"Take that, you bastards!"

The CT-20 Minigun is one of the most powerful weapons developed by CenTech and Arcanian Military Industries (AMI). It was created as a weapon powerful enough to be useful on helicopters, yet light enough to be wielded by soldiers.

Development
Creating a "handheld superweapon," as it was called, wasn't easy. In several first attempts, the minigun's barrels would fly off due to their cyclic speed. Also, the motor would often burn up and set off much of the ammo, which in one incident killed 20 workers and injured the remaining 4. A final design was perfect in 2029, five years after development began. After much testing, it was released in 2030, just in time for the war to begin.

Uses
Being as large as it is, the minigun is rather clumsy to carry and often wears the user out. However, it can still be used in that manner. It is most often mounted on APCs, patrol cars, helicopters, tanks, and boats. It was famously used in the Siege of Koneras City, in which Sharp Shooters Captain George Johnson removed it from a patrol car and killed around 120 Cosovani soldiers before enemy APCs bore down on him and detained him. Eventually, it was replaced by a more modern version, the CT-31 Minigun.
