John McTiernan hand-picked the M134 minigun (aka "Painless") that Blain (Ventura) uses. They had to slow the barrel down for the film because in reality it spins so fast that it doesn't photograph well. A person could really only manage to carry roughly six seconds worth of ammo. "It's ludicrous, what the f*ck would he carry a thing like that for? It's nonsense, but, it's a movie, so who knows." he stated. There's also a 100lb battery behind the person firing it.
