A minigun is a heavy weapon, first developed during the war by Equestria.
Overview[]
Miniguns are heavy weapons that excell at firing hundreds of rounds per minute. Miniguns fire using a rotary barrel that is powered by a small motor. the gun will take a moment to spin fast enough before firing. Miniguns are ideal anti-personnel weapons, their high rate of fire makes up for their lack of accuracy and can kill dozens of opponents in seconds. Due to their large size and ammo expenditure, a pony wielding one of these requires a battle-saddle and a large quantity of ammo and a reliable supplier to carry and use the weapon. a unicorn's telekinesis is also a way to fire this weapon .
