It looks like he's hand cranking the firing mechanism lmao
ali_stronk_guy@reddit
He's not lol, he's steering it to the left.
I don't know how they fire these i want someone to actually tell me, like shouldn't it be attached to some sort of trigger?

20mm Gatling gun

When you absolutely, positively must hit everything and nothing all at once.
Givemeajackson@reddit
So i guess they don't need an engine then?

In case some wonders , they got it from battles with Saudi and Jordan armies
rly_weird_guy@reddit
Probably from Yemeni government M163 VADS

That looks more like it came off a towed M167 VADS. Same weapon, just different setup to accommodate the ammo bin.
PG908@reddit
I still like how the M163 is just the gun stuck on an M113

More likely to be UAE, not Jordan. As far as im aware, Jordan never committed ground forces.

The whole Houthi movement sometimes feels like they’ve sprung from the keyboard of one of NCD’s top minds.

Is it time for the 3000 black technicals of Abdul-Malik al-Houthi?

I have serious questions about the effectiveness of this over a regular 20mm auto cannon.
Diligent-Regret7650@reddit
Yes, but more dakka is always better.

It’s meant to throw the most amount of rounds out in the shortest time possible to maximize the chances of a hit against aircraft. For ground use, it’s excessive.

Its not about need. Its about want.
LefsaMadMuppet@reddit
Same rounds, heavier gun, lower felt recoil, gyroscopic effects for rotating barrels greater stability, higher rate of fire.

The Toyota hikux is the third worlds m113
Fishgedon@reddit

Sorry not a car guy
Cygnusblossom@reddit
