Not even in Warhammer 40k you don't have minigun built in to cyber arm, and i talk about cyber arm of space marine who are super soldiers of so high level that normal people see them like Demigods
AMMO, yes ammo, and then another person wrote:And for those with visions of a minigun forearm ...
Just where the hell are you going to carry several kilos of ammo?
So you see how another person can imagine "where the hell are you going to carry several kilos of ammo". It also working for other cases, someone can't imagine how integrated weapon could work in cyberpunk, other can.That's what the other arm is for? I imagine that would be a pitifully short belt
Cyborgs are a bit of a stretch, but if you're going to have cybernetics you have to assume some sort of brain-electronic interface exists. The same applies to the net. Flying cars, in terms of the AV's used in CP2020 we have now so that's hardly a stretch.Cyberpunk as a genre has many things which can considered unrealistic, from cyborgs to brains connected directly to the net and flying cars.
Simple ... physics.So where is the edge that divides unrealistic and semi-realistic things?
That's because I base my assumptions on what's physically possible.So you see how another person can imagine "where the hell are you going to carry several kilos of ammo". It also working for other cases, someone can't imagine how integrated weapon could work in cyberpunk, other can.
Working cyberware exist and you have to assume some sort of integrated weapons and cyber eyes exists.Cyborgs are a bit of a stretch, but if you're going to have cybernetics you have to assume some sort of brain-electronic interface exists.
And includes laser and plasma rifles for example. And that monowhip thing. And integrated weapon (?). And cyber eye implants. And cyberware without truck-size generator. So many stretches. But some of them fits the setting and some of them not.CP2020 is grounded in reality.

Simple ... physics.
Along with the related fields of chemistry, electrical and mechanical engineering there are very real limits to what can be done. In CP2020 (and presumably 2077) there is no faster then light travel, no room temperature superconductors, no batteries that store as much power as a truck-size generator produces, etc. If you want fantasy there are any number of anime titles out there, CP2020 is grounded in reality.

You don't "have to" but it's safe to assume they would.Working cyberware exist and you have to assume some sort of integrated weapons and cyber eyes exists.
Laser weapons exist in CP2020, and due to their power requirements they're pretty much "one shot wonder weapons". There are specific situations they can be useful in, space, but as practical "combat" weapons, no. I don't recall any plasma weapons in CP2020. And the monowhip I personally ignore because while a cute idea there's no way to create, and maintain, a durable single molecule filament; and even if you could it'd be as, or more, dangerous to the user then the target. One wrong move and you'd cut yourself in half.And includes laser and plasma rifles for example. And that monowhip thing. And integrated weapon (?). And cyber eye implants.

I'm discussing CP2020/CP2077, that's why I refer to them so often.By the way, what we are discussing? I'm sort of lost. Are we discussing about Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk 2020 or Cyberpunk whole genre?
5.56mm would probably be better simply because of the massive recoil you'd get firing the thing. Your big "problem" would be the very very limited ammo supply. All that cost and mass for a 0.1 (600 rounds) to maybe 1 second (6000 rounds) burst?Originally, I meant this as a joke because while I thought it would be possible I did not think it was practical, hence the wink, and followed it with a disclaimer that it would probably be pretty short, but now I have to show that some of the more optimistic views are still "based on what's physically possible." I will say I was surprised as I was expecting a ceiling of <30 rounds.
The stats on a CP2077 cyber gun would likely be even better because it is probably using a smaller caliber and maybe even a more compact casing than the 7.62 used by the M134.
Absolutely. It's all well and good having a super powered arm, but if your legs and particularly your back aren't beefed up you're going to do some serious harm to yourself trying to lift something like a car.Just because you have cyber arm doesn't mean you can lift some masive weight, your cyber arm is stronger than your normal arm since is metal and so on, but you still need your full body strenght to lift something heavy..
In 2020 you had abtteries which needed replacing. I think it was annually or bi-annually.JWhat about power source for all that?.
This guy gets it. Have a cookie! Have all the cookies!JIntegrated Weapons sound cool but they would need to be compact and not so hard to fit in your arm, shotgun, normal gun, stun gun, blade or even hand razors all of thos can be in game, easy simple and good.
And for those with visions of a minigun forearm ...

Energy minigun with a belly appearing flabby to hide the large battery.
For sure, I chose the round that I did solely because it was started by the idea of putting a "minigun" in your arm, classically that seems to refer to the M134 which uses the round I used as an example. A minigun is clearly not a good idea for a cyber weapon, but if you have a belt fed weapon that uses hundreds instead of thousands of rounds, with a round the size of or smaller than the example an arm is surprisingly adequate. I'd still rather spend the humanity on just about anything else myself, but to each their own.5.56mm would probably be better simply because of the massive recoil you'd get firing the thing.
