+HekateMGO"[one with physical triggers & hand grips] with the lightweight mod is 30Kg"
Trigger and hand grip, 11kg, yea right. No you are way of there.
" Still a far cry from 10Kg"
Wrooooong; there is a 10kg version to. Go check it up.
"Oh damn, look at that I wasn't "gussing" numbers. Nice try."
Have you ever seen a game where they have 6000 bullets in the mingun, one single game, and i give you right on this. Other wise. no.
"Good luck finding one that weighs only 400g."
Wrong again. A lipo is 200wh/kg and 40C. So that is 8000W/kg of battery, or 20C or prolonged period (4000w/kg) that is 1624/4000=0,406kg.... that is 406gram.... Well that is 6 grams of.... And tell you want, i was not guessing, i did calculation at my previous post. Also, the power consumption is less at lower RPM
"And mind you, the peak recoil force of the gun is 1350N at 3,000RPM"
This is also wrong. Its 10g of bullet at 850m/s at 50rps +charge. Thats 425N. The weight of the charge is about the same, but the speed is in average half. So that is 637N.. Again you are guessing. And if you have a mussel-break (yea, a normal minigun dont have one, but if you will have one hand carried, you might consider it), you are down to about 400N. I can quite happily hold of 400N... But sure at 6000rpm and and no mussel-break, you would have a problem
"lugging around 100-200Kg of equipmen"
19kg of minigun, 25kg of rounds, and 400 gram of battery. I could quite easily carry that. And i can also calculate. You might net be able, but its not my problem you are week.
And also XM214 i could easily carry, its freaking only. And also being a 5.56 the ammo weight is less than half, and the recoil being about half (with a higher mussel-velocity. Also i have seen the XM214 specified as the "minigun" in some games.For example Serous Sam 3 specifies is as a XM214. And some games the "minigun" uses belt sharing with other guns we know to be 5.56, so it have to be a XM214 or other similar gun. For example AvP it seems to be a 5.56 2700RPM and 900 rounds. That is 10kg of ammunition, probably 10 kg of gun and 190N-290N (depending on mussel-break) of recoil. That is 100% manageable even for a week person.
Also, even the light weight mini-gun uses a soft iron electric motor. It only have a efficiency of about 50% and its quite heavy (about 4-5kg). Today you can buy a hash-back array neodymium 3-fase engine that is under a kg with the same power, also with a bout 95% efficiency. A lot of game plays out with secret special forces and near future combat. If it dont say M-134 specifically, it can be just anything with a rotary barrel...
Well, i checked it up. I was way of about the performance of the Hashback array engine 5.25kW (output) and 560 grams
