About Miniguns

Karpov:
Hello, I want to talk about the minigun. I had the disgrace to run over another player in the middle of the wasteland, he wanted to kill me, he held a minigun, but as I was easily 25 hexes away from him I just though that if he shot me it would not hurt that much as if I was right in front of him...it seems i was wrong, he hit me for 140 HPs.  Now, that's so wrong. The minigun burst fires 30 rounds at 60000 RPM , ok but at maximum range there is no way that the 30 hit the target, because of the spread of the bullets and because you hold it in your hands!  ;D . It happens with the SMG or the Assault Rifle, standing in front of the target a burst is deadly, but far away like 5 hexes it is not much.
    But the reason I write this post is to ask if with the minigun this happens everytime or it was just bad luck, because i don't want to post it as a suggestion if it does not.

Solar:
If he is skilled with Big Guns, then about 1/3rd of the bullets will have hit you. If this is average or lucky depends on what bullets he was using and what armour you had on

Attero:
you either had no armor or some weak one and no toughtness
if he has v high skill he will have 95% hit on you so it doesnt really matter if its 10 or 25 hexes ....
as for spread ... well it might have spread but its not a aoe weapon with no aim...
(here however some different mechanics for minigun and rifle spread could be nice - maybe in future)

i'm play a minigun with 2 perk BRD (bonus range dmg), that mine i will get more +4dmg/1bullet. If u don't have armor i think i can hurt u with 100-160hp. (40/3) x ((8-11)x4) = ????

Crazy:
If you have no armor, don't be surprised to be butchered: minigun shot 30 bullet, with JHP ammunition, it do *2dmg of 8-11 with 30% DR
So if only 1/3 of bullets hit (and a very skilled Big Gunner gonna thit more), you take easily 120 damage! And if you are little lucky (IRL I mean ;p) you can do more.
But with a good armor, things changes a lot and it's no so much effective, but minigun is ultimate to kill bluesuits ;p.
