So I am running a V&V PbP game set in late 1963 after the Kennedy assassination. One weapon that was available then and was being mounted on choppers was the minigun, a scaled-down version of the Vulcan 20mm cannon. I was wondering how people here would stat out a minigun in their V&V games if they were to use one. I am using alternate auto-fire rules so the -1 to damage per additional round fired does not reply. I was wondering about a couple different types of attacks, a direct-fire attack where you are trying to hit a particular target and an area-denial attack where you hose down an area within a certain arc of fire. The cyclical rate on that beast would come out to 50 rounds per phase but I was thinking more on the lines of 10 to 20 round bursts as I saw listed in descriptions of the weapon. I have some thoughts but I am curious to see what others would come up with before putting them down.

So fellow V&V GMs.....miniguns.....how would you do them?
