Hold your horses kiddo, I'm just telling things like they are. I'm not advocating for it.

Both Doom and Halo, and System Shock, and more FPS that I can count got it right: god weapons in them have limited ammos, and you need to find them, and then the player is incentivized to only use them in dire circumstances. It works.

The issue is when you have a god weapon in your inventory with plenty of ammo you can buy and/or find, or farm for. And a minigun in this circumstance is almost always a god weapon. Then the easiest way to balance that shit is to give all the bullets 1 DMG.

It's lazy, it's probably not the best way to handle it, sure, but it works. If you're offering minigun freely to your players, miniguns that can be hoarded and bullets farmed for, then your players will just do so. And the easiest, most braindead way to balance that shit is to give all bullets from your minigun 1 DMG.
