This weapon is completely unrealistic, because no man could hold and fire it while standing, the recoil would knock the person down.--JprimeX 23:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

And that's why its not in GTA IV.--TheMeta 14:02, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I would've liked another heavy weapon other than just the rocket launcher.--JprimeX 13:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

The Minigun is based on a real weapon. while the weapon is rather heavy and takes a lot of strength to hold the recoil is heavily suppressed with a gas powered recoil suppression system so it would be possible to use a weapon like this it is not practical to be carrying this in your inventory all day without it slowing you down. The real life counterparts of this weapon has seen a lot of action in areas where Platoons of troops need to make slow movement through covered areas these guns were wielder by highly specialized troops and usually only one could be found in any platoon they were often in place of MG nests as mounted machine guns of similar RoF and caliber would take too long to set up and take down if the troops were not planing on staying in one place for more than an hour or so.
