7.62 Minigun or pea shooter?Why so weak?

It'd be nice to have those iron sights on the minigun

In terms of dimensions, the M134 shoots the same round as the G3/M14/H&K21. I'm not entirely sure about grains, etc.

Im gona cut on my game cam and go shoot people with the blackhawk now to show you. There's something about where you will see it hit them and it doesn't do anything.

The G3 and the MX134 do shoot the same caliber, the 7.62 NATO but the XM134's round is about 20mm longer. Much more grains & force behind it.

Sorry mate but the mini gun fires the exact same bullet as every other nato 7.62x51 weapon not 20mm longer that would make it 7.62x71.

Ok I'm confused then because I looked it up and it said the XM134 shoots the 7.62x51mm NATO and the G3A3 shoots the 7.62x33 NATO. The internet confuses me


Never mind..... Was looking at the old version and it shot a 7.62x40.... Ignore me....


Another thing is there is a .50 BGM version of the minigun you know..... lol

All it has to do with is netcode + moving vehicle + no sights. Its a bitch to hit guys on the ground.

Just to clear some things up:
Even if you were using Wiki as a "source" you didn't read it right xD

It was talking about the G3's History when mentioning 7.92x33mm and 7.92x40mm, which were based on the StG45. Also notice that they were 7.92, not 7.62, the rounds used in rifles during WWII.

Currently The G3 Uses the same round as the M134, which is the 7.62x51mm NATO.
I honestly don't know where you heard that the G3 uses something else o.O, hopefully that clears some things up =]

(Also, the closest thing to your "7.62x33" is the 7.62x39mm used in AK-47's and SKS's )

[Scarlet_Pimp]

Dave the 7.62x33 round is used in the m1 carbine, and therefore in the m2 and m3 carbines too. I just found that out. That round is much smaller than the AK round 7.62x39 and the NATO 7.62x51.

Ahhhh the mini-grun rant again. lol. Well imo the thing still isn't nearly as lethal as its RL counter part. The thing is that the splash damage needs to kill a guy with one hit. Maybe it does already...if so it probably could be expanded a bit for sure. Its not like helicopters aren't already getting shotdown all day...they surely could use a little extra protection.

[Soulja]

REGARDLESS getting of the subject of my bad research....


The Minigun fires the same round as the G3 and it shoots at 6000 RPM, though it's toned down in most cases, so there needs to be some kind of change here.If what Katarn said is true then all it needs is a little deviation in the shots. It shouldn't be a lazer beam to the target, or it needs AOE.

[TristanYockell]

Whynot make it 1800 RPM in game then?. Then change the damage levels accordingly.
