The facts are still that the mini gun fires 3000 rounds per minute and 8 .303's 9600 rounds per minute. How is this misinformation or even hard to understand? Ok, but I'm done on this subject.

Well done, you've made your point, ignored everyone elses, and reality, then decided to go. waste of time. The Brownings do have a theoretical RPM of 9600, but they only have 16 seconds worth of fire so they can''t actually fire 9600 rounds at anything.
They fire roughly 2 kg of ammo per second, that's 32kg in total, against an aircraft that weighs around 9000 kg.
