I'm not sure where somebody got the idea of a zero-recoil chaingun...
The autocannon on an A-10 produces a 12,000 lb recoil (with a 30mm round)
Scale that down to the GE minigun (0.223 calibur) or a Bushmaster (0.30 calibur) and you're at least talking about the equivalent of an M-16.
The barrels don't spin because of force transfer -- they spin because they're driven by an electric motor.
If the battery dies, so goes the gun's ability to fire continuously.
Needless to say, I doubt anyone ever fired a minigun one handed (the miniguns used in T2 and Predator are actually real and fire real bullets...it's the only way to make the muzzle blast look right on film). The guys in Wolfenstien were giant supermutants that were engineered with the guns built into their bodies. BJ Blaskowitz had to 2-hand the sucker.
Anyway, I just thought the recoil comment was absurd and needed some rebuttle...
