My ignorance is so great that I always thought that the minigun in UT was just a coined term for a "small machine gun". But recently I came across some You Tube videos of World War 1 machine guns being fired. There were Vickers, Lewis Guns, etc. After looking at a few of those, I found that the mini gun really does exist. And it even sounds similar to the UT99 version. Man, it eats ammo like popcorn, just like the nail gun in Quake! Scary!

Then while I was looking at motorcycle exhausts, I started seeing suggested videos up the side of the screen like this:

Are those scary enough for you? And can it be all that long before we see weapons like those in the Chaos mod? Sure, the flamethrower has been around since WW1, but what about the Proxy gun? Who the heck wants to meet those in the middle of a fire fight?

The Vulcan Cannon has been used way before Unreal Tournament, in the Descent series:a nameless entity wrote:My ignorance is so great that I always thought that the minigun in UT was just a coined term for a "small machine gun".

Re: It's just a matter of time
This guy is just so freaking insane! I have just watched 3 or 4 of his many videos about weapons he has fired. The first one was about a Russian AA12 fully automatic shot gun. Once again a weapon I had never heard of. Fully automatic? Shotgun? Well, why not!
Watch this guy go nuts in these example videos. There's lots more if you want to go watch them. At first I bought the Russian accent, and assumed he is actually somewhere in Russia. But he drove a U.S. armoured personel carrier with a 50 cal machine gun on it to a McDonalds. Lots of English on the signs around there..... I guess he is down in Arizona actually, or is it Nevada where you can own these weapons legally? In any event, what a nutcase!!
