The Tornado 480 Command V2

The Tornado 480 Command 002.jpg
Check my H.A.W.C Version 10.0 too!

This is my first ever: 16-shot, preload-every-shot, moderate range minigun!
It's one of my sweetest looking guns because it really looks like an actual minigun!
The only negative is that the reload system takes a very long time to well.. reload, duh!
The range is about 45 ft with good quality rubberbands that are double-folded.

Weight: 1.02 kg
Length: 71 cm

Pros:
-16 shots
-pretty strong
-two handles
-awesome looks
-16 shots per 5 seconds

Cons:
-the shooting top is a bit flimsy
-long reload time

You likey?
So go build it!
