why can’t we make an artillery minigun?

So the concept started with the Gatling gun, the first rotating multi-barrel machine gun, and then was scaled up into the modern minigun. That was then scaled up to the 20mm Vulcan and 30mm Avenger autocannons.

Why can’t we scale it up even further with a multi-barrel rotating artillery cannon? One that shoots 3000 artillery rounds per minute and sends massive barrages of artillery?

He much does an M240 weigh, and how much does an M134 weigh?

Apply that to artillery and then reflect on the fact that artillery is deployed in places where there are little to no roads.

On top of that, you don’t need 3000 rounds of artillery to get the job done, Ukrainians have showed that much.
