Materials

All credit goes to Dragonsandman!

To start makeing your own minigun, you’ll need these materials ready. The tile blocks are just the material used in this guide. Aside from what you see here, you can use anything else!

The Setup

Create a post similar to this with a bearing. Depending on the size and speed of the barrels, you will need the painted block repositioned.

After this, you will add the barrels. create them in a similar way as shown below, and it’s extremely important to add room for the sensors. Make sure the sensors are set to the correct colour.

The Mechanics

Place 1 AND gate for each barrel. Connect the AND gates to anything on their respective Barrel. Connect the activation switch to the AND gates. this is important because if a barrel stops on the activation paint block, it wont stay on.

Add the lights.

Wrap Up

This is the part where you add your own stuff. Just connect all of the sensors to an OR gate and connect that to anything all barrels activate. For anything barrel specific, connect it to its respective logic gate.
