The '''Minigun''' is an electrically-operated Gatling gun. It dispenses rounds from its six rotating barrels at an incredible rate, although continuous fire will result in overheating, at which point the rate of fire will drop to around that of a pistol. When used, there is a slight pause as the barrels spin up to speed before firing can actually commence, although the weapon's alternate fire mode keeps the barrels "warmed up" so you can fire immediately. The slight drawback of this secondary mode is that overheating will occur quicker.

A notable difference is that in [[TimeSplitters 1]] the gun is much smaller than other incarnations and two can be held at the same time. In [[TimeSplitters 2]] and [[TimeSplitters: Future Perfect]], the Minigun is much bigger and takes up a bigger portion of the screen.

The Minigun is an electronic Gatling gun. It dispenses rounds from its six rotating barrels at an incredible rate of fire, although continuous fire will result in the barrel overheating, reducing the firing speed (and effectiveness) of the weapon to about that of a semi-automatic pistol. When the trigger is held down, there is a slight delay before the gun starts firing while the barrel heats up. When the trigger is released, the barrel begins to slow to a stop. The weapon's alternate fire mode keeps the barrels "warmed up" so you can fire immediately. The slight drawback of this secondary mode is that overheating will occur more quickly.

In TimeSplitters 1 the gun is much smaller than other incarnations, and the Minigun can be dual-wielded. In TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, the Minigun is much bigger and takes up a bigger portion of the screen.
