: It's both irrelevant to TF2 AND untrue. I believe the "Mini" comes from the fact that in its original design, it was based off a similar gun, but fired smaller bullets a lot faster, so each barrel was "mini" compared to the other gun --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]]&nbsp;{{mod}}&nbsp;[[File:User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg]] 16:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Minigun is referred to Sascha not Sasha.--[[User:Coconut|Coconut]] 17:47, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Incorrect Trivia Information ==
 
 
 
"The Minigun's bullets (four per 1 ammo) are the same in both power and range as the pellets fired from the Shotgun, it just fires much faster."
 
 
 
This information is wrong and conflicts with the numerical information displayed in both the Minigun and Shotguns' pages. Not to mention it isn't present in the Shotgun's Trivia section.
 
I am removing this, and can please a moderator/administrator keep it this way, as a butt-hurt SPUFer doesn't want to admit he's wrong and will revert this. - [[User:Mistah Phoenix|Mistah Phoenix]] 16:05, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
This dispute was started over the SPUF, of all things. I will continue to keep the status quo until a moderator gives the official word on this. You don't change wiki information in the heat of an argument just to prove a point. --[[User:Talcon|Talcon]] 18:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

::: Alright, thanks --[[User:Talcon|Talcon]] 18:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::: Just throwing this out there. Talcon pointed out that sentence during the argument, I noticed it was wrong, I corrected him and the wiki page. My guess is that since almost no one checks the trivia to find damage-related information on weapons, that wrong sentence went unnoticed. - [[User:Mistah Phoenix|Mistah Phoenix]] 19:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Well i was playing as the heavy earlier and i found this glitch here:  {{youtube|WwyEiT1wSDU}}
 
 
 
 
 
it seems you can run at full speed as the heavy and actually fire your minigun as if you were reving it, so im asking if i can add this to the minigun trivia or bugs (Credit to my friend frey who made video and helped me get the glitch) [[User:Gamecrazy009|Gamecrazy009]] 19:49, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

== SasCha noteable ==
 
 
 
Valve made a typo (<small>Source: [[User:Nineaxis/Steam_Chat_Archive]]</small>) on their blog post [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4608&p=1 Shh. Sascha is asleep.]. Can we build a consent on whether this is noteable or not, since this article keeps on going back and forth (especially with WindBOT correcting the typo, which would be fixable).

so i tried to add some information about the heavy saying, in poker nigth at the inventory, that he melts his own custom bullets out off old collectors coins. but it says that things stated in poker nigth at the inventory isnt relevant, but if i didnt have poker nigth at the inventory i would think that it was "funny" to know that trivia <small>--''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' [[User:Delta265|Delta265]] ([[User talk:Delta265|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Delta265|contribs]]) 1626, 25 November 2010 (UTC)</small>

:What proof do you have exactly that Poker Night is non-canon? [[User:Samiam22|Samiam22]] 19:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::Quite simply that Valve didn't make the game and only licensed a likeness of the Heavy. The onus is on people to prove it is canon, rather than the other way round. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 13:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Colour changing minigun? ==
 
 
 
I was playing earlier and I occasionally saw the minigun go black when a heavy died. Has anyone else seen this bug: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33908159/2012-05-17_00008.jpg] <span style="color:#3399CC;font-family:'Lucida Console';text-shadow:#66FF33 2px 2px 2px;">'''Bojjob'''</span> 17:28, 21 May 2012 (PDT)

== Rendered bullets ==
 
 
 
On my computer, and on replays I've watched, only one bullet out of the four that are fired at once is ever rendered. Relevance for trivia?
 
 
 
Also regarding the trivia, the person that tried to do the maths, for some reason, thought the minigun burned through its ammunition in only 10 seconds. Herp derp.
