Guess who designed the first minigun?

[Rigel]

General Electric. They made the goddamned M61 Vulcan. The first loving electric company made one of the most well-known and feared conventional weapons to be used in the battlefield. I saw this during the Blockland Synchtube and I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's just absurd how GENERAL ELECTRIC (starting to sound more like General Elektrk now) made the loving minigun.

Are there any other unlikely developers of well-known weapons?

I'm pretty sure the first modern flamethrowers in WW1 were designed by a German scientist who was also, ironically, a firefighter.

Also, a lot of the early flammenwerfer units were made up of firefighters.

Cadillac made tank engines during ww2, they may have made the entire tank but i'm not sure. Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and other german automakers entered a design contest during ww2 that I believe resulted in the tiger or some other main battle tank.

I can't believe a company that builds nuclear bombs is only the 18th biggest arms manufacturer in the United States.
