this is a silly post

Yes a dude with a minigun can use it while standing. is it practical? No. How much ammo can he really hold? Whats the reason for carrying such a heavy gun? All that armor will slow him down and does it even protect against hails of bullets. For what purpose?

>tl;dr Will it work in real life, yes. Is it practical, No

Ask yourself if any military is doing this kind of thing. No? Well there's your answer.

there's pretty much no reason to do this instead of mounting it on a vehicle, especially since it'll spend any carryable amount of ammo faster than you can say "I think they're dead"

Add an exo suit and an ability to magically carry thousands upon thousand of rounds, then maybe. But ask yourself what the same dude carrying a 249b or 249 with spare barrels couldn't do that your guy could.

I think a 30 cal minigun is way too much recoil for a person to hold

Maybe a rate reduced 556?

is that a pipboy on the heavy?

the gun is so heavy that it pretty much makes no difference.

>it costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon for twelve seconds

I know you just made a retarded post, but I'll reply anyway just for the self-satisfaction of it.

>Minigun
Worthless as an infantry weapon. Rate of fire does not equate to usefulness. What's deadlier, a dude hipfiring a minigun in your general direction or a light machine gunner who's basically shooting a laser of copper and lead from a more disciplined firing position?

>Bigass Armor
Armor that bulky would be useless in most infantry scenarios, even if we're being generous and assuming it can stop armor piercing 7.62, which is lying around by the bucket full in warzones. The only imaginable scenario where that could be useful would be in a pure assault situation. Like, this bigass dude must be dropped off into action directly from a helicopter or dumped out the ass of an APC where he can waddle his way toward the action where he would almost immediately be incapacitated by a lack of stamina thanks to the high-stress environment.

I'm sure there are some uses for this in police units. Pic related

for a lot of reasons, no. the only reason you put multiple barrels on a gun is because the cyclic rate is so high that a single barrel overheats too rapidly. a hip-aimed weapon that weighs a fuckton and goes through ammo like tony montana goes through cocaine means his 40 fucking pounds of weapon + ammo is usable for like, 10 seconds, none of which is precise aimed fire.

then he magically becomes the hilarious lumbering idiot strolling across the battlefield shooting his backup handgat from a standing position, with a hilarious polycarbonate face shield that is scoured by field conditions and blacked by his 10 seconds of full auto glory. which may be good because otherwise every light source in the vicinity will glint off and give away his position, earning him and his buddy some antimateriel rifle attention

That armor is a retarded mess.

For even more reasons than what have been said, what happens if the minigun gets hit? Bullets can pierce or deform most of that metal without issue and a minigun is a complex electromechanical weapon that is heavily reliant on all of its parts to work. Considering this dude looks like he expects to get hit a lot, it's a big possibility that he's going to be rendered useless pretty soon in a fight even assuming infinite ammo and inhuman strength.

Do you know how absurdly heavy a minigun is?

I was talking about the armor obviously

For cops, sure. For the military, no. A dude slowed down by heavy armor and a minigun is just going to get killed by more powerful weapons, some of which like machine guns, RPGs, mortars, and anti-materiel rifles can be carried by enemy infantry. It’s better to stay mobile or concealed.

No one uses anti-material rifles in 2018 anymore
this isn't 1920

This. A machine gun spraying a dude down is going to make it very difficult for him to walk at bare minimum. He's going to get knocked down by what is basically a second gravitational pull made of lead, then kept down until the bullets wear down his armor enough to penetrate it.

It takes like four car batteries to power a minigun. Nobody seems to realize that.

There's a reason they're always mounted to vehicles: they're hooked up to said vehicle's power system. They can't work otherwise.

So no.

Military equipment is a constant race between defense and offense. Offense is VERY MUCH more advanced at this point. Anyone trying OP's pic is going to be dead of either heatsroke or enemy action very quickly.

Yes, a gas mask and two knives are excellent standard issue kit.

How about an XM556 Microgun?

He should be fine as long as he doesn't need to look down. Hell with that armor he can't even look at his pip boy thingie. He can't even raise his arm high enough because of the pauldrons.

Or he is just gonna you know , shoot back and kill the attacker

okay what about this
implying it has an exoskeleton built in and is run on electricity

Do you still need the colume of fire a minigun can lay down being carried by an infantry man? What is the difference between a light machinegun and the minigun in your usecase?

if I recall, the 5.56 minigun propels a man sized lump off mass backwards at 20mph

the head is actually protected with a bulletptoof glass

Define "work".

"Bullet resistant."

Helmet like that's not going to keep him alive through many shots. Even with the floating plates.

Oh look, it's this bait post again. Nice job OP, proud of you.

A man literally cannot fire a minigun from the standing position, it is hard to control even firing blanks.

The psychological impact of such armor would be its principal weapon. Wouldn't be really useful in standard firefight, but in a crowd control scenario this could be a high impact burncard for law enforcement.

Anti material, not anti tank. 50cals

How much would the armor weight anyway ? 25 kg for a fully class IV fireproof suit ?

*bulletproof, mistyped

IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING BULLDOZER

Ah but that's where the armor plating comes in. When you're covered in 200 lbs of AR500, you won't move an inch. You also won't be able to walk anywhere, but you'll be able to absorb the recoil and become a human turret emplacement.

Much more than that if you want a truly bulletproof suit.

Lol an EOD suit weights like 80 lbs, and that's not even bulletproof

No, not without power armor. Because of recoil. When Jesse Venture fired the minigun in Predator, he was braced against a set, and was firing blanks, and it was still difficult for him to do so. And that isn't even getting into power supply, which you will need unless you want one that runs on recoil, a design choice that makes it heavier and even more unwieldy, and ammunition storage.

Like, Ammunition Storage is the main reason I can't watch Iron Man 2 without sperging out, because there is zero possibility that the Warmachine Ironman suit

You need a fuckton of ammmunition to come along with a minigun, even the slowest miniguns fire at 3000 rpm. With the kind of firepower a minigun gives you, only the stupid would go to a caliber with such short legs as the 5.56 NATO, but alas, idiots exist. So lets do some math. 5000 rounds for 5.56.


.223/5.56X45
(milsurp) British Radway Green SS109 63gr
Rounds per pound: 37.21
Weight per 100 rounds (lbs): 2.69

Comes out to 134.5 lbs. or 61 kilos.

And thats for fucktastically useless 5.56.

Now, I'd typically magical granny(6.5x38mm) but lets just not. Lets use common milsurp.


7.62x51/.308
Average .308/7.62x51 round:
Rounds per pound ~ 19.05rds
Weight per 100 rounds ~ 5.25lbs

More than double. 262.5 lbs or 119 kilos.


So right out of the gate, 36lbs for the 5.56 and either 41 or 85lbs for the 7.62. Lets say 50 lbs.

5.56 mingun with ammo-170lbs

7.62 minigun gun with ammo-312 lbs.

And neither of those figures include the ammunition carrying method, or the full feed belt.

Without power armor, it isn't happening. Even with power armor, its best to carry a fucking mount as well and use it like that.

>But ask yourself what the same dude carrying a 249b or 249 with spare barrels couldn't do that your guy could
Nah, if the powered armor dude can hump the mingun plus ammo, a 249 is pure shit. So is a 240b. Might as well go full HMG, or a 25/30mm timed grenade launcher.

Ventura, not Venture. Derp.

>earning him and his buddy some antimateriel rifle attention
That, or grenade launcher and RPG fire. I mean, granted, when you have to escalate to that and hope for firect hits with the GL, its not so good.

Gee, must have gotten the Astartes hip widening surgery, I guess he gets the shoulder widening surgery next week?

Bruh, if its 7.62 or smaller, just use a heavier MG3 with a rate of fire at 1200 rounds per minute. Or 1500. With an extra thick barrel. Otherwise your powered armor isn't big enough, and should go ahead and scale up just a bit more, and use a 12.7/14.7mm gatling.

>rate reduced
>Minigun
What's the point of having a minigun then?
