Minigun (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Minigun is a weapon

Gameplay
The minigun delivers an extremely high rate of fire, making it ideal for inflicting heavy damage on large quantities of unarmored enemies. With the use of armor piercing ammunition, the minigun is extremely deadly. Due to its poor spread, the high rate of fire effectiveness is somewhat negated at medium to long-distance combat. Additionally, this rate of fire can quickly exhaust ammunition supplies, as well as reducing the weapon's condition quickly during sustained fire. This weapon has a Strength requirement of 10, the highest in the game, weighing in at 25 lbs.

Durability
The minigun can fire a total of about 5,995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 25 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Locations

 * Sometimes super mutant masters can be found carrying them.
 * Black Mountain - In an Average-locked trunk by the radio in the camp near the top of the mountain.
 * Black Rock cave - Occasionally carried by the nightkin master.
 * Brotherhood of Steel safehouse - One in a low condition, on a shelf with a missile launcher and 200 rounds of 5mm surplus ammunition.

Bugs

 * The ammunition backpack may become stuck to the back of the player character regardless of unequipping or switching to a different weapon/armor. It may also flicker or may not disappear and duplicate itself multiple times, appearing to hover and follow the player character around. To fix this as well as many other glitches for the minigun, drop the minigun then equip another weapon and drop the second weapon before picking both weapons up.
 * The weapon firing sound usually does not play out with the animation. For every 2-3 bursts fired, you will hear the firing sound only once or twice.
 * It is possible that the barrel spinning animation will not play out while in the first person, this usually follows some other glitch.
 * Sometimes the rotor sound does not play. The sound played is not the rotor sound, but the firing sound, even though no bullets have been fired.
 * Rarely the fully modified minigun becomes unholstered at all times. It will be stuck to the Courier's hand even if holstered. It may even float upside down a small distance away at times.
