Actually it was the cowboy type person who owned the Mini-gun in
Predator, and he was not superman!  And even if he was, the other guy
who used it was not superman either - so mini-gunners should just be
quite strong.  The mini-gun that is mounted on choppers etc are
probbably Vulcan Cannons which ARE VERY HEAVY!!
