Indo Defence 2018: Profense sets the pace with M134
Profense’s M134 Gatling Gun has been operational in Indonesia since 2014, a purchase the company believes is down to the weapon's key features, such as the Aeroclamp, that enhance the weapon’s capability.
The company hopes that this baseline will equate to more sales in the near future.
All branch services within Indonesia operate the M134, assisted by the capacity to utilise indigenous ammunition. The weapon is operated across all domains: on boats, land vehicles and aircraft - although is primarily operated from the Bell 412 and predominantly for special operation missions.
In other instances of usage, the M134 fires the standard 7.62x51mm
