Dear All
I am building a M134 Minigun from Legend and I would like to connect with a rubber hose the minigun to a chemical drum from Mig, in order to represent the recuperation of the used shells.
Do you think that is realistic ? At least the concept of putting all the brass to the drum or an other container ??
Cheers to all
Seb

It could be done. Usually the brass chute just funnels the spent casing over the side of the aircraft or vehicle though.

I did/do it with some coiled tubing from an old large scale (1/9 maybe?) StarWars Speeder Bike kit. I have also used the coiled air cleaner tubing from an early Tiger I kit. You can also use the coiled part from a bendy drinking straw. You may have to glue a couple of the bendy straw parts together to get the length you need though.
Comes out like this:
Good luck.
