This minigun has been xml-modded to reflect real-world values for this iconic weapon, famously used as the hard-hitting centerpiece of the design of the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Fire-rate, caliber, bullet mass, muzzle velocity, burst count, even the size of the weapon. All based on real research. I invite any and all to BRRRT in style with this meaty gun. Use it for free. No credit to me needed.

    @FarrowAirlines Not completely. Most don't have a good day after being hit with 30x173mm of depleted uranium though.

    @JackAlpha26 It's such a beast. I put three of them on my Earthsalter.

    @JackAlpha26 Yeah. It's all in the XML. I used the mass of the 30mm DUP round for this thing. It doesn't really matter too much though since there is no drop from gravity and plane parts are destroyed from one hit regardless.
