Full Version: Making a Minigun

Arsenal Page 30 lists the minigun rules and states that any machinegun can be made into a minigun however there is no cost listed. Additionally what would be the most likely rules for a high velocity minigun?

Anybody have a clue or an official ruling?

On looking back, my post didn't really help, so I nuked it from orbit.

Sorry for the bandwidth.

I would place the cost at about 3 times that of a manufactured minigun before availability reduction expenditures, honestly. All of that custom machining, shipping of parts, etc would be a complete pain in the hindparts. It's not like you can go down to your local gun shop and order minigun barrels, after all.

This highlights one of the things I didn't like about Arsenal. Some of the items the book calls "mods" would require a total redesign of the weapon. You essentially engineer a new weapon that resembles the previous one, and might use a few of the previous parts.


Well It also lets you design you own weapons... adding mods and renaming. But darn it I want My Troll Sniper wants his high velocity heavy minigun with apds.

High Velocity and Minigun wouldn't stack. You'd just get the minigun effect.

Based on a thread I posted a while back on this same question, it seems that there's no official way to make a minigun.

No official ruling, I'd just go with the same slots and cost as the HVAR mod, and add in a little GM approval smile.gif
