They offer Gatling type gun to POLICE. Is that how the next demonstration is going to be suppressed ? With suppressing fire ?

KevininHouston    Why do Chinese Police need Mini-guns?   6/1/2012 1:54:53 PM
It is very interesting to note that the Chinese police force (not Internal Security forces?) might need mini-guns for crowd control(?!). Given that the PRC is ruled by an undemocratic self-perpetuating kleptocratic ideologically bankrupt Communist Party, which represses the people, it may be a dangerous foreshadowing of serious civil unrest to come. Though perhaps the Chinese firm (possibly Government owned?) is forcing police departments to purchase these weapons to feather their pockets. Time will tell and the words of an old Chinese proverb/curse come to mind: "May you live in interesting times."

China clearly isn't communist anymore, not that real communism ever existed in actual practice.
 
But police forces with mini-guns?  There will be no 'Chinese Spring' - and the local precinct will be able to clear Tianamen Square  with a few squirts from these fire-hoses...

The word is that US Secret Service has miniguns in their suburbans.

So if the chicoms want to use minguns for VIP protection, maybe it's not so weird.

Suppressing fire?
 
Then they cook the body parts...that's how Mao fed the Red Army during the Long March...
That's how his Red Guard Youths disposed of the "Bougeois Elements"
That's how the bodies where disposed of after Tiananmen Square massacre...

By "suppressing fire" I didn't mean extinguishing. I meant in a military sense, like when you fire at enemy positions so they must keep their heads down, or when you want to stop enemy charge. It is often accomplished by machine gun fire. Gatling gun can also do.....
