15. Mini-guns? Jesus Christ!!!
A mini-gun can fire at a cyclical rate of up to 60 rounds PER SECOND (as compared to the ~10-12 rd per sec. of the M-16). A one-minute burst can literally put thousands of rounds in the air. You could kill and wound hundreds with a single 5-sec. burst.

"especially helpful during peacekeeping deployments" my ass!! Here's an idea: how bout we deploy a nuclear warhead before Bush lands, just to be safe? Sure, he'd have to wear that bulky suit for protection, but you can never be too safe when the life of Emperor Bush is concerned, right?
