What's your opinion of the current minigun?

I like it. Don't change it.
I hate it. Don't change it.
It's too powerful - too much damage
It's too powerful - easily abused
It's too weak - not enough damage
It's too weak - clip size is too small
The startup time ruins an otherwise usable gun
It's too fast!

Thats because mini is rapid fire, and its jumbo clip don't forget that.

The Minigun for soldat is designed to flush tunnels and get those rugers and barrets way out of aim.

Plus if you spray at a guy(s) on the ground, you'll easily keep him at bay as backup arrives :)

It does not use a clip. It uses a belt. Haven't you seen the belt hanging down when you use the weapon?

Yeah, I know, usually I'm correcting people for calling a magazine a clip. But this time, the gun doesn't use a magazine. :P

I love the minigun it is my second favourite weapon in the game despite the disadvantage of it's spray. if you cut that down so that more of the shots hit your target at a decent range you wouldnt need to make the bullets do more damage as it's rate of fire would easily mow down an opponent. the mini gun can fire across some decent sized maps. but you cant use it beyond a medium range with any accuracy and expect to get a kill.  as for the surfing ability and start up delay of this gun if you cut them out then you remove the properties which make this gun unique. if i wanted to use such a gun i would choose option 9 not option 0

theres only 8 options, and if you counts option 1 to be optoin 0, then theres only 7.

I didn't say anything about attaching it to a pistol. And I obviously know what this forum is about, so think before you post something so stupid.

I think the minigun should never have been implemented in the first place.

The only way to balence it with the other weapons is to make it suck, and that is what has happened.

And because of it, the minigun is one of the least used, and it is occasionaly abused weapons in the game.

I say remove it or replace it.
There are other worlds than these

I say that its too weak and too small, The minigun in real life is 500-1000 in a clip. 100 is too small. I guess MM was just trying to make it more Soldat based. It is also to weak in Normal mode. It takes like 40 shots for one simple kill.

It's far too weak/inaccurate to pose much of a threat to even below-average players. Less bink, stronger bullets, quicker reload. It might not become popular in clanwars, but at least we'll see more of it on pubs. It's as much of a joke as the Saw is right now.
true u can barely shoot straight with the minigun and itz damage sukz!

I say this:

Increase the firepower, in its current state, a single shot from it apears to be weaker than a mp5 round....

And Add a overheat factor, like with the stationary guns, i bet the barrels of a real minigun would overheat easily if constantly fired!!

that is true, most games with a minigun have 100-400 rounds and an amazingly short time untill it overheats, is much more accurate, and most importanly....

CAN ACCUALTY KILL PEOPLE.
