Miniguns on WARSHIPS? You mean Phalanx guns? Nothing very mini about
them (they fire what? 20mm shells? Something like that?)... nor is
there anything very mini about a real mini gun, either. In T2 it was a
superhuman robot and in Predator, it was Arnold the Barbarian... in
Real Life (tm) the mini guns that are mounted on choppers weigh like
300 pounds. So do mini gunners come trained in 5 seconds with cybentic
limbs and spinal cord to hold those guns? Or  is the name and weapon
simply a conciet that we should understand to mean 'nasty light
machine gun' as 'man portable' it aint and it certinaly doesn't refer
to the mini guns of the 80's and 90's.

The only mini gun-like-gun that I know of that' man portable is the
one featured in DooM... but you know about that one right?

>52: PUT THE FUCKING AIRCRAFT ON THE RADAR!!!

And on that we can agree on... I would go a step further though and
require a second kind of radar base to see air targets (to see ground
forces, you have satellite transmissions... to see planes, you should
be able to get a radar system up and running).
