The Minigun is a weapon in Unreal, Unreal Tournament, UT2003, and UT2004, as well as UC. Since UC2, the functions of the Minigun seem to have been taken over by the Stinger.

With one notable exception, the weapon has remained more or less unchanged: Primary fire shoots out a fast stream of inaccurate bullets that do light damage, while secondary fire shoots out more accurate and damaging bullets, but the rate of fire is severely dropped. The exception is in Unreal and Unreal Tournament, where these firing modes were swapped.

The Schultz-Metzger T23-A 23mm rotary cannon is capable of firing both high-velocity caseless ammunition and cased rounds. With an unloaded weight of only 8 kilograms, the T23 is portable and maneuverable, easily worn across the back when employing the optional carrying strap. The T23-A is the rotary cannon of choice for the discerning soldier.
