Information
The "Death Machine" minigun is a 7.62 mm, multi-barrel machine gun with a very high rate of fire (2,000 up to 6,000 rounds per minute) without overheating. In the 1960s, the US military began exploring modern variants of the electric-powered, rotating barrel Gatling gun-style weapons for use in the Vietnam War. Treyarch has let know they were experimenting with a portable version of the sentry gun, which is high likely resulted in the Death Machine.
