Minigun (Fallout)

The Rockwell CZ53 personal minigun is a big gun in Fallout and Fallout 2.
==Background==
==Characteristics==
The CZ53 minigun is one of only three big guns in Fallout, and one of the more common big guns in Fallout 2. It does very well at mid- to close-range, where its 40-round bursts can tear apart small groups of enemies. At longer ranges, fewer shots in the burst are likely hit, resulting in lower overall damage considering the lower caliber rounds it fires and its reliance on volume of hits. The hollow-point ammo multipliers cause extreme amounts of damage to its targets, whereas armor piercing ammo is vastly inferior in unfixed game versions due to a well-known bug/miscalculation in the AP ammo behavior.
Super mutants and nightkin have salvaged miniguns for their use, stabilizing them on their arm for quick bursts. 
It is a fine weapon for Fallout, while the Avenger minigun one-ups it for Fallout 2. Paired with a Rockwell BigBazooka for longer range targets, it lets Big Gun focused characters overpower almost any opposition.
