The wind sounds in the opening sequence began through the crack of an open door and were completed in the main mix room at Skywalker Sound by Gary Rydstrom using a Synclavier keyboard.

The blank ammunition for the minigun was powerful enough to create the flash but with only a fraction of the power found in a genuine cartridge. As demonstrated on MythBusters (2003), the recoil of a minigun is so strong that no human being could operate it as shown in the film. The robot constructed for the original film weighed 200 pounds. At even twice that weight, a terminator would have difficulty dealing with the recoil. The NATO standard 7.62 round produces approximately 8.6 foot/pounds of recoil. Firing at 6,000 rounds a second, that is a combined 8,600 foot/pounds of recoil a second.
