This article is about the handheld weapon. For the vehicle-mounted version without rockets, see Mounted .50 cal. For the vehicle-mounted version that includes rockets, see Minigun/Rockets.
The Mini-Gun sacrifices accuracy for sheer fire power, and is the cornerstone in Ultor's urban renewal plan.[1] When firing this weapon there is a delay before firing while the barrel starts spinning.
In Saints Row: The Third, the Mini-Gun has a much smaller barrel firing delay along with a quicker reload speed. The only downsides are that is only obtainable by killing a Brute and it is a Temporary Weapon which cannot be stored in the inventory or Weapons Cache.

Oleg can pick the Mini-Gun when one is around. However he usually drop it when Playa enters a vehicle or being far away from them, it's still possible for Oleg to carry a Mini-Gun while driving a Criminal however trough the chance is rare.
Wielding either the Mini-Gun and Incinerator makes Playa fire proof.
