Ok, this is what I dont understand Why put in a mini-gun if the only way its used is in small bursts? You have a gun with an insanely high ROF, and yet, everyone is shooting the gun in bursts. This destroys the very purpose of the gun. You already have the m16, ak47, and Tavor for shooting accurately in bursts Why make the mini-gun counterproductive? The whole purpose of using the mini-gun is to shoot large amounts of lead at the approaching hoards of zombies. Its not supposed to be accurate, thats the whole idea. It gives up its accuracy for the sake of throwing out more lead then any thing else in game. The problem is that right now, the gun is just a little too weak and accurate, so people compensate by firing it in small bursts, with mixed results.

So what should be done?
Up the damage done by the mini-gun - The thing needs more power, so you can hold down the button kill a zombie in less then a minute. So then you might be thinking, But if we up the damage, then itd be the ultimate weapon Well, to balance it out, believe it or not, youd want to skew the accuracy even more then it already is. This way, you have a lot of high powered bullets flying in the direction you want them to go, but not landing exactly where you wish they did. Youll eventually either get lucky, and a bullet will pass through their head, or youll eventually rip them apart in the hail of bullets and leave nothing of a threat behind.

As the mini-gun stands right now, you essentially have just accidentally caused another copy cat gun. Everyone uses the mini-gun as they would the m16, ak47, or any other automatic Short bursts, aiming for the head. Essentially the only difference right now between the mini-gun and other automatics is that it has a larger clip, which you cant even reload.

That was precisely what I meant! With a gun not meant to be carried at all still placed in the game, it should be fun. A real minugun is unable to fire less than 20 shots, since it goes 16 rounds a second

so the recoil should if realistic always stay at max, since it is *hard* to hold 20 kgs straight

Why, if everything else has non-realistic recoil, should the minigun then?
