From face-hugging alarm clocks to flying battlemowers, is it any wonder people are afraid of technology?

I can only imagine the amount of jamming and misfeed problems that would occur with 8 miniguns trying to feed from the same ammunition box...not to mention...how do you manage to feed 8 weapons with one belt of ammunition. Feasibility is...negligible. Also...those kind of weapons can jam well enough when it's one gun and one belt.
My other question is this: Why is this affiliated with SpecOps? Across the board, to varying degrees, SpecOps are designed to be light, mobile units that specialize in unconventional warfare tactics in order to accomplish very specified mission criteria. This is a defensive turret configuration...neither light or mobile. It also seems to me that its a very small round for something intended to go against airspeeders and starships.
Just my two cents.

I was gonna just go with plain old Mandalorians.. *Shrug* 'Kay. I'll fix it all.
Also after some researching, I've upped the projectile size to about the size of a round used in an M61 vulcan.

Then you should probably up the ammunition caliber on the Go application too. I also noticed that its RPM is pretty low for a minigun (the slower ones usually running at 2,000-4,000) which in turn would up this weapon's RPM in addition. So basically it needs to fire faster with more dangerous ammunition. Wonderful.
I'll approve this if you program it not to aim at me. O v O

Upped the ammo capacity and RPM for this. About to do the same for Go.

It's like a flamethrower but with bullets. I would love to see the slagging it could do to hulls.
