Apparently someone does think that putting a MiniGun on a Suburban might be a good idea. I'd guess we're talking about private security firms, but there have been times in rush hour that it would seem like a good idea (obviously joking).
DillionAero appears to be a company entirely focused on bringing miniguns out into the world. And here I thought that we had to rely on a former Minnesotan governor to show the true value a minigun can offer your discerning forest hiker. Check out their videos section.

Spray and pray
There has been quite a push lately in the non lethal weapons realm. Kimber in particular has been pushing the LifeAct "pepper" spray device in a variety of gun magazines. Advertised at ~$30 it is on par with most pepper spray products, while having a smaller size.
Initially I was interested in that I know that Kimber produces quality products and like most I'd prefer my wife carry "something" as opposed to "nothing" sometimes. For some reason, I had thought this thing would shoot out a jet like a micro water gun, but that's far from correct.
As you can see from the video, it's much more like a compressed jet of liquid flying out of this device instead of a weaker stream. Kimber lists the range as 2 to 13 feet which seems reasonable given the size and cost of the device.
On the other hand, I've seen a couple of advertisements for the Avurt IM-5 launcher lately.
It's a much more expensive option (at $300 US) but also works quite differently from the Kimber device. As explained in the video below, it fires (with sound!) a pepper spray "paint ball" that explodes on contact. From the video below, it would certainly seem like it has more stopping power than the Kimber device. Of course, it's quite a bit bigger and with 10 times the cost, you'd hope it'd be a "better" device.

Let me know if you have any experience with these products.
