Vindicator minigun

The Vindicator Minigun is a Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics weapon.

Fallout 2
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. Min ST: 7.

Along with the Bozar, many consider the Vindicator to be the ultimate big gun. Even enemies clad in Power Armor can be brought down in a single burst. The only down side of the weapon is the scarcity of the ammunition it uses. The Minigun runs on 4.7mm Caseless bullets, which can only be bought in two stores, and not easily found. One convenient method involves traveling close to San Francisco for the Hubologist random encounter; the Hubologists sometimes carry submachine guns using the same ammo. However, it can be stolen from most of the guards in Chinatown, San Francisco. The minigun itself can be acquired on-board the Enclave Oil Rig or sometimes bought in San Francisco.

Fallout Tactics
In Fallout Tactics, a new type of Vindicator Minigun appeared and is chambered for the much more common 7.62mm bullets.

Trivia
These weapon with the perks Living Anatomy (5 damage is added to each shot fired), Bonus Ranged Damage (2 ranks), and Better Criticals may be more effective. Damage exceeding 2000 have been reported.
