From what I've read, a minigun is difficult to aim because the barrels spin,
making it difficult to line up the point of aim (in your sight) with the
point the bullets will actually strike. Or something close to that reason.
Maybe we should give miniguns an inherent +1 to the TN except for
suppression fire?

That's what they're meant for anyway :)
