Trivia

 * When running out of ammo, the minigun will not start reloading the gun until the user presses the fire or reload button.
 * If a user reloads this weapon, his/her move speed will further be decreased. It also happens with the standby mode of the Predator variant.
 * There's a sound bug where the user who switches view from a player firing or revving up the Minigun to another player will still hear it looping until the next round starts or the former stops it.
 * Instead of holding the M134 by the chainsaw grip and joystick like in-game, most shop model previews holds the minigun as if it has a pistol grip.
