* '''Straight''': A man-portable minigun carried by [[TheBigGuy Bob]] is shown to be extremely effective at killing lots of targets, putting the rest of the team's weapons to shame.

** Bob's man-portable minigun shoots ''rockets.'' It's able to effortlessly reduce entire armies to LudicrousGibs.
** Bob carries a gatling gun where each of the six rotating barrels is a gatling gun... [[{{Recursion}} Where each of those rotating barrels is a gatling gun!]]

** Bob tries to use a minigun while on foot, without a tripod or any other support. [[RecoilBoost The knockback]] sends him flying straight into a nearby wall.
** Bob runs out of ammo in about 20 seconds of continuous fire.
** Alan tries to use a minigun, but is easily shot due to a lack of maneuverability. [[CaptainObvious Miniguns are cumbersome.]]

** [[SimpleYetAwesome Do what Richard Jordan Gatling did]]: place the damned thing on a tripod, find a nice little spot you can fortify with a very clear line of sight to the kill zone (and also hopefully is far away enough that you only need to do tiny adjustments to your rain of lead instead of swinging around like crazy), and pull the trigger and don't let go either until you are out of ammo or everything is dead.

* '''Downplayed''': Bob carries a man-portable minigun (which is actually more of an LMG with multiple rotating barrels) that has been designed to actually be easily portable by the average person, sadly sacrificing its hugeness and awesomeness for the efficiency of a regular old machine gun. It's a powerful weapon, but not unrealistically so.

** ''EVERY'' soldier is fitted out with a standard issue minigun. [[EasyLogistics The funding is practically infinite for such a ridiculous undertaking, and the batteries, ammunition, and minigun are all connected in a backpack system]].
