The minigun in use by CJ at Las Venturas airport

One of the most powerful weapons in the GTA series, the minigun is based off various US minigun models. The GTA SA and GTA VC renditions are based off a man portable version of the M167 Vulcan, while the GTA Liberty City Stories version is based off the M197 tri-barreled minigun. It has an insane rate of fire and can annihilate most vehicles in almost less than a second around a certain radius. In Vice City, the minigun was perfect for mowing down targets level with the player, however, it could not be aimed manually. Instead, it shoots upwards automatically to e.g. helicopters, similar to the Rhino. In San Andreas, thanks to the new aiming system, the minigun could be pointed in any direction, making shooting higher targets much easier. It is almost 100% accurate as there is no recoil, but it can't lock on to a target.

Locations in San Andreas

On top of the southern arc of the Kincaid Bridge.
Inside Mike Toreno's ranch after completing all his missions (along with the flamethrower and rocket launchers)
On the bottom-most level of an underground parking garage in northeast Las Venturas
On top of some scaffolding in the building site in South Las Venturas (jetpack needed, unless you're skilled at jumping and climbing)
Inside the restricted Area 69 labs in a control room. If you enter the restricted area into the underground (you get a 5 star wanted level) you can explore until you find it. In the Black Project mission you get to go there without attaining a wanted level but unfortunately there will be high security, search lights and military personnel with M4 carbines & 9mm pistols.
