It's more a description of what a minigun is. You can't convert an existing non-minigun to a minigun; it's a fundamental, ground-up design feature. What the box says is that only machine guns (L/M/H-MGs) can be constructed as miniguns; i.e., miniguns are machine guns, never pistols/SMGs/ARs/sniper rifles/etc.

The way they list it is pretty confusing. They do that a lot in different books. Organization of the rules has never been a strong point for shadowrun. 4th ed or otherwise.

You can figure out the cost by yourself: all you need is 6 machine guns and some glue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It probably doesn't help that the barrel arrangement in previous artwork of HVARs seemed to imply a rotary minigun style mechanism. Heck, anyone remember the minigun pistol from the aborted Shadowrun Assassin video game? -karma |

The Sakura Fubuki uses 4 barrels of 10 stacked bullets to fire narrow bursts, so it's essentially a very limited Metal Storm-type gun. |

I wouldn't really call it limited, its pretty much same as the metal storm pistols they've been showing to us. |

Maybe, I just meant in comparison to the big array-type concepts Metal Storm promo'd earlier, the LMG-scale robo-unit ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
