This is What Really Happens When You Shoot a Dodge with a Gatling-Style Machine Gun

Regardless of your feelings about guns, you have to admit that, when used for purely recreational and non-life (of any form) threatening purposes in a safe and controlled environment, they can be an impressive sight to behold.

Richard Ryan from RatedRR has a knack for firearms and in his latest webisode on YouTube, he tried to recreate a similar scene from the 2013 war film "Lone Survivor" written and directed by Peter Berg and starring Mark Wahlberg, in real life.

His team used a helicopter fitted with a Dillon Minigun M134 with Gatling-style rotating barrels that's capable of shooting a whopping three thousand rounds per minute. The target? A 1990s Dodge Neon sedan.

See what happened in the video that follows.

Why, oh, Why? First Generation Dodge Viper Pounded and Crushed

We’ve seen cars crushed because they were illegally imported to the United States. While I totally disagree with this practice, let’s just say there is some logic behind this, as some cars are deemed unsafe for U.S. consumers.

But how does one explain why a perfectly good car has to get crushed? If you love cars, and since you’re on this website that’s pretty obvious, watching the video posted below will be really painful.

It shows how a first-generation Dodge Viper is destroyed, much to the amusement of the audience. We don’t know why the Viper had to be rumbled down, but it may not be the only one to get this treatment since this is what the uploader wrote in the description: “We had to destroy this Dodge Viper. 4 more to go.”

If you know something about this or have any explanation about why this had to happen, make sure you share it with us in the commentary section.
