The term "minigun" refers to a type of rotary cannon that is a smaller version of the larger Gatling gun. The name comes from its design, which features multiple barrels that rotate to allow for a high rate of fire, akin to the original Gatling gun. The prefix "mini" indicates its reduced size compared to earlier, larger rotary weapons, while still maintaining a significant firepower. Although it is not truly "mini" in size, the name highlights its compactness relative to its predecessors.
