First, a completed GAU-8 is larger than a minivan (6.0 m) And it's 380 kg empty, without engine or magazine Gun + 1150 rounder Magazine is 1.83 tons, and still no engine. I suggest you just use similar, albeit smaller, fictional weapon. My suggestion is 12.7 or 14.5mm, medium caliber rifle for I.S. (think 7,62mm NATO or 30-06 springfield in human terms), at full power, Charles' 54 caliber (13.7mm) rifle is more than enough to take anything short of golem, and only because it's semi-automatic. So a gatling with such caliber is overkill already.

I saw it and it really is overkill. I'll change it later for something a little smaller. The reason for a minigun is because the main character REALLY sucks at using guns... let's say that the stormtroopers have better aim that the guy has. At least with a minigun he could hit something. |

It's good to have a standardized chapter size. Some of us writers often got a migraine when a chapter is too short or long. I use words rather than pages though, as the result, the number of dialogue may vary between chapters, despite roughly the same length.

1st POV is better if there's only two or three people involved in the scene, allowing deeper character exploration.
3rd POV is better when lots of people involved, also allowing unified narration and exposition. There's merits and flaw, but this is what I felt so far.

Well, it's the inverse, Iori want a kinetic weapon that cna be as powerful as their beam counterpart. Particle beam can be strong and lacking recoil, but actual range is horrible. However, solely depend on explosive or magnetic power to propel a projectile has their limit.
So all the plus and minus on both types of weapon is combined, resulting in crazy powerful weapon with crazy long range and crazy recoil and crazy cooldown + reload time (~10 second total). To explain why it has tremendous recoil too, Houki's Ugachi is not so much an energy cannon despite the appearance, but a linear accelerator firing tiny drop of molten metal fired at escape velocity (Think Reapers from mass effect).
