Minigun (Fallout)

The Rockwell made minigun or CZ53 personal minigun is a big gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The CZ53 is an excellent big gun, especially since it's one of only 3 big guns in Fallout, and one of the more common big guns in Fallout 2. It's best at mid- to close-range shooting, where its 40 round bursts can tear apart small groups of enemies. At longer ranges, fewer bullets hit, resulting in a lower damage due to the small bullets it shoots. The hollow-point round multipliers create ridiculous amounts of damage, while the AP ammo remains useless due to engine glitches and miscalculations.

All in all, it's a fine weapon for Fallout, while the Avenger minigun one-ups it for Fallout 2. Paired with a Rockwell BigBazooka for long range, it lets a big guns character blow apart any opposition.
