Making a Minigun in Besiege

I could make it simpler, but then it wouldn't be ridiculous.

What other large weapons should I make?

[@maxboskeljon6440]

Make a fighter jet that can fire large missiles. Good luck...

[@aquaticlobster5028]

A nuclear missile in real life

[@AC-mu2qq]

You should make an shotgun

[@erased5466]

a trebuchet

[@koldbird]

I've found the cannons themselves to be better ammo than what they fire.

You should build a chain-fed machine gun, where the cannons are on a chain of hinges, and is fed into the main firing mechanism.

[@ReidCaptain]

Cannons would be too easy with that, but I could try it with bombs

[@ktos-napewno]

@@ReidCaptain maybe try shotgun with bombs in shells If possible

[@SharkfightersSH]

@@ReidCaptain Technically this already is a chain fed machine gun. You have a Clip (Cannonstack), Ammunition (cannons), a firing pin (flamethrowers), reciever/eject Mechanism (spinny thingy).. I think this is an amazing job you did there. Building a boltaction rifle might be a bit trickier.

[@wabbit4936]

@@ReidCaptain please do, i'm very excited for that one

[@jo-annelesar4170]

That smort

[@NuffMan_]

Do traditional gun, where the cannons are basically cartridges stored in a magazine where they are "chambered" (put next to fire) and ejected after. Or maybe cannons feeded via a feedstrip like in a Hotchkiss M1909 or japanese type3

[@ReidCaptain]

I was thinking of using a belt, but at least for this build it felt too easy to just pull the cannons in a chain and heat them up one at a time. If I was using bombs though, that could be a good way to keep them from exploding

[@THESLlCK]

@@ReidCaptain not heating them up lol, activate them with sensors lol

[@TurtleMaster7474]

I tried making a weapon like that, it had a magazine of about 12 cannons that were lifted up via a platform with winches. The cannons were lifted into a "barrel" where a torch ignited them, sending the cannonball out the barrel and the empty shell (the depleted cannon) out the back. It worked pretty well, only jammed occasionally

[@automobiili_xd6236]

Reid, when you said the physics went weird, it is because you seem to have unintentionally created a soft form of something called "flat block stabilization". The game thinks that the armor plate is waaaay farther away (hundreds, if not thousands of meters) than it actually is, making it have massive inertia, thus it is often used for stabilization mechanisms, as you need a ton of force to overcome that inertia.

[@ReidCaptain]

Weird

[@peepock7796]

@@ReidCaptain I agree

[@thenthson]

So he summoned our great overlord Klang in a non spacefaring game. Neat.

[@QueueWithACapitalQ]

@@ReidCaptain scales block to well below anything ever intended "wHy Is ThE pHiSiCs BeInG wEiRd?"

[@jonomoth2581]

I made a machine gun: got a big belt of hinges with cannons on. Each cannon is secured to the belt with a grabber and is controlled by a sensor. As the belt is pulled along the sensors are activated one at a time, causing grabbers to release cannon and fire it at the same time. Main disadvantage I needed a keybind for every cannon (took a while). Advantage is I now have two accurate projectiles, the cannon ball, and the cannon going straight out the back. no recoil whatsoever so I put cannons on x100 and i could also run it slower or faster. Tried putting it on a turret, but too heavy. Did get small version on a vehicle

[@braziliangentleman5148]

the main advantage here is that you don't need special construct just to make the ammunition, you only need the cannon. btw, you don't need flamethrowers, the torches make the cannon shoot too

[@guts60]

Does it work? Yes Does it work _effectively?_ Nope. Cool af tho

[@ReidCaptain]

Lol

[@Nugcon]

that's all that matters

[@walkerwilliams-rigsofrodst3316]

I love how this creation is basically going over some of the fundamentals in firearms. The cannons are literally bullets themselves, getting loaded into the gun and get discarded like a real shell, at speed too. Let alone the ability to jam (That’s where I’m at right now so probably got fixed) Love the video!

[@xtin918]

the way on how it’s similar to an actual machinegun shows how great standard designs are huh.

Very interesting design for a minigun! I think I didnt see a design like this in besiege vanilla ever before.

[@jaspertoons9494]

Love your vids man keep up the good work :)

[@polyarthus4282]

you seems to have made an only okay gatling gun, but a really good repeating catapult that happens to shoot whole cannons at targets !

[@afrye51]

I laughed the whole time, this is the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen and I love it

[@minecrafter101234]

really interesting thought process

[@arkadiuszrucinski2020]

That was a really cool video, but if you would like to do something like this in the future, i think torches or flaming balls would be better, also gattling gun (if i remember correctly) has a separate bullet chamber for every barrel. Keep up good work!

[@Bossman50.]

This man’s the Nile Red of Besiege.

[@pouchyCorp]

Great video !

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

This thing is fascinating. The cannons are basically cartridges and the whole system is less of a mini gun and almost more like a Dardick magazine fed revolver? Like a really bad Dardick pepper box

[@Breadicius]

*village hearing distant cannon fire* village: atleast its not us a 1 ton cannon with traces of burnt gowpowder being flung through the air at 170 km/h: hello there

[@majoras_swag]

"I've yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet."

[@OffGriDDD]

1:50 Damn that’s some fast building

[@4ae4ik5]

Nice idea, i think you can make something similar, chaingun, you can use chain to carry any type of guns, and using wheels move the chain through flamethrowers or something else

[@saratan.]

keep the amazing vids up

[@internetexplorer9407]

Another banger let's go

[@darklordofsword]

In terms of replicating a galling gun, this is pretty good. Only way it would be closer is if you'd stuck to a straight gravity-feed magazine.

[@UnknownZYX_4085]

“More of like a missile” LIKE AN MLRS

[@neoxpro12]

i thought this game has been dead for years now its really nice to see someone do something in this game again

[@Helycon]

The cannons in besiege work like real bullets and cartridges so you could just make any modern gun mechanism with it, so long as the janky physics play along

[@QueueWithACapitalQ]

You made this WAY more complicated then it ever needed. you could just use the torch as it doesnt need fuel or ammo, instead of conveyor belt feeding loose cannons you can just put the cannons on that giant circle you made then spin that with a torch at the top to fire the cannon as it gets there

[@exitsignman5348]

Add a chain, maybe combine the tank tracks so it’s flexible and a moving part to deal it through the gun?

[@TK--ch9jl]

My man turned the gun into ammo

[@idunno402]

Ballasts do not catch fire, use them to make parts of the build easier to manage around flames.

[@explosify5035]

interesting, if I made it I probably would have tried to make it belt fed, so that it could be all in a line. I would probably get some cannons and attatch their front and back with connectors, and pulled them through to the firing chamber where a flamethrower would be behind it.

[@just_a_littlehorse_crazy.7639]

Me: hehe rocket go brrr Raid: “so we’re gonna need to stop to rotation and this will slow it down but launch it farther, as it rotates around it barely scrapes the ape, high speeds, ejecting, cannons, more sciencey stuff.”

Spinlaunch. Spin a small rocket shaped object VERY FAST around a wheel. and use centrifugal force to push the rocket out. like the cannon. and use sensors to perfect and smoothen the timing.

[@alexandrefillot9600]

Fun fact : Gatling's ammo feeding design was very similar as to what you've built, it was a column of bullets that fell one after another into each chamber (there was no conveyor belt tho), so yeah, that thing is *ESSENTIALLY* accurate.
