Okay, I had $8 in iTunes credit still left over when both the 3x sale AND the 30% off weapons sale came about, so what would normally cost ~$30 worth of gems, I was able to afford quite easily. I'm sure you guys want some specs on what the Laser Minigun is actually like, so here you go.

For being the most expensive weapon in the game as of yet, the Laser Minigun isn't nearly as powerful as one would think it to be. I can certainly say that it does not have the highest DPS in the game; that honor still stays with the Chain Thunderbolt. I conducted tests on the DPS by recording the number of shots required to kill the Dragon in the campaign. Since the dragon has the most health of anything in PG3D, it is the most accurate reference with which to assess the relative firepower of weapons. I also recorded the rate of fire of said weapons, and used them to calculate the time it would take to kill the Dragon. Here are my results. I listed the weapon, followed by the number of shots required to kill the Dragon, followed by the rate of fire, followed by Las time it would thus take to kill the Dragon (reload times not counted).

Laser Minigun
59 shots
4.16 shots/second
[14.16 seconds]

Chain Thunderbolt
51 shots
12.5 shots/second
[4.08 seconds]

Dragon's Breath
47 shots
8 shots/second
[5.875 seconds]

Freeze Ray
56 shots
8 shots/second
[7 seconds]

Automatic Peacemaker UP2
128 shots
9 shots/second
[14.22 seconds]

As you can clearly see, the Laser Minigun does about as much damage per second as the Automatic Peacemaker UP2. That's the highest non-gem upgrade for the Automatic Peacemaker. That's terrible for a supposedly über-powerful weapon. The Chain Thunderbolt has, quite literally, 3.5x the DPS of that of the Laser Minigun, albeit at extremely short range. The Dragon's Breath and Freeze Ray deal over double the DPS.

Overall, the Laser Minigun is not really worth saving up 343 gems for. Your investments would be more worthwhile in upgrading existing weapons such as the Armageddon.
 
Well, if bonuses from accessories such as capes and boots are included, I believe the laser minigun could trump the Automatic Peacemaker UP2 by a good margin. This seems this way considering that damage increasing accessories such the Custom Cape along with the King's Crown give a damage increase of 10%, which helps the Laser Minigun considering that it's usefulness comes from it's damage, not fire-rate. Then again, the Automatic Peacemaker UP2 is aided by Stormtrooper accessories which provide "increased damage and more ammo" and Headphones which add 5% more damage to Primary weapons. Then again, perhaps I'm thinking about this too much.
Nonetheless, it's nice to know that some people are taking matters into their own hands when in consideration of which weapon is more superior. I like that. Keep up the good work, Silberklinge.
(P.S. the "Avalanche" could also use some testing as well)（‐＾▽＾‐）

This game is multiplayer, the problem is some weapon seems to be OP in multiplayer, but some are great at monsters mode.
Example, Avalacnhe is great against monsters.
Have you ever tried to calculate with the accesscories?
With the capes and Headphone it add up to 15% Damage, it's like a rapidfire PSR, but with more damage and firerate.
Also, chain thunderbolt is shotgun not automatic weapon, so it would do more damage with all the pellets in the monster head/body.
Just saying, but this minigun does wallbreak even the firerate is slow and have damage more than PSR, the damage and wallbreak make this gun be the most OP-est weapon in the game.
This weapon is slow than peacemaker.
We should remove wallbreak "or" damage to make it balance the multiplayer.
How much does this gun deal damage to players/monsters?
19.
What about PSR?
18.
This gun is about damage not firerate, DPS didn't seem to work with this weapon.
 
The only real damage I've seen with this gun, is when these user players join a small map(i.e Shooting Range and Pool Party) or a narrow spot(i.e Silent School's Hallway and Slender Forest's Tunnel).
This weapon is extremely ineffective against huge maps, such as Utopia, Nuketown, and so on. Due to it's slow mobility and supposedly terrible accuracy, this makes them an easy target for snipers. Players with a high vantage point, can use this to their advantage and use a PSR to take out the user. The Laser Minigun also takes up the slot of Premium Weapons, which is an important spot for weapons, such as the AGB or other weapons used for Rocket Jumping. This disables them from acheiving a "Rocket Jump" or having an effective "Suicide Mechanism"(unless they have a Plasma Releaser).

This weapon only poses a threat to players with Iron Armor.
 
I disagree.. I rack up 100+ kills a 9 min match using this.its accuracy looks bad but it's op as crap. As the croshairs become bigger just use the south crosshair's bottom to aim. Also, you can predict enemies moves and I have beaten many a freeze ray or chain thunder bolt user. Also you can walk break and pierce through multiple enemies

You were in a very small map..not to mention u played with lvl 7's. I recently played there and got 427 kills in 15 mins while playing with level 21-16's by spamming the minigun due to its useful walbreak and very accurate precision. It also has a much bigger range than the almost melle like thunderbolt. I don't know about u but I'll rather kill enemies from a medium to long range away to avoid getting killed a lot. I am a very good rusher if I have to be, if I say so myself. I got a triple kill the first 4 sec by piercing through all 3 enemies and rest is well, me killing the crap out of every moving thing xD. As I said while the thunderbolt has a slightly higher dps, the chain thunderbolt, will all the necessary gear and such, can match and even overpower dragon breath and chain thunder users. Using correct gear, it can have slightly higher dps than thunderbolt and then you have the perks of long range, good accuracy, wallbreak, and enemie piercing rounds. As your playstyle and monetary situation might be different from mine, I can't judge you but give it a shot, this thing =op. I have all the guns. Maxed and maxed ruby armor and other gear such as capes and hats. And how did u manage to play with lvl 7's... Sounds fishey as lvl 1-21 can't play with lvls 22-28... I sense a glitch or hack here...

Level 28?
And I do play with the upper levels. I just know a lot of dating servers like the pic. iOS isn't the best because it has a lot of bugs in it ever since update 9.0.0 came out. i can play with almost any levels do to the custom servers search. Which takes a long time to load because almost every server is on it. Plus I'm using an iPhone 4 which is super laggy and tends to shut down.
And yes the laser mini gun is way better than the thunderbolt, however it costs more
