A 30mm...are you sure that's big enough?" "Eh, if we need something bigger we'll just order it from the catalogue."

Why is it called a "mini" gun? Shouldn't it be called a "many" gun? Because it shoots "many" bullets.

It's called a minigun because it's a miniaturized version of the 20mm Vulcan cannon, although I do agree it should be called a manygun.
