Best I can tell those are 3 or 4 M134’s which run about $250k apiece, chambered in .308.

You're correct, and there are four of them. Each can fire 6k rounds per minute (multiply by 4 for weapons count and you get the 24k rounds per minute). So figure that they fire 100 rounds per second. . . What's the current price of 7.62mm ammunition? That'd put me in the poor house mighty fast!
