Okay, now I gave one of my players a minigun to help clear out a ghoul nest and it was totally fucking worthless. It is only useful for suppressive fire? How can you really make use of it when you suffer a -15DP to shoot it? Also, how much recoil compensation do drones have? He also has a Lynx with a Vindicator, and for it to shoot with recoil means it has no dice left to hit. Please help!
