The X685 VORTEX

The X685 VORTEX
This is a huge, bulky, difficult-to-use Giant ferris-wheel-turned-gatling-gun.
it does, however, fire at a massive 2000 or more rpm. Yes, 25 bullets in under a second.

This instructable is made in 3 main parts: the wheel, the frame, and the barrels.

Be warned, as this gun requires a huge amount of pieces!

I know this comment is over 2 years old, but I just wanted to clarify something. Evolutions biggest flaw is, without a creator nothing would be anywhere, therfore how would an explosion result, and another flaw is planets would not be spheres if evolultion was true, and by the way you were NOT on earth 65 billion years ago it has been proven that our solar system is in the neighborhood of 6,000 years old NOT 65 billion or million or whatever

I'm not christian, I'm an evolutionist, but all this arguing is getting on my nerves tbh, we should just let people believe what they want.
Oct 19, 2008. 1:13 PMDer Bradly says:
what to argue about?
Oct 19, 2008. 2:24 PMDer Bradly says:
well actully that is true, but not all evidence disproves evolution, but just makes creatism seem more logical (it realy is logical)
Oct 19, 2008. 3:39 PMDer Bradly says:
do you have a problem with that?

Please, I REALLY don't want to start anything, but, you didn't see any little guys walking out of Hiroshima, did you?
Feb 7, 2009. 2:00 PMDrWeird117 says:
That's basically what evolution is; life forms stepping out of an explosion and shaking hands with the world.
Jun 20, 2009. 11:30 AMJesus. says:
think of the ball machine you could build in 4.5 billion years, wow
Jun 20, 2009. 12:08 PMDrWeird117 says:
LMAO

whats LMAO mean??
Jun 9, 2009. 5:18 PMDrWeird117 says:
I know, but still. Scientists should at least see beginnings of new cell structure. Right?
Feb 10, 2009. 5:37 PMbuilder968 says:
a nuclear bomb would just mutate or kill us, because even if we're out of the explosion range, there would still be fallout.
Feb 10, 2009. 10:11 PMDrWeird117 says:
Right. Just like the Ghouls in Fallout 3.
Jun 9, 2009. 5:17 PMDrWeird117 says:
Man, did ANYone notice that was a joke?
Feb 8, 2009. 10:17 AMDrWeird117 says:
I really don't know who to believe. I can't believe we just stepped out of an expansion of mass. I also can't believe everything was created in 6 days. Oh, man...this sucks.

the first actual humans were around 35,000 yrs ago.
