Minigun overpowered? I'm sure it will be balanced. You would probably need to spin it up, which will slow you down considerably, would waste ammo quickly, wouldn't be able to jump, and would be much less effective at long range. If you want more firepower somewhere you're going to have to sacrifice it somewhere else.
