Minigun

A minigun is a multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire, employing Gatling-style rotating barrels. It was a standard military weapon before the Great War.

It is widely used by powerful factions as the super mutants, the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave, for their extraordinary firepower at close range.

CZ53 personal minigun


A Rockwell CZ53 personal minigun. A multi-barreled chaingun firing 5mm ammunition at over 60,000 RPM. The favorite weapon of the Mariposa super mutants.

CZ57 Avenger minigun


Rockwell designed the CZ57 Avenger as the replacement for their aging CZ53 personal minigun. The Avenger's design improvements include improved gel-fin cooling and chromium plated barrel-bores. This gives it a greater range and lethality.

Another Avenger minigun appear in Fallout Tactics, which is more compact, less powerful and chambered for 5.56mm bullets.

Vindicator Minigun


The German Rheinmetall AG company created the ultimate minigun. The Vindicator throws over 90,000 caseless shells per minute down its six carbon-polymer barrels. As the pinnacle of Teutonic engineering skill, it is the ultimate hand-held weapon.

Another Vindicator minigun appear in Fallout Tactics, which is heavier and chambered for much more common 7.62mm bullets.
