+15, you also count the first round, as explained in the errata.

That would have been me. It is the same theoratically, but I think that in
practice it varies a bit. Anyway, if you aim a minigun at a fixed point
(brace it real well), I believe the rounds end up in an ellipse, which does
mean the point of aim isn't too well aligned with your sights.

A minigun would have such a recoil that you can't fire it handheld even if
you want to. More Guns! says that General Electric states the recoil for
it's 5.56mm minigun as being around 45kg. The gun itself weighs around 12 kg
(empty), so it would be managable as long as you don't fire it.
