Yeah. The USAF internal version might be FUBAR in design, with the mounts inadequately stabilizing it and causing inaccuracy issues. Well, that and it it can take 0.5 seconds for the radar absorbent door covering it to open from when you trigger it so it can actually fire. Oh, and in later models they changed the manufacturing process so it’s cracking the RAM skin around it anyway so they don’t want you to use it except in an emergency which if you ever get to gun range it pretty much is by definition...

And of course, you only have 182 rounds which at 3300 RPM is only about 3.3 seconds of ammo...
