to be fabbed to make one of the little minis in the renders posted previously.
Parts List:
3" (i.d.)ABS Celcon tubing (yes, common black plastic pipe from the hardware store):
One ea., 9" long.
One ea., 13" long.
One ea., 6" long.

1/2" (i.d. again)PVC tubing:
Seven ea., 17.75" long.

A small handful of #6 x 1/2" sheetmetal screws, and the 18 components depicted above, along with a stripped Chi-Com M14, and you have a MINI-Minigun.

It's less than three feet long, assembled. The barrel pack is 3.5" in diameter.
A can of Rockstar is 6.25 inches high, and just over 2 and 5/8ths in diameter.
Here's a render of a CAD model, along with a few "actual size" Rockstar cans for comparison.
Shown with handles folded:


And deployed:




I set this up so a 24" "repair section" of 3" ABS from the hardware store could be cut right at 13", leaving the "scrap" 9" long. The 13" section becomes the main body tube, the 9" becomes the "drive motor" casing (this will also double as the ammo dump).
Then I just have to find a 6" section in the shop to become the "delinker".
This will actually hold the power pack, so a longer section may be used.


...at times, Rockstar Makes Killbucket!

This will also need a Bissel Vac Belt to drive the barrels, and an RC car motor.
An aluminum spacer from McMaster-Carr (.115" I.D. x 1" x3/16 O.D." rnd 4N100R18AP) will extend the motor's shaft.
