"First seen in the movie "Predator" in 1987, the hand-held Minigun has captured the harts and minds of He-Men everywhere, be it in games or in real life. The very image of Jesse Ventura as Blain, spraying bad guys with a veritable hail of bullets that issued forth from his Minigun Painless was so powerful that the weapon has been seen in both countless other movies *and* in games.
Even in real life the idea caught on surprisingly well. Apparently some of America`s Special Forces guys saw Predator and realized that a hand-held Minigun would be a great asset for clearing out landing zones real fast. Having ample acces to the needed equipment, they started experimenting. And ran into some problems.
The first was that the Minigun weighed in at thirty pounds, which was heavy, but carryable. A backpack with a thousand rounds of ammunition and a linkless belt to the Minigun weighed in at another thirtyfive pounds. Backpacks with two thousand rounds weighed in at sixtyfive pounds, and were totally unrealistic in size. Just the gun and the ammo weighed in at sixtyfive pounds.
The second was that in the movie, the power for the Minigun had been supplied by a pair of truck batteries through a cable that simply ran over the ground, and up into the Minigun. Since those batteries weighed some 30 pounds each, it was obvious that only one could be carried by one person (in addition to all the other equipment the soldier was to carry). Thus, the weapon could never be fired at its full rate of fire.
The third problem was that even at "only" a 1000 rpm rate of fire the gun produces about 11 kg of recoil *continuesly*! And this amount of force increases geometrically in proportion to the rate of fire. Firing a large burst would result in the gunner being spun around by his own weapon, and spraying everything around him indiscriminately with bullets. Including his own comrades.....
After some experimenting it was thus realized that the gun would simply be too heavy and cumbersome to be ever used in real life combat, and the concept was abandoned. No army in the world has a hand-held Minigun in its arsenal."

THANK YOU, someone who knows/looked up what I was talking about. All these other people see it in movies and games and think its real/possible to actually use... -
For the record, it is WRONG for a Moderator to ever say that something will "definately" never be released because, as it stands, Moderators have no real power or authority over what content goes into the game. They are simply there to Moderate forums and such.

Crossfire is not a Sci-Fi shooter it is based on modern game play.
I don't believe a Gatling gun can be wielded by a single human being.
The Gatling gun is fine in M.M cuz M.M is non realistic but I don't like to see it in other modes like s&d or t/d.
"Take note of this. Crossfire is a modern, fast paced shooter. Its gameplay stye does not lend itself to heavy explosive weapons, and they will not be added. Crossfire is also not a sci-fi shooter. We will not see plasma guns or lasers in the game. So, please consider this before you post. Thanks."
