In an already eventful offseason that saw him partake in motorcross at Gillette Stadium, shoot scenes for Shark Week in the Bahamas, charitable events with the team, oh and announce he’s returning for a ninth season in the NFL, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski’s latest offseason activity may be his most eye popping yet.

On Instagram Monday, Gronkowski shared some slow motion video of himself firing off some rounds from a minigun at an unknown gun range.

Gronkowski, who’s house was robbed while he was in Minneapolis for the Super Bowl, joked he was “taking some lessons on how to use my new home security.”

Another angle was shared by Barstool sports that showed off just how powerful the minigun was.

Also on the same day this video was released, the Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian reported that Gronk and his agent Drew Rosenhaus are continuing to work with the Patriots on “tweaking” his contract in “some fashion to assuage that situation.”

There never is a dull moment with Gronk.
