That sounds about right, even non-penetrating hits will weaken the plating until something slips through.

The magazine size is only 120 rounds (At least according to the games), so you'd need 10 supermutants to get 1000 rounds off.

...Should 5mm AP pen T-51b?

Most common 5mm is jacketed hollowpoints, although there's some AP rounds laying around. And the burst-size of said minigun is some 40 rounds with each pull of the trigger, even if it's ROF is apparently a hilarious 60k rounds per minute.

FO1 had power armor guys lose to minigun wielding supermutants, which fire bog-standard 5mm.

T-51b was nerfed in FO3 as well, the 3D fallouts in general didn't have the 'gear based progression' of FO1-2, or at least in lesser amounts. You can beat FO3/NV with some of the entry level gear pretty easily, doing that in FO1-2 is practically impossible.

I just don't think it's right that vs debates are solely determined by whoever buys the franchises and adds whatever they want. I could win the lottery and buy 40k, then insist everyone in it is omnipotent and leave it at that. It just doesn't make debates fun when a franchise is laughably...

I'm really not going to include anything from Fallout 4 onwards, Bethesda just gets plain silly, silly even for Fallout.

T-60 doesn't use hydraulics, only T-51 does. T-60, being an upgraded form of T-45, uses servo motors on the joints, which reduced the mobility/agility of the user.

Nice find! Maybe 15 round Japanese drums did exist then. ;D Posted the picture to show how huge a heavy bolter is, rather than how easily carried they are. XD

Mmmm that's wikipedia, not always the most reliable with military tech. The Type 99 (an oerlikon clone) was mounted with 60 round drums with turret mounted weapons from what I can tell. To my knowledge there isn't any pictures of smaller drums on the weapon.

Small drums for autocannons are like...60 rounds minimum. For the Oerlikon/Hispano cannons. Looks like the 40k drum holds around 12-16 rounds.

I mean that works in reverse, can you post the actual weights of the weapons, or at least eyeball their weights? It would be nice to get a nice list of their actual weights calculated. That's referring to Heavy Bolter vs Bolter...Bolts. So human and space marine bolters/heavy bolters fire the...

The various multi-barrel autocannons are visibly smaller caliber than the 'basically a 40mm bofors on a tripod' Imperial guardsman variants though. Heavy guns? Certainly, but they look no larger in dimensions and might actually be smaller in weight. Is there any canonical words about space...

Another thing, Fallout Tactics M2 browning appears to be a modified variant which only weighs 40 pounds. Indicates usage of aluminum, lighter barrel profile, that sort of thing.

I can't imagine a 40mm autocannon being man-portable unless you break it up into a dozen pieces. Why would Space Marines even use expensive bolters when they can just lug around an autocannon like it was nothing? A heavy bolter seems to be a weapon which causes a reduction in Space marine...

Its possible that Guardsmen variants of heavy weapons are cut down as much as possible to be usable. I know human-scaled bolters are predictably a lot smaller than space marine ones.

40k humans are generally considered to be pretty beefy compared to IRL humans, and considering a heavy bolter is the size of a person (so, like 80 kilograms if it was made of meat, let alone METAL) it seems Imperial guardsmen channel the power of the Emprah to carry em around.

Of course, but the trusty M2 is hardly a heavy-bolter sized monster gun, its more comparable to a bog-standard minigun in weight. I think there's some obscure rulebooks for 40k which severely lowball the weights of the weapons, because sci-fi writers have no sense of scale.

People neglect that the FO 'minigun' is in fact closer in size to the Microgun. Thing only weighs some 28 pounds. Completely unusable for normal people on account of recoil and weight (and how you hold the damned thing), but for power armor? Even average joe can use it now. Even assuming it's...
