Yeah, the miniguns big advantage over a machine gun is it's 3,000 rpm fire rate, 50rds a second that is a 15lb, 250rd belt every 5 seconds, 90lbs of ammunition a minute. Easy to see why these things are vehicle mounted.

only a GOD DAMN SEXUAL TYRANASAURUS can carry it
Fun fact, the Predator Minigun was modified to fire at 600rpm which is at par with or slower than most modern machine guns... also it's hip fire setup just destroys accuracy.
this was actually done so the audience could see the barrels rotating, otherwise it would blur into a solid grey circle
it was fired closer to its full speed for terminator 2, and it was actually the exact same gun as in predator, and even when loaded with blanks the recoil was so intense that they had to brace him to keep him from falling over
even if you were strong enough to lift the gun, battery, and ammo by yourself
you would probably be flung backwards from the recoil
M134? No. Recoil is too massive for it to be effective. Now, something like the XM556? Maybe. You'd have to put enormous muzzle brakes on it since even top-tier athletes have trouble keeping it on target, which would spray you with hot gasses and extreme concussion. That's not even mentioning the obscene amount of ammo you need to actually keep it in the fight.
You'd be better off using a smaller version as a crew-served weapon. Maybe scale it down to a middle-ground cartridge between 5.7x28 and 5.56x45. You won't be ripping through cover with it, but it would have good enough range to accomplish the task of "a lot of bullets that way".
no
the gun isn't the problem, the batteries needed to power it and the massive ammo box you need to lug around are

the predator would never survive american ingenuity which is the ability to steal from Nazi tech
Whut?
Are you in the wrong thrnsx40ead?
You have to be 18 years of age to post here
>also it's hip fire setup just destroys accuracy.
it's more of an accuracy-through-volume design
Absolutely no problem, just wait until the Goblinization happens

I wonder how effective a hail of 22LR would be burped out at 3000 rpm
.22lr is somewhat capable of killing at like 200 yards, but God help you with the trajectory and travel time.
you'll need a little help...
