What’s better than a gun that launches wee nuclear bombs? How about one that fires a few thousand per minute? One enterprising Fallout: New Vegas modder created the Mininuke Minigun to see just how fast a nuclear holocaust can happen.
As you can see in the above video, via Reddit, firing a few hundred rounds of nuclear explosive ammo is not the safest of weapons. But the architecture of New Vegas really holds up against a streaming series of mini mushroom clouds. We can’t recommend as a good tool for performing rocket jumps though.

The real use for this is to spray from one side of the screen to the other, effectively destoying everything in a line/circle and is what I expected to see.

Heres a better video from Fallout 3 showing a WIDE spray of the Mininuke Minugun.
Plus a Mininuke AK47 for laughs.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 5:30 PMgood job, show a crap mod that requires little effort to make that was in fallout 3. Don’t show some of the original idea mods and things that take actual effort

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 6:01 PMIn that vein, any chance of kotaku doing a post about some of the top Fallout New Vegas mods? I’m not sure if you guys did it for Fallout 3, though I did see one for Starcraft 2.
Of course SC2 has an extremely complex editor where you can create just about anything, but I think it would still be useful for gamers if when a game that has a lot of mods comes out if Kotaku put up a top mod list, just to let people know about them
