I decided to try out the Minigun at ash. I hope all of you know the flag base and the balcony place. So I tested how many shots it takes to kill a guy.... And the result?* More than 40 bullets.* I was actually surprised about it..... Is it my crappy computer that's making the Minigun horrible? Or is it just the damned weapon?

Just for fun edit *IT'S OVER 9000!!!*

Minigun is great if you're defending a chokepoint like on Kampf down the middle alleyway, you can just lie down and spam two miniguns. Minigun push is gigantic, way more than that of a spas. The enemies are forced to go a different lane, in this case, up, and the rest of your team can easily focus their efforts there to dominate.

Also minigun BTK (Bullets to kill) is 11 bullets, you prolly had bad bullet reg.

It depends if you near or far from the person to see the damage if far you will get less damage but near you will get him about 20 bullets my guess

True, but the problem is:

1. Minigun's bullet speed is pretty high, it shouldn't lose so much damage over a long distance.
2. The Minigun's bullets tend to be inaccurate, shooting in a slightly up-and-down pattern even without self-bink.
3. The registration for Minigun bullets is particularly bad. Don't forget the lag and ping.
4. Considering how fast the minigun fires, you're gonna spend quite a lot more than what is needed since it takes time for you to realize and react to the fact that your opponent is eliminated etc.

well, I read somewhere that the server creates visual bullets at random. so looking at the bullets won't work when it comes to aiming it. however, minigun is a useless weapon, except when it comes to rushing into enemy base quickly.

I've been using minigun a bit in gathers (it has both balances sometimes). The trick to aiming it that works for me is rocking the cursor up and down, I can kill it about 20 bullets usually. I think it has to do with what Major said.

People should keep their tricks to themselves. Especially when their trick is the similar to someone elses.
