Minigun: Difference between revisions

The [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] renditions are based off a man portable version of the M134 Minigun, while the [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] version is based off the M197 tri-barreled Gatling. It has an incredible rate of fire and can annihilate most vehicles in almost less than a second around a certain radius. In Vice City, the minigun was perfect for mowing down targets level with the player, however, it could not be aimed manually. Instead, it shoots upwards automatically to e.g. helicopters, similar to the [[Rhino]]. In GTA San Andreas, thanks to the new aiming system, the minigun could be pointed in any direction, making shooting higher targets much easier, but also dangerous if the helicopter would crash into the ground and explode dangerously close to the player. It is almost 100% accurate as there is no recoil, but it can't lock on to a target which isn't much of a problem due to the very high power of each individual round and the amount of ammo it carries. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the player can both lock onto a target and shoot manually with the minigun.
