What's better than wielding two miniguns, or a double minigun? Dual-wielding double-miniguns!

The ammo capacity for that particular weapon is actually 4480 7.62x63mm NATO bullets. The combined fire rate of the 4 miniguns are 8400 rpm, ( Or 4 bullets every tic. This is a concept for a future Doom TC. ) that comes to exactly 32 seconds of sustained fire. :3c

That's impressive, though the 400lbs of ammo might be a bit awkward to lug around.
Though you could get around the big DC motors and battery pack by making the action Gas operated like some russian designs, that would save some weight. Probably drop them to three barrels each for that 35hz cyclic rate, six is somewhat overkill from a cooling perspective...
Polymer cartridge cases would save some weight, but then cooling becomes an issue again. Brass is an excellent heatsink material as it turns out, H&K found that out with the G11 caseless rifle. Had to get special propellants and sealing lacquer made up by Dynamit Nobel to prevent cook-off.Power armor might be a good idea. XD

Hmm, 3 barrels is not a bad idea.
